  • Summary

  • (Beauty In The Eye Of The Beholder series) Can accidents turn into ascension? Our guest is quoted saying, "I have more of an advantage with one arm." Can you honestly say at this moment you are at an advantage in your own daily life?   Get over the hump every Wednesday with a new "Heartbeat in Relationship Conversation" episode. Join the Diversity Duo for all the feels, and then ask yourself, “Do I judge a book by its cover?”   Jonathan is a father, a widower, and a daily living example of taking what you have and making the most of it. He truly believes that having one arm is his advantage, mentally and physically. The question remains: has he always thought this way?   This U.S. Veteran goes above and beyond. Literally. His life includes skydiving and competitive archery. And what is he about to do in New York City?   The Doc and Cowboy (#thediversityduo) discover – from the person who lives it daily – the proper way to approach someone about their amputation, while debunking stereotypes about amputees such as "they can't go back to work."   One of the best moments is when our guest gets candid...about the loss of his wife, raising kids, and, shockingly, how he thinks he has it much easier than the unsung heroes he has so much admiration for. (Can you guess who? You may be surprised!)   The defining moment of the entire interview happened off the air (but we love y'all so much, we'll share it here): Jonathan forgave the drunk driver who almost cost him his life, as It left him with the daily reminder of that defining turning point to the better life he chooses to live today.   Simply put, Jonathan couldn't imagine how he would personally feel if he knew he was responsible for changing the career and livelihood of another person – especially under such traumatic circumstances as his. In his mind, he knows two lives were forever changed.
