The Andy Hnilo Show
Welcome back to the podcast! I have an incredible episode for all of you today. Not only is this an INSPIRING conversation about the fragility of life and the unbelievable story of my guest…but also this is a conversation that could save lives. I recently had the honor to sit down with Kevin Hines, who in 2000 leapt off the Golden Gate Bridge, a suicide attempt that has resulted in death for most that have made the jump. But Kevin miraculously survived. And in the 16 years since his nearly fatal try, he has become the bridge between the many mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers,...

“Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional” When I first saw my guest on the Tony Robbins Documentary “I’m Not Your Guru,” I knew I had to get her on the show. Today I’m honored and excited to have Dawn Watson with me, someone who I admire for the strength, courage, and vulnerability she has shown throughout her life. Many of you will recognize her from the Tony Robbins documentary, as her incredible story brought many to tears, including Tony himself. Dawn was born in Sao Paulo Brazil into a cult known as the “Children of God.” Completely secluded from the...

I’m excited to welcome Ryan Kalish onto the show today. Ryan has a great story of resilience, belief, and moving forward in the face of uncertainty. As an MLB player, he was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in 2006 as a top high school prospect. Ryan then debuted in the major leagues in 2010, and by the end of the season was voted the Red Sox Rookie of the year. Things were looking bright for the young MLB player; he was a building block for the Red Sox future. Although after a healthy 4-year start, Ryan began dealing with grueling injures that kept him sidelined for most...

It’s not everyday you get to interview one of your childhood heroes. My guest today is Rick Ankiel, who has an incredible story, one of resilience and unwavering belief. One that is very close to my heart, as I went through my own process of resilience and re-design. In his first season in the majors, Rick finished second for rookie of the year (pitcher). He was a pitcher with the Cardinals from 1999 until 2004, when he lost his ability to throw strikes consistently. After trying to regain his pitching form in the minor leagues, he decided to switch to the outfield in early 2005....
