Get Frank will see me, your host, Mitch McPherson, engage in candid conversations with familiar, and some not so familiar faces and names. I believe in the power of storytelling, and how sharing stories of a life that has not always been easy might just help someone else out of a hole. We all have good days, bad days, and days in-between. “Get Frank” allows us to get to know people for who they really are. Join me on a journey to showcase that no matter who you are or where you come from, we all quite simply want to feel the very best we can each day. So, let’s Get Frank!

RACT Episode 6 - Paul Allen

Thirty years ago at the end of a white-water rafting trip, engineering graduate Paul Allen was still wet from being in the water, so found himself riding atop a moving trailer as they made their way back upstream. The vehicle lost control, and the trailer flipped with Paul trapped underneath. His head collided with a concrete culvert.

In this episode we’ll get frank with Paul, as he speaks about his life with an acquired brain injury, and the physical and emotional challenges he’s faced through the journey to recovery.
