 This is the miraculous story of the Miracle on the Hudson and one survivor's tale of success, failure, and lessons learned from cheating death.

On January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 took off from LaGuardia airport in New York City. Just six minutes after takeoff, the plane hit a flock of geese, causing both engines to fail. The captain made a miraculous emergency landing on the Hudson River. All 155 passengers survived, and it quickly became known as the "Miracle on the Hudson."

One of those passengers was Dave Sanderson. He is not only known for being a survivor of the Miracle on the Hudson but also an inspirational TEDx speaker, author, and philanthropist. 

He has shared the lessons from that experience— where the Tom Hanks-starring film “Sully” drew inspiration— to over 1,700 audiences around the world. His mission is to pass on the strategies he learned and implemented to show how you, too, can grow from a traumatic life event and achieve your most sought-after goals and outcomes.

Now, Dave shares his incredible story of survival in this episode of the Success Through Failure podcast and how he channeled that experience into a mission to provide insights on the essential facets of faith, conviction, and leadership.

Hear Dave’s unbelievable story of survival and learn how you can use the same resilience and determination to achieve your own goals! Tune in now!

There's a particular drive that comes from a background in sports, a mindset forged in competition and discipline that doesn't just switch off when you leave the field. Success for the Athletic-Minded Man taps directly into that energy, translating the core principles of athletic performance into tools for everyday life. Host Jim Harshaw, Jr. understands that the same clarity needed to execute a game plan, the focus required in a critical moment, and the consistency of daily practice are the exact traits that define winning in business, relationships, and personal health. This isn't about finding more hours in the day; it's about applying a strategic, trained approach to all of it. Each episode feels like a conversation with a coach who's been in your shoes, addressing the real tension between ambitious career goals, being a present father and partner, and maintaining physical fitness without letting any single priority suffer. You'll hear practical discussions on management, self-improvement, and the mental frameworks that help you stop shortchanging the areas that matter most. The podcast moves beyond theory, offering actionable insights for men who aim to build a life of sustained achievement, where success is measured across the board, not just on a scoreboard.
