Nick Santonastasso: Doctors Gave Me A 30% Chance To Live

Nick Santonastasso was born with no legs and one arm. He was the
12th case in recorded medical history, eight of whom died.
Doctors gave him a 30% chance to live and told his parents to
terminate. His mother refused.

In this conversation with Kris Fade he talks about the surgery he
asked for at 16 so he could become a wrestler, losing his brother
to heroin and not letting himself feel it for six months, the end
of a five year relationship, and the nine day trip to Dubai that
ended with him selling everything he owned in America.

He explains the bathroom sign that changed his life, why he
thinks his body was never just for him, and how he handles a room
where every eye is already on him.

Nick also shares two things he has never said publicly: a
finished album recorded with Sean Kingston that has never been
released, and his intention to represent the UAE in hand cycling
at the 2028 Paralympics.
