What would you do if you woke up and your body no longer belonged to you?

No hands.
No feet.
No warning.
No way back.

In this powerful episode of the Evans Legacy Financial Podcast, we meet Jason—a man who was given hours to live after contracting a deadly, fast-moving illness that changed everything. One moment, he was going about life. The next, he was in a hospital bed, his organs shutting down, his limbs turning black, and his future being rewritten in real time.

Doctors prepared his family for the worst. But Jason didn’t die. He lived.
And the fight for survival? That was just the beginning.

This episode isn’t about death. It’s about what comes after. It’s about waking up to a new reality where the simplest tasks—brushing your teeth, turning a doorknob, stepping outside—become mountains. Where grief doesn’t end with survival, but starts there. Where mental strength becomes your only prosthetic. Where every movement, every connection, every choice is a victory.

Jason opens up about what it felt like to hear, “You’re going to live—but you’ll lose your hands and feet.”
About the darkness that followed.
The rage.
The helplessness.
The days he wanted to give up.
And the moment he decided to fight back anyway.

You’ll hear the raw truth of what it means to rebuild not just a life, but an identity.
What it means to lose control of your body—but not your soul.
What it means to laugh, love, move forward—even when moving forward looks nothing like it used to.

We talk about:

• The terrifying speed of the illness that nearly killed him

• The emotional weight of limb loss most people never speak about

• What “hope” really feels like when everything is gone

• The ways strangers, family, faith, and sheer grit helped Jason stay alive

• What he wants you to stop taking for granted

• And the hard-won wisdom that only comes from walking through hell

This is not a miracle story with a bow on top.
It’s deeper. Harder. More human.
This is what it looks like when survival costs everything—and you pay the price, anyway.

If you’ve ever felt hopeless, trapped, or angry at life…
If you’ve ever wondered how people survive the unimaginable…
If you’ve ever needed proof that strength isn’t found in muscles, but in mindset—
This episode is for you.

Jason didn’t just survive.
He became something new.
And he’s here to tell the story.
