On March 11, 2005, Don O'Briant drove to work at the Atlanta Journal Constitution, where he'd worked as a reporter for 32 years. His life soon changed forever. In the parking lot, O'Briant was attacked by Brian Nichols, who had just finished a shooting rampage and killed three people. O'Briant survived, but he was deeply shaken, and as he came to terms with the incident, he decided to make some major changes in his life. One of them was quitting his job. Weekend America host Bill Radke talks with Don O'Briant about his new carpe diem approach to life.
