Against All Odds: Ian McGann’s Journey from Stroke to Recovery

In this inspiring episode of Life Gets MoCrazy, host Jamie MoCrazy sits down with Ian McGann, an emerging advocate and survivor of a rare brain stem stroke with only a 5% survival rate. From being paralyzed and misjudged in a critical moment to walking unassisted within 30 days, Ian shares his harrowing and hopeful recovery journey.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The life-threatening stroke that left Ian with locked-in syndrome—and how bias in the ER delayed his care
