Episode 6 of The Grit Theory.
What do you do when your dying wife tells you to leave her to go and live your life?
Today we had the immense pleasure of sitting down with Chet Bailey to discuss his 25 year journey with his late wife Debi. Only 1 year into marriage Debi was diagnosed with a fatal disease that slowly stripped away the lives they had hoped for. But two indomitable spirits bound by love, and an undying commitment to one another transform this tragic story into one filled with encouragement and hope.
In honor of Debi who lived by the motto “Always Hope, Never Give Up, Live Life.”
Highlights:
Chet continues to love and honor the memory of Debi as he embraces her motto to “Live Life”. He is founding an outreach program in Brazil to support the climb from poverty through training entrepreneurship and computer skills. This effort is a work in progress, but if you would like to learn more go to chetbailey.com .
Chet has named the program “Debi’s Hope”.
