This conversation is filled with powerful reminders that the moments we often cannot control can still reveal the strength, kindness, and resilience within us.

When The San Clemente Podcast invited Scott Muir to share his story, it felt especially meaningful. Scott isn’t just a guest with an incredible story—he’s a longtime San Clemente local, lifelong surfer, husband, father, former Division 1 soccer player at the Air Force Academy, and 12-year Air Force pilot.

In this episode, Scott opens up about the surfing accident that changed his life, the young surfer who helped save him, and the remarkable journey that followed.
