January 17, 2023 Ash Perrow: On What It’s Like To Have A Near-Death Experience
What happens when you die? It’s a question all of us ask ourselves at some point. But what if I was to tell you there are people who’ve died and come back who believe they know the answer. For those who’ve had a near-death experience, life is often never the same again. More importantly, they no longer fear death.

This was the case with today’s guest, Ash Perrow. In November 2016 the Sydney musician had a near-death experience after routine back surgery went horribly wrong. Before blacking out Perrow remembers a doctor saying “he doesn’t have a pulse”. What happened next made Perrow re-evaluate his view of the world and his place in it and it made him assess his life and what he wants out of it.
