## Resource

We are so excited to be sitting down with Colin Ledbetter for the second time and with huge developments since his first visit! As you may or may not remember Colin's tenure as a STL city police officer was met with tragedy when he was shot while on duty. Knowing full well that he might not have been out of the woods after his close call, eventually the blood clots would start and this would lead to his leg being amputated only a couple months ago. Now we're sitting down with him to talk what he's been through, where he's going, and how he's living up to the title of "built different." Please like, comment, and subscribe for more! We are on our way to 500 subs and we need all the support we can get! 0:00 reintroducing Colin/leg amputation 8:45 mental side of amputation 15:00 prosthetic process 21:15 plans moving forward 41:15 mental toughness in recovery 49:35 retrospective advice 54:35 built different Follow us on IG! https://www.instagram.com/zach_fagas/ https://www.instagram.com/stl_mortgagenerd/ https://www.instagram.com/thedaily_murph/ Use Code ZACHANDPAT for 10% CPTN Beard Co Orders!
