Death doesn't wait for an invitation. It doesn't call ahead to see if it's okay. It just shows up, and there's nothing you can do. No amount of fitness will keep it from you. These are the profound insights Jeff Luther gained after dying for eight minutes in front of his 16-year-old son. In this gripping conversation with Matt O'Neill, Jeff shares his journey from the depths of fear and despair to finding gratitude in life's smallest victories.

Discover how Jeff's near-actual-death experience transformed his perspective on parenting, compassion, and seizing life's opportunities. Learn the five big takeaways he gained from dying and how you can apply these lessons to live a more fulfilling life without facing death yourself. This episode will challenge you to examine your own beliefs about mortality, success, and what truly matters in life.
