What if fear isn't the enemy?
In this episode, Sabrina sits down with Michael Hingson, a 9/11 survivor who escaped the World Trade Center with his guide dog Roselle, guiding 30 colleagues down 78 floors as the tower came down around them. Blind since birth, Michael went on to write the number one bestseller Thunder Dog, and now works as a keynote speaker and Chief Vision Officer at accessiBe, where he campaigns for web accessibility and disability inclusion.
Michael and Sabrina explore why fear, properly understood, can sharpen focus rather than shut you down, and how trust and preparation are what actually produce courage on the day it's needed. Along the way, Michael draws on eight guide dog partnerships for what they teach about resilience, leadership, and moving through uncertainty.
