Beyond the Trauma: How a Tragedy Became a Testimony

We’re wired to avoid pain but true healing begins when we stop running from it.

In this powerful episode, Ryan Reichert and Lisa Sander sit down with renowned speaker Brian Bogert for a raw conversation about life beyond trauma and the radical choice to live free from anger.

At just 7 years old, Brian lost his arm in a devastating truck accident. But it was the emotional wounds—shame, silence, and the need for validation—that shaped his deepest battles.

He shares how he confronted the “trash from his past,” built unshakable trust in his marriage, and learned that true connection requires us to stop overprotecting and start showing up fully.

This is a conversation about courage, healing, and choosing freedom even when pain is part of the story.

Brian Bogert is a heart surgeon without a blade. He does not start outside with what you need to DO, he starts inside with who you ARE. At just 7 years old, Brian was faced with a traumatic injury that most of us can barely even imagine. He was run over by a truck, and his left arm was severed from his body. After years of intensive rehabilitation and over 24 surgeries, Brian has a deep lived understanding of how physical, emotional, and mental pain can keep people buried, regardless of what their initial trauma was.  As a human behavior and performance coach, speaker, and business strategist, Brian disrupts the normative approach on how to create sustainable growth and lasting change personally and professionally.
