Jan Willem van der Heiden discusses how trusting himself has led him to overcome some of his challenges in life.

Van der Heiden candidly discusses his experience with cancer, suicide, and a forest fire in Australia. He discusses how this experience helped him learn to trust himself and to be in control of his own safety.
