Season 2, Ep 23 - Aaron Baker on Being Grateful for the Miracle of Life

This week I’m talking to Aaron Baker and his story is nothing short of remarkable.  In 1999, as a professional motocross athlete, he sustained a career-ending spinal cord injury, fracturing three of his cervical vertebrae rendering him a quadriplegic.  He was given the prognosis of “one-in-a-million” chance of ever feeding himself again.  From the onset of his injury, he focused on not accepting the pessimistic outlook offered by the doctors around him and instead he focused on the power of his mind and willed himself to make progress; millimetre by painful millimetre. He is - by his own definition - a recovering-quadriplegic – constantly progressing, regressing and consciously evolving.  He is an adventure athlete, author, speaker, entrepreneur and ambassador for spinal cord injury  And his story is one of the most exceptional I have ever heard and it was a privilege to be able to sit with him and learn from him.  I really hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did.
