"I know I’m always going to struggle, but I’m going to struggle well."
Do you remember where you were when you saw 9/11 happening?
Hockey fans remember where they were when watching the Buffalo Sabers game in 1989 when Clint’s jugular was cut by an opponent's skate.
The shock we saw pales in comparison to what Clint thought while struggling to skate off the ice, because he didn’t want his mother to see him die on the ice.
In this episode, Clint shares his journey with the listener. Our conversation will make you think, it will make you laugh, and it will make you thankful for people like Clint who share their triumphs over lifelong struggles.
Clint is a wonderful human being, with a wicked sense of humor and a passion for sharing his struggles with mental health issues so others can thrive like he does.
