#31 “You may not survive, you need to say goodbye to your family.” Lenny Mclaughlin



Lenny and I met recently when Marty and I travelled to San Miguel to attend his son Jacob’s wedding. Jacob is one of my favorite people on this planet and I couldn’t wait to meet his family. From the moment Lenny and I shook hands we were instant friends. His love for his family is infectious and their friends treated us like we’ve been neighbors for decades.

On a recent trip to Austin, Lenny and I sat down so we could chat about life, raising kids and how to prepare for the unexpected. Lenny has first hand experience of how life can change your plans. One day he is helping a friend move and the next he is being wheeled into an OR and being advised to say his goodbyes… What would you say if you thought it was the last time you were going to get to speak to your wife and kids?
