Justin, Carissa And Julie Menchaca - Episode 729

About this episode

Justin Menchaca was a Green Beret when he was shot in the head by an Afghani sniper in 2011. The traumatic brain injury left him paralyzed on one side and unable to speak. Justin was joined in this interview by his mother Julie and wife Carissa. We discuss his journey into the military, the events leading up to his near fatal wounds, what that phone call was like for a parent, Justin's incredible physical and mental rehabilitation journey, online dating, the healing power of stem cells, his incredible mindset, how Carissa began "Cells for Chac" and so much more.
