No one who was alive on September 11, 2001 can ever forget the shock and horror that gripped the nation as the Twin Towers fell to the ground after being struck by terrorist-seized planes, resulting in the destruction of the towers and the horrific deaths of thousands of innocent Americans. It was a moment that will live, truly, in infamy.

One gentleman was inside one of the towers during the attacks – and he escaped. Blind from nearly birth, Michael Hingson had practiced and anticipated an emergency so many times with his beloved guide dog that when the attacks came, he was able to get out and survive thanks to in-depth preparation. Michael is the #1 bestselling author of Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, & the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero.

For Michael, his mindset in life has allowed him to adapt, improvise, and overcome. You won’t want to miss this incredible interview on the Counter Culture Mom Show, discussing his incredible story and his inspirational life – and what we can learn from the dogs we love and who love us so selflessly in return!

Michael Hingson

We need to be able to control our fear – it doesn’t need to blind us or overwhelm us. This is the wisdom Michael Hingson shares as he discusses his narrow escape from the Twin Towers when they collapsed on September 11, 2001. Michael’s blindness only empowers him as a leader and educator, and he details the incredible lessons he has learned from his beloved guide dogs over the years, and why fear can be used as a valuable tool to survive and adapt. Michael is also the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling book, Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Mind, His Guide Dog, & the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero. He talks about the wisdom we can glean from dogs, who don’t worry about the things they can’t control. Let’s not let fear blind us or overwhelm us – seize the day with confidence and joy!
