What started out as a simple bike ride, down a country road on a beautiful fall day in 2011 turned into a priest at his bedside reading him his last rites.  Dave Raborn has such an inspiring story, that a book was written about his ordeal titled "Hey Guys, did I miss anything".  It is an honor to talk to Dave and explore what happened that fall day, and what occurred over the 8 months following, to bring him back from the brink of death, to a man that lives a full and inspiring life. https://www.facebook.com/Dave.Rabornhttps://www.albertahealthservices.ca/grh/grh.aspxhttps://globalnews.ca/tag/david-raborn/https://www.amazon.ca/Hey-Guys-Did-Miss-Anything-ebook/dp/B074KHQ6KFhttps://www.braininjurycanada.ca/en/helplines-crisis-supportI know!  The intro/outro song is super cool!

Overcoming obstacles is something that Brad Bartko has done his whole life...but Brad doesn't "just" overcome them...he smashes them to pieces.  He has defied all Drs and lived longer than the 24 hours he was given at Birth.  He then went on to defy Drs again, when, after being diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at age 2...was told he would never walk and sit up on his own.  Brad walked the stage at his high school graduation and is currently living LARGE at 27!  He has faced challenges that would defeat most "ordinary" people and dances through life with the most positive of attitudes and a massive smile on his face.  Brad is all about "its not me...its WE" a selfless, inspirational human who plans to create a legacy that will last generations! https://www.echoesofhope.org/https://wheelingforhope.com/Brad on Instagram @broadcastinbrad https://instagram.com/broadcastinbrad?igshid=j4kifruoa541I know!  The intro/outro song is super cool!

Sometimes in life...you have a rare opportunity to spend time with someone and then wish your time with them never ended.  This is how it felt to meet and chat with Ryan Junior Kittlitz.  Hes a freaking legend.  Being a musician his entire life...introduced him to many as he says "ultimate highs and ultimate lows".  The most significant of lows being the loss of two dear friends and band-mates in a horrific car crash, during a US tour in 2002. The band Compromise, was decimated by the loss, but Ryan, along with surviving band mates continued a music legacy that Jordan Wodehouse and Daniel Langlois would be proud of.  From drumming with bands such as Savannah and SNFU, to his recent projects with Deveraux (with Paul Wiley from Manson)   The Acid Helps (signed to tour with TOOL) and  All Hail the Yeti (Beast Coast Monster Tour)   Press play to be inspired for life!https://www.facebook.com/officialallhailtheyetihttps://www.facebook.com/theacidhelpshttps://www.facebook.com/ryan.kittlitzPersonal  instagram- @junioreehchttps://www.instagram.com/junioreehc/?hl=enAHTY instagram- @allhailtheyetihttps://www.instagram.com/allhailtheyeti/?hl=en The Acid Helps @theacidhelpshttps://www.instagram.com/theacidhelps/?hl=enhttps://deveraux.bandcamp.com/album/songs-in-the-key-of-deathhttps://open.spotify.com/user/junior.kittlitz/playlist/6kHUhLeL4IIB7rKD4DHEzx?si=o6_a-3HJRRiyCvFTZLQSqwhttps://www.youtube.com/user/MachinesFamilyhttps://youtu.be/AKFRQLDyffgThe opening song Anti Social Media, by All Hail the Yeti, can be purchased on your favorite download site like Spotify and itunes https://open.spotify.com/album/4fxBqML1YfzabrMKMDrA6e?si=myG8kU1fRJ2GWnEMGX_xEAhttps://music.apple.com/ca/album/anti-social-media/1438904369?i=1438904640I know!  The intro/outro song is super cool!
