In 2014 adrenaline junkie Brad Smeele was a world champion wake boarder at the top of his game. He had the career, success, the woman and a lakeside home in Florida.
In July that year, it all came crashing down when a fall while attempting a difficult trick left Brad quadriplegic.
The next few years were anything but easy for Brad, he has now opened up about that journey and the peace he has made with his new life.
His memoir is called Owning It: The Ride That Changed My Life.
Brad Smeele joined Jack Tame to share his story.
