Presented by Yoshimura Racing Brandon Hartranft's world was turned upside down a few short weeks ago by a freak crash at the Supercross track that left him with a long list of injuries, including several fractures in his back, broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a severe concussion, a dislocated hip, and a broken scapula. The HEP Suzuki racer was in the early laps of a training moto at the team's private testing facility in Northern California when his engine locked up and send him into the ground. Hartranft underwent a lengthy surgery to repair the damage to his body and was eventually transported by private jet to the Casa Colina rehab facility in Pomona, California. While Hartranft's prognosis is very promising, he has a long road to recovery ahead of him. He and his new wife plan to return to his home state of New Jersey once he is released from the rehabilitation facility, and whether or not he returns to racing someday remains to be seen. "For now, I am just so thankful that I have a second chance at life," he told us. We caught up with Brandon on the phone for this installment of the Yoshimura Midweek Podcast, and were amazed at how upbeat and positive he is...he even had the energy to tell us some funny golf stories! Road to Recovery has established a fund to help Hartranft, and we encourage you to contribute if you are in a position to.

Episode 42: Can You Be Vulnerable?
Let me introduce you to Ryan Chen. This year Ryan was on stage at the prestigious Forbes 30 under 30 entrepreneurship event for the company he co-founded, Neuro. But a decade ago, at the age of 19, Ryan was being rushed to the hospital from a snowboarding accident that would ultimately paralyze him from the waist down. Ryan was forced to open his eyes to this new reality, learn to not blame himself and become comfortable with the uncomfortable. He learned to adapt, rekindle his love for athletics and ultimately build a successful business. EPISODE SUMMARY - Ryan describes the snowboarding accident which instantly paralyzed him. - The complete shock he felt in the ambulance - and pain but fueled by adrenaline and a racing mind. - At the hospital, Ryan didn’t want anyone to know about the accident - didn’t want folks to worry. - Imagine the doctor telling you that you will never walk again. Ryan didn’t believe it. - Ironically, pain returning was a welcome sign but reality was setting in. - The very long and dark process included 2-3 years of opioid pain pills which Ryan gave up cold turkey but also a climb out by rekindling his love for athletics and racing in the LA Marathon. - Ryan would go on to race in seven marathons and met with the US Paralympic team; ultimately deciding he wanted to pursue other passions, like entrepreneurship. - Ryan co-founded Neuro with his longtime friend, Kent Yoshimura. - He was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list as a top entrepreneur. (Kent was 30 already so received an honorable mention.) QUOTABLES - “It is a rollercoaster. I mean, you're still trying to figure yourself out and then you throw this in and it feels like your whole world stops. And for me, I think it took me two years of like really trying to figure out, well, not only like who I was, what I wanted to do, but like what was my purpose of living? Why did I survive this?” - “I never told anybody. I told friends not to tell anybody.“ - “Life is constantly changing, it's about adapting to that change.“ - “I think it's about being comfortable with being uncomfortable as kind of like something I always think about. There's always situations where you're like, you know, you're doing something for the first time, It's uncomfortable. And then you do it again and it feels a little bit more familiar. And then by the third time, you're like, I'm pretty comfortable with this.” - “You know, you're doing the best you can and be patient with yourself, because then you're going to come out on the other side and realize that that's part of your story. And that's that's going to shape who you are.“ TRANSCRIPT AVAILABLE https://inourbelly.com/season-1/episode-3-ryan-chen/ RESOURCES Support Ryan’s company, Neuro https://neurogum.com/ Forbes 30 Under 30 Profiles https://www.forbes.com/profile/ryan-chen/#7afd0cb441d0 @ryan.ryc on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ryan.ryc/ Loma Linda University Medical Center - Level I Trauma Center https://lluh.org/locations/loma-linda-university-medical-center Casa Colina for Rehab https://www.casacolina.org/ SHOW RESOURCES Subscribe, rate and review this podcast ♥️ Thanks for listening! http://inourbelly.com to preview all episodes coming up and future seasons Become a Patron https://www.patreon.com/bellyofthebeast @inourbelly on Instagram http://instagram.com/inourbelly @inourbelly on Twitter http://twitter.com/inourbelly @davidall on instagram (host) http://instagram.com/davidall # # #
