Transform Tragedy Into Triumph Using Trust, Teamwork, and Blind Faith with Michael Hingson
In this episode of “The Few with Boo,” we sit down with Michael Hingson, a remarkable individual who found himself in tower 1 of the World Trade Center on 9/11, completely unaware of the horrifying events unfolding around him. His story is one of survival, teamwork, and the unbreakable bond between man and guide dog.
You will learn:
- How Michael Hingson managed to escape the collapsing tower and find safety in the midst of chaos and uncertainty.
- Insights into how Hingson’s faith and experience on 9/11 shaped his understanding of the event and its aftermath.
- Lessons from his dogs about being brave, overcoming adversity, and walking in faith, as featured in his upcoming book, “Live Like a Guide Dog.”
- The crucial role of trust in the relationship between guide dogs and their owners, and its broader applications in human interactions.
- Michael Hingson’s approach to not letting fear overwhelm or blind you, and using it as a tool to stay focused and aware in emergencies, as well as embracing a positive mindset in the face of adversity.
The difference between dogs and people is that unless some really incredible trauma has come along that directly affects a dog, dogs are open to trust where we have learned not to be because we think everybody has got their own agendas.
