About this listen

Heart transplant at 23. Six months in hospital waiting to die. Then a choice: coast through the borrowed time—or actually live.

Mark Stewart didn't just survive adversity. He befriended it. In this raw conversation, he reveals how facing mortality young gave him the perspective most men don't get until it's too late. Strategic discomfort. The "live today" mindset. Why your ladder might be against the wrong wall.

If you've been postponing the life you actually want to live, waiting for "someday" to pursue what matters—this hits different.When do you feel most alive? And what are you doing about it?
