The Dad Edge Podcast

Imagine you woke up tomorrow and your life was completely different and totally altered from what it was yesterday. Suddenly, somehow, some way, you have a stroke and your entire left side of your body is paralyzed and life as you know it, may never be the same, you might not even live. This is part of what I talked to my guest, Mark Ewing, today. Mark Ewing owns a couple of successful businesses, is a husband with two kids and 2020, along with the challenges that it brought for most of us, had a little extra for him, when he was in his early forties and he woke up in the middle of the night with a full-blown stroke. Fortunately, Mark has made a full recovery. Mark's story brought me to my knees and it makes me think that we cannot take for granted the blessings we have today in our lives.
