About this listen

I crawled out from under the truck, on fire, to see absolute destruction and a life-saving snowbank..."
What do you do when the ground beneath you literally turns into a 3,000-gallon fireball? On this high-octane episode of Empowered with JoJo, host JoJo Horn sits down with the ultimate "Born Survivor," Shaun Free.
In 2018, Shaun’s life changed in a blinding flash. An industrial propane explosion left him with burns over 46% of his body, led to a near-death experience where he coded on the table, and forced him into a grueling battle against double pneumonia and MRSA in the Burn ICU. But the fire that burned his skin only forged a stronger spirit.
In this powerful deep-dive, JoJo and Shaun discuss:
The Moment of Impact: The harrowing split-second decisions Shaun made while on fire and the instinctual drive to reach the "life-saving snowbank."
The Transition to Thriving: How to move past being a "Victim" or even a "Survivor" to becoming a "Thriver" who uses their scars as a roadmap for others.
Self-Leadership in the Dark: The mental discipline required to lead yourself when you’re intubated, immobile, and facing a mountain of complications.
The Road to Recovery: How Shaun’s passion for motorcycle safety and community became the fuel for his new mission as a motivational speaker.
Shaun is a living "receipt" that you can come back from anything if you know how to look past the chaos and find something to focus on. Whether you are facing a literal fire or a metaphorical explosion in your life, this episode is your blueprint for resilience.
