Tragedy's Call: Rebuilding after losing EVERYTHING!- Mason Sawyer

In this gripping episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we bring to you the heart-rending story of Mason Sawyer, a man who once had a life that many would envy, only to have it turned upside down in an instant. Mason, a successful basketball coach, married to his childhood sweetheart, and father to three amazing kids, faced the unimaginable when a tragic phone call in 2021 informed him of a catastrophic multicar accident. This accident claimed the lives of his beloved wife, two of his children, his brother, and his nephew. The sole beacon of hope in this darkness was his middle son, Blue, who miraculously survived.

As Mason grapples with this life-altering loss, he finds a renewed sense of purpose in caring for Blue, his only remaining family member. This episode delves deep into Mason's journey through the abyss of grief and his struggle to forge a path forward. He opens up about the mental and emotional challenges of adjusting to a new reality while being a pillar of strength for his son.


Moreover, Mason discusses the philosophy behind his podcast, The 10/Ninety. This concept, centered on the belief that 10% of our life is determined by what happens to us and 90% by how we respond to these events, has been Mason's guiding light through his darkest times. He shares, in his podcast, how this principle has helped him cope with his loss and offers insights into how it can be a tool for others facing their own tragedies.
