076: The Life-Changing Power of Asking Hard Questions: A Near-Death Wake-Up Call
Manage episode 471034848 series 3424282
What if the key to deeper connections, stronger leadership, and true personal growth lies in asking the hardest questions?
In this powerful episode, Jeff Luther shares his near-death experience—spending 8 minutes without a pulse—and the unexpected lessons it taught him. He opens up about the trauma his son carried after witnessing his collapse, and how avoiding difficult conversations only made things worse.
For years, Jeff believed his survival had to mean something huge—a grand purpose, a divine mission. But he soon realized the real lesson wasn’t about death—it was about how we live. It was about facing fears, getting vulnerable, and asking the tough questions we tend to avoid in life, business, and relationships.
In this episode, Jeff dives into:
✅ How trauma affects relationships (even when we don’t see it)
✅ Why most people avoid hard questions—and how that holds them back
✅ The difference between vulnerability & transparency in leadership
✅ Why avoiding tough business conversations leads to failure
✅ How curiosity can be the ultimate tool for success
If you’ve been avoiding tough conversations in your relationships, business, or personal growth, this episode will shift your mindset. It’s time to stop hiding from the answers—because those are the very things that can set you free.
