He lost his marriage, his home, his business, and his health. He hit rock bottom – and called it the best year of his life.
Dallas Collis didn’t just get a curveball – he got the whole pitching machine.
In one brutal year, he was diagnosed with cancer, hit a breaking point with alcoholism, and watched his marriage, family, and business fall apart. And somehow, he looks back on that year and says, “It was the best thing that ever happened to me.”
In this gripping, grace-filled conversation, Dallas shares how he stopped chasing safety and started living fully. He talks about collapsing his life into 16-hour days, taking radical responsibility, and waking up from what he calls “the sleepwalking story mind.”
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your past or scared to start over – this is the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

“You don’t have to keep believing the story that broke you.”
