Let's Talk Near Death

Robert Kopecky's story and perspective are rather unique than most. From crashing into a utility pole in his 20's, to going numb after a night out, to being knocked unconscious with a crowbar, Robert has had a brush with death enough times to pick a thing or two on the concept of life and death. Having travelled different paths in his lifetime—including years of research—Robert engages us in an interesting light-hearted conversation where he shares some nuggets of experiential wisdom regarding finding our purpose in life.

Bud Megargee's journey began as a psychology grad student, when he found himself listening to a man in a hospital bed sharing about a near death experience. What he heard led Bud to consider the existence of a soul and therefore an afterlife. Raised Catholic, then after becoming a practicing Buddhist, Bud now tunes into a voice from the beyond to chart a powerful new perspective on the mechanics of our souls and how they relate to the afterlife, and beyond.
