Nugget of Hope: "Be more open to trust."
Michael Hingson, blind since birth, was born in Chicago to sighted parents who believed in raising their son with a can-do attitude. Treated like all other children in his family, Michael rode a bike, did advanced math in his head, and learned to read and write – Braille, that is!
Michael Hingson’s life changed dramatically on September 11, 2001, when he and his guide dog, Roselle, escaped from the 78th floor of Tower One in the World Trade Center moments before it collapsed.
Michael wrote a book about his experience, Thunder Dog, which became a New York Times Best Seller, and soon after, Michael and Roselle were thrust into the international limelight, where Michael began to share his unique survival story and 9-11 lessons of trust, courage, heroism, and teamwork.
Michael is now the author of three books and hosts The Unstoppable Mindset Podcast.

The Roselle’s Dream Foundation
Roselle was Michael Hingson’s guide dog and trusted companion for many years. Her life and her heroic actions on 9/11 inspired the formation of The Roselle’s Dream Foundation. The mission of the foundation is to assist the blind with obtaining new technologies, empowering them to learn, to work, and to maximize their success in today’s challenging world.
