Return To The Miracle On The Hudson with Dave Sanderson

Dave Sanderson was the last man off of US Airways Flight 1549 when it landed in the Hudson River in NYC in 2009. He dove into he icy cold water that day and almost died as his body succumbed to hypothermia...only to be scooped out of the river by 2 of NYC Firefighters. Now, 15 years later, Dave shares with Awakened Nation his return to swimming the same spot in the Hudson River with a group of Navy Seals, and the memories it stirred up. Dave explains something that no one could have warned him about and that was Post Traumatic Growth Syndrome... something Dave talks about in his TEDTalk... instead of getting depressed and withdrawn, he had the opposite happened. This is a powerful episode as Dave returns to Awakened Nation.

At a time when people are longing for connection and community, they are also seeking a way to create an extraordinary life truly.

From his own life-changing experience, Dave is now convinced that everyone has their own defining moment but that most don’t know how to take that first step to find the opportunities that exist out of their own uncertainty.
