If you wear a traditional metal ring, you know the hassle of taking it on and off every time you need to use your hands. I’m constantly taking my ring on and off when I’m working out or traveling.

20 for 20 Podcast

It’s the 20th anniversary of 9/11 which means that college freshmen weren’t even alive then. And with our busy lives and the 24 hour news cycle, the country is in danger of forgetting 9/11. It’s why I’m excited to tell you about a podcast called 20 for 20 that’s telling 20 heroic stories about 9/11 for the 20th anniversary.

Its hosted by a firefighter named Niels Jorgensen who got leukemia from cleaning up Ground Zero and the storytelling is powerful. They tell the story of Stephen Siller running 2 miles through a closed tunnel with 60lbs of gear on his back and giving up his life to save others, a group of 5 civilians who saved over 50 people, and a man who led 50 people praying into their deaths on the 104th floor.
