Episode Details

Rusty Williams is an author, a former paramedic, and retired police detective. He lives with a spinal cord tumor that has left him disabled. After learning self-hypnosis to reduce pain medications, Rusty became a clinical hypnotist. As an ordained minister, Rusty also volunteers as a police chaplain.

Rusty lives an attitude of gratitude, and loves life with reckless abandon. His newest book, “Finding Gratitude In H.O.P.E.: How Humor, Optimism, Patience, and Empathy Can Help Us Accept What We Find Unacceptable,” will be released this summer.

Rusty considers himself to be the luckiest guy in the world: He is the father of two amazing young men - Matt and Corey, and the husband of a beautiful woman, Elissa. He and Elissa love spending time with their two dogs and enjoying the possibilities waiting around every corner of this journey called life.

Rusty and Elissa are founders of The Barefoot Ministries, devoted to helping others who are suffering, either physically or spiritually.
