When Baz Du Bois was told he had three months to live, he refused to accept it. But this isn’t just a cancer story. It’s about resilience.
In this episode, Baz opens up about being given a terminal diagnosis, battling multiple myeloma, nearly taking his own life, and the phone call that pulled him back from the edge.
Baz believes comfort is killing resilience. We avoid hard conversations.
We shield our kids from struggle. We chase ease and ultimately lose strength.
In this episode we discuss:
- What staring at death really teaches you
- The difference between confidence and true resilience
- Why saying “I’m with you” can save a life
- How avoiding pain makes you weaker
- Raising strong kids in a comfortable world
- Leaning into hard things instead of running from them
This is a conversation about mortality, mental health, fatherhood, and the cost of an easy life.
