IN this episode, my guest explained why he lived up to his last name. Ever since the age of 8 years, he has either struggled with suicide or encountered near-death experiences, literally. That brought him a bunch of PTSD, which then led him to found Beacon4Hope. He opened up about his experiences while helping other people find hope and intervening with people planning to commit suicide. We discussed how pressure can come from different places in our lives, and it often pushes us to do extreme things to fit in, but afterward, we might wonder if it was worth it in the end.
