Nothing describes a New Englander best then words like grit, integrity and determination but when it comes to exemplifying that, look no further then our guest Thomas Smith! From big dreams to big purpose Thomas is what defines New Englanders through and through. He joins us on the pod and tells his story as an up and coming hockey star, to the first person to be paralyzed three separate times and everything in between. Thomas shares early life memories of picking up hockey and being a family orientated young man. We learn about all three different incidents and how each time was a different physical and mental battle. He shares with us his new found purpose in life and how that started him on his journey and confounded his foundation. Thomas’s story isn’t about sadness or being bitter, he’ll be the first to tell you that. But it’s about triumph and purpose. One man’s journey leading to a profound difference to helping others. We hope you enjoy this amazing episode and as always folks Life’s Bettah in New England!
