John O’Leary on What It Means to Be Fully Alive
On the Live Inspired Podcast, WWSG speaker John O’Leary sits down with author and motivational speaker Danny Bader to explore resilience, purpose, and what it truly means to be fully alive. Bader shares the extraordinary story of a workplace accident in which he was electrocuted by 8,000 volts and clinically died for approximately six minutes. While Bader survived, his friend and colleague did not — an experience that left him wrestling with grief, purpose, and the question of why he was given another chance at life.
Through their conversation, O’Leary and Bader examine how people can move beyond simply going through the motions and become more intentional about how they live. Bader discusses the importance of appreciating everyday life, building meaningful relationships, finding purpose, and choosing growth before hardship forces it upon us. The episode ultimately offers a powerful reminder that being alive is about more than simply existing — it’s about engaging fully with the people, opportunities, and moments that matter.
