Episode #13 A Close Call With Death - Jeff Smith, "Lost In A Riptide" in Kauai Hawaii

Our special guest today is Jeff Smith. Jeff is a great man and a "Serial Entrepreneur" in life. Jeff has grown and exited some great Utah companies and is currently Chairman of the Board of Jet Dental that he and his son Jordan currently President, created a few years ago. The cool thing is that Jeff donates large sums of money to some wonderful causes like Make A Wish, ShelterKids, Huntsman Cancer Institute, and Operation Underground Railroad! Jeff does a lot of good for others and perhaps this Close Call With Death has prompted him to even more. Jeff and his other son Josh were in Kauai Hawaii in 2004 hiking the Na Pali Coast trail when their family of 5, Jeff, his wife Sandee, and their three kids, came to Kanakapi ai Beach about 2 miles in. Josh, then 14 years of age goes out into the waters for a swim in Rip Tide conditions prior to Jeff and his wife and family arriving. Josh got sucked out in a rip tide with 16 foot waves crashing in and when he was in trouble, Jeff jumped into the scenario and both became dangerously close to death in a battle of time, brutal conditions, and a fight for survival. This story will blow your mind. Hug your children and your spouse just a little tighter tonight and just imagine what it would have been for you to have gone through this experience like they did!
