How to Relaunch Your Life in Spite of the Challenges
Joel Boggess was born in the US and is the host of the Relaunch Show podcast, which has now surpassed 1 million downloads. Joel’s parents divorced when he was 3 years old. He lived with his mother most of the time, but when he was 5, a terrible accident changed him forever. During an outdoor excursion, he had ran out onto a railroad bridge and laid down in the middle of the bridge to wave at the adults below. Suddenly, a train was upon him, and Joel fell 30 feet to the ground below. Joel spent the next 3 weeks in intensive care fighting for his life. Joel had to learn to do many things again, and his life changed after the accident. Another interesting note about Joel is that his wife Pei, was actually the first guest on Breaking the Borders.
