In this episode, I sit down with Mac McGinnis—a guy who’s not just lucky to be alive, but who straight-up refused to die. Mac takes us through his insane journey: a skiing accident that should’ve killed him, flatlining four times, and somehow coming out the other side stronger than ever. We talk about his vivid dreams during a month-long coma, the fight to walk again, overcoming painkiller addiction, and the life lessons he’s picked up along the way. If you’ve ever needed a reminder of just how resilient the human spirit is, this one’s for you.
