Episode 64
He has almost died 11 times. Not metaphorically. Eleven times something should have ended him. And he is still here, 68 years old, in the best shape of his life, building something that helps other people survive their own version of impossible.3
Adam first met Bob over 10 years ago. In this episode, Bob walks through two of his eleven close calls, including a head-on collision in Wind River Canyon where he was ejected from the car, flew horizontally through the air, and stood up on the road while a highway patrolman said he had never seen anything like it in 26 years.
Bob now hosts, A Close Call with Death, a podcast where he interviews people who survived the unsurvivable. In this conversation, he shares what he has found runs through every single one of those people. No regrets. A gratitude for life that was not there before. And a deep desire to serve others that the experience created. Adam and Bob also go deep on what it takes to stay in the fight long enough for the miracle to arrive. Why surrender is sometimes the only move. How to stop living in resistance to what already happened. What earning a physical transformation actually takes. And why the people who have lost limbs consistently say they would not trade the experience for anything.
Bob is 68, has logged 1,600 Orange Theory workouts, and wakes up every day grateful he is alive. That gratitude is not accidental. This episode is about how you build it, and what it costs.
The best version of your life is waiting on the other side of what you are still avoiding.
