What do you do when life gives you a second chance—and how do you make it count? In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, host Brian Duprey returns to the microphone just weeks after surviving major open-heart surgery. With honesty, faith, and gratitude, he shares his journey through recovery and the powerful lessons it revealed about courage, perspective, and purpose.

Tune in as Brian opens up about his experience and how it changed the way he views life, leadership, and success. His reflections go beyond recovery—they offer a meaningful reminder for every child care business owner navigating their own challenges. Through Brian's story, you'll see how perseverance, patience, and focusing on your overall progress—not just the daily ups and downs—can transform both your mindset and your business.

Listen in as Brian shares how living outside your comfort zone can reignite purpose and passion, whether that means conquering fears, setting new goals, or simply embracing gratitude for another day. His message is raw and real—an inspiring look at resilience, faith, and what it truly means to live with no regrets.

This special Veterans Day episode also honors those who serve. Brian and Carol, both proud Navy veterans, express their gratitude for all who have worn the uniform and highlight the Child Care Genius community's support of the Wounded Warrior Project.

This podcast also includes a special message of appreciation to everyone who shared prayers, encouragement, and well wishes during Brian's recovery—a heartfelt reminder of the power of community, compassion, and connection.

Join us for this special episode—a moving reflection on life, leadership, and second chances.
