How do you find the strength to pick yourself up from an absolute nightmare and move forward successfully? Matt Mauser joins Liz to share his story of perseverance after heartbreak.   Matt’s life was irrevocably changed when his wife Christina Mauser, a basketball coach at Mamba Sports Academy, was killed in a helicopter crash on January 26th, 2020, that also took the lives of 8 other passengers including legendary basketball player Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna.   A year and a half later, Matt had the courage to audition for America's Got Talent, singing Phil Collins' "Against All Odds" and told the judges, and now Liz, how he had to go on to raise his three children as a single father without the love of his life.
