Life Can Change in 12 Seconds - S5E3
Matt Potratz is a former world-renowned snowmobile athlete whose life changed forever after a near-fatal avalanche in 2009. Once considered one of the nation’s elite mountain free-riders, he was buried under crushing snow, suffering a traumatic brain injury, a broken neck, and multiple life-threatening fractures. After spending 41 days in a coma and over 100 days in hospitals, Matt was told he might never walk, talk fluently, or regain full cognitive function. But he defied the odds. With relentless determination, he not only learned to walk again but also became a powerful motivational speaker, author, and mentor, using his own story to inspire others to push past adversity. Today, Matt is a highly respected speaker, retirement consultant, and life insurance agent, but he considers his most important role to be that of husband and father. His journey from athlete to survivor to motivator has shaped his passion for helping others see challenges through a new lens. Whether on stage, in his writing, or through personal mentorship, Matt’s message is clear: resilience can transform even the darkest moments into a source of strength. His humor, authenticity, and unwavering faith make him a voice of encouragement for anyone facing life’s toughest battles. Connect with Matt Potratz: www.mattmotivates.com / liferadicallychanged
