Perseverance, persistence – and all of those words define this incredible man I had the chance to interview.
Brandon Anderson is a firefighter with the Fishers Fire Department in Indiana. We already know it takes something incredible to be a firefighter; someone who is not afraid to run into danger to save lives.
After years as a firefighter, Brandon ended up losing his leg in the aftermath of a motorcycle crash. But that didn’t stop him. About a year after the crash – he got back on the force, this time – with a prosthetic.
He is the first ever above-the-knee amputee to be at full duty as a firefighter.
In this episode – you’ll hear about the crash, the decision to amputate his leg and how he was able to get back to full duty as a firefighter. He has some great advice for looking forward, taking control of your life and how he was able to stop asking “WHY did this happen to me” and find strength.
