Episode #209: Being Repeatedly Dead! Featuring Fred Rutman
“There's a lot of people going through a lot of bad stuff, and nobody's ever gonna walk exactly in my shoes, and I'm not gonna walk exactly in their shoes. But if they can see, hey, there's somebody out there that went through, a real lot of stuff and still come out of it with a smile on his face and hopefully, being a positive influence to others. Maybe I can do that, too.”
