About this listen

Today on the Poddy: Samoana Matangi grew up in Utah, smashed school life out of the park, switched careers to work the powerlines… and then one day everything changed in a split second. Instead of packing it in, he rebuilt himself into a speaker, a mentor, and one of the most resilient humans walking the planet. This is a bloke who’s lived through something most people don’t survive, and somehow came out the other side with humour, faith, and a bloody good attitude. 02:30 - Locked outside in -35 degree weather08:45 - Listener feedback12:10 - Samoana Matangi 19:00 : Mormon Mission in Brasil23:00 - Linesman work27:30 - Day of the accident33:40 - Hands36:20 - Identity crisis38:30 - Learning how to live with hook hands45:45 - Men's Survival Weekend47:15 - Post-Traumatic Growth50:35 - Being shot at the petrol station Check out Sam's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thenohandedbanditBurns Support Group NZ: https://www.burns.org.nz/ Learn more about your ad choices.
