What changes when everything you thought mattered suddenly falls away?

In this powerful episode of The Values Exchange Podcast, Mike Crews sits down with renowned aviator and entrepreneur Mark Patey to explore his near death experience and the perspective it reshaped forever. Mark shares what it felt like to face death, what he experienced beyond it, and how that moment fundamentally altered how he views life, success, identity, and connection. 

This conversation goes far beyond aviation. Together, they unpack the value of perspective, the freedom that comes from letting go of ego and labels, and why we do not have to wait until death to live with clarity, peace, and purpose. Mark reflects on spirituality versus religion, the idea of being enough, the danger of division, and what truly matters when achievement and possessions no longer define us. 

If you have ever questioned your priorities, struggled with anxiety, or wondered what gives life real meaning, this episode offers a thoughtful reminder that perspective can change everything.
