In Episode 59 of the show we sat down with stroke survivor Sean Entin aka the Stroke Hacker. Despite being paralyzed on his left side, Sean learned to walk, talk, drive, and speak in front of audiences, inspiring people to free their minds and bodies after a traumatic event. His mission is to help stroke survivors, caregivers, and families reduce anxiety, regain independence, and discover hope for a better future.Sean graduated from the University of Southern California with an emphasis in entrepreneurship. He went on to co-found two startups that went public; he even worked out with Navy SEALS to improve his fitness for fun. And with all this happening, he remained a dedicated husband and father of two young daughters.Then in 2011, on Thanksgiving weekend, it happened. Sean suffered a massive stroke at age 39. While induced into a 10-day coma, the neurosurgeon performed a craniectomy. That left Sean with a long road to recovery, but he never gave up. Despite Sean’s grim prognosis, he defied the odds and birthed his mantra, “I can, I shall, I will.”Sean's journey has inspired him to launch Stroke Hacker, a program and community aimed at helping stroke survivors, individuals with traumatic brain injuries, and caregivers. Sean provides one-on-one coaching, encouraging survivors to face new challenges and helping them plan a recovery road map.For those who have suffered brain injuries, the Stroke Hacker Community is a place to share stories, accomplishments, and tips for improving overall health and wellness after a TBI.
