 nothing short of a miracle — they found a secret backdoor into the hea
 rt of the Syrian intelligence service itself.\n\nToday, Goodwin is a tho
 ught leader on uncertainty and an in-demand public speaker. His incredib
 le journey of survival illustrates the extraordinary power of the human 
 spirit and has inspired audiences around the world. In a genuine, straig
 htforward, and sometimes humorous style, Goodwin draws on his experience
 s to demonstrate how to turn adversities into assets and reflects on the
  challenges we all face in a world where borders may divide us, but our 
 shared humanity unites us.\n\nGoodwin earned his bachelor’s degree fro
 m Niagara University, as well as his master’s degree from Washington U
 niversity, and is currently pursuing a doctorate at the Johns Hopkins Un
 iversity School of Advanced International Studies. He is also an entrepr
