I first met Adir Freilich in October 2017, soon after I moved to Israel. For the first year, we worked on a podcast together called Startup Camel. I didn’t know it at the time, but that would be the first time I dabbled in Israeli high-tech and podcasting - something I would still be doing almost eight years later!

In the time I have known Adir, he has remained optimistic and resilient despite four near-death experiences.

* At age 7 he was hit by a car

* At age 17 his appendix burst, requiring emergency surgery

* At age 27 he survived the ‘Miracle on the Hudson’ plane crash

* At age 36 he was diagnosed with stage four cancer and made a full recovery

I wanted to speak with Adir about how these experiences have shaped his mindset. He is one of the most optimistic people I know, and yet he has had to overcome several physical, emotional, and mental obstacles along the way.

He discusses The Law of Attraction, the power of positive thinking, and shares advice with those who may be facing their own battles.

I hope you enjoy it.
