Joe Watts was a successful stuntman working on films such as Mission Impossible and the Star Wars franchises when it abruptly ended after a stunt went horribly wrong.
Joe fell 25ft onto concrete and was left with a severe brain injury, ending the career he so loved.
In this episode, Joe opens up to Elizabeth and Julia about what happened on the day of his accident and the impact it has had on him and those around him.
Having made a remarkable recovery, he tells Elizabeth and Julia how he is rebuilding his life using a concept he has developed called the Mountain Method.
His goal now is to help others using this method and sharing his story through public speaking.
Joe also speaks honestly about the anger he has felt following his brain injury and how art has helped him channel his negative energy into something positive and purposeful.
He shares his outlook for the future and why he is glad to be the person he is now, rather than the one he was before.
