45 | Overtime: A Conversation With Dr. David Fajgenbaum
Om denne podkasten
That which doesn’t kill us…
Hosted by award-winning filmmaker Dan Bush, Alive Again is a weekly series featuring extraordinary stories from people who faced death—and came back changed. From near-death experiences to near-fatal accidents and moments of profound crisis, each episode dives into the transformation that happens on the other side of survival.
Told in their own words, these first-hand accounts explore not just what happened in the moment, but how everything changed after: perspectives, priorities, purpose. Some stories are miraculous. Others are brutal. All of them are unforgettable.
Our mission is to find, explore, and share these stories to remind us all of our shared human condition.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you don’t die– this show is for you.
* If you have a transformative near-death experience to share, we’d love to hear your story. Please email us at [email protected]
