Craig Andrews opens up about the most defining moment of his life—a six-week coma after a severe case of COVID-19. Doctors told his wife he wouldn’t survive. But he beat the odds. When he woke, he discovered that his team and community kept his business running. That, he says, is his proudest leadership moment.

In this solo episode, Craig reflects on the radical recovery process and the outrageous goals that powered his comeback. From being too weak to raise the blinds to showing up at a high-intensity workout in a wheelchair and on oxygen, Craig shares the mental framework that got him through it: map the path, no matter how outrageous, and execute.

He urges listeners to apply the same strategy for the new year. Set goals that scare you. Set goals that excite you. Then plan the path to make them real—physically, professionally, or personally.

This is a candid, high-impact episode about resilience, leadership, and growth through adversity.

Craig Andrews opens up about the most defining leadership moment of his life—one he wasn’t even conscious for. After slipping into a six-week coma from COVID-19, doctors told his wife he wouldn’t survive. But his team kept the business running. Freelancers stepped in unasked. That’s when Craig knew he had built something more than a company—he built loyalty.

In this special Christmas episode, Craig reflects on that recovery period and the relationships that mattered most. From struggling to climb stairs to re-learning how to stand, he talks candidly about physical weakness and emotional clarity. Coming back from the brink helped him separate genuine, reciprocal relationships from those that were only surface deep.

Craig urges leaders to evaluate who’s really in their corner and to invest in people who show up when it counts. His story is both personal and powerful—an unfiltered look at legacy through leadership.
