What happens when a life-threatening event forces you to reevaluate everything?

In this powerful episode of the Light Up Your Life Podcast, Samantha sat down with entrepreneur, business coach, speaker, and host of The Big D Podcast, Dan Sachkowsky (Big D). After surviving a heart attack in 2022, Dan experienced a profound shift in perspective that changed the way he approaches business, leadership, relationships, faith, and legacy.

Dan opens up about overcoming adversity, navigating business challenges, and building a life rooted in purpose rather than external success. He shares valuable lessons on leadership, creating a lasting impact, developing strong company culture, and becoming the kind of person your family and future generations can be proud of.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, leader, parent, or someone navigating a difficult season, this conversation will inspire you to take ownership of your life, embrace resilience, and build something that outlives you.
