55. 3 Lessons From Dying For 20 Minutes w/ Brad Cunningham

What happens when you flatline for over 20 minutes and wake up weeks later, completely paralyzed?

Brad Cunningham knows firsthand. He's the author of Resilience Unbroken: My Story of True Survivals.

In this powerful episode, Brad shares his unbelievable survival story—first battling cancer at 25, spending six months in the hospital, and then suffering cardiac arrest in 2023, where his heart stopped for over 20 minutes.

Doctors weren’t sure he’d wake up. He did.

But he went from marathon runner to wheelchair-bound, forced to rebuild his life from the ground up.

Through it all, Brad learned three lessons that changed everything:
1️⃣ Resilience is a choice—even when you have no control.
2️⃣ The right support system is the difference between surviving and thriving.
3️⃣ Struggles don’t just leave scars, they leave lessons.

This is a story of grit, survival, and the power of the human spirit.

If you’ve ever faced adversity—or want to hear what real resilience looks like—this episode is a must-listen.

Brad is the Founder of Open Horizon Analytics where he utilizes his 30+ years of experience to provide data science expertise.
