Surviving Against All Odds: Tom Nash on Life, Loss & Resilience (#217)
Tom Nash was given just a 2% chance to live when meningococcal septicemia changed his life forever at 19. The disease cost him both arms and legs, but instead of despair, Tom discovered a radical new perspective—reframing tragedy as a gift.
In this powerful episode of the DEAD Talks Podcast, Tom shares how surviving near-certain death gave him a new outlook on life, mortality, and meaning. From learning to play guitar again with hooks, to becoming a DJ and international speaker, Tom proves that resilience can transform even the harshest challenges into strength.
In this episode, Tom discusses:
- Facing death at 19 and losing all four limbs
- Why “Why me?” is the wrong question in grief and tragedy
- How he rebuilt his identity and life purpose
- Finding meaning through music, storytelling, and humor
- What near-death taught him about living fully
This is a story of unimaginable loss turned into resilience, courage, and hope.

DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end; it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12, he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma, or whatever it may be. You may cry, but you also may laugh.
