Welcome to the Back to Life Podcast, where extraordinary stories of resilience meet practical wisdom for living your best life. Hosted by best-selling author and inspirational speaker Danny Bader, this podcast is your guide to not just surviving life's challenges, but thriving through them.

About the Host

Danny Bader's life was forever changed by a near-death experience over 20 years ago. After being electrocuted and dying for 6-8 minutes at age 29 (while his friend tragically didn't survive), Danny embarked on a profound journey from merely existing to truly being alive. His struggle and transformation became the foundation for his acclaimed book "Back to Life: The Path of Resilience" and now this powerful podcast.

As a sought-after keynote speaker, Danny routinely inspires people at some of the nation's largest organizations, helping them discover how to live their best lives through practical principles of resilience and renewal.

What You'll Discover

Each episode of Back to Life explores the fundamental truth that every day, you come back to life. When you open your eyes each morning, you transition from sleep and literally come back to your life. The question is: What are you going to do with it?

Key Themes Include:

• The Path of Resilience - Learn powerful principles to build strength through difficult times

• Embracing the Struggle - Discover how to accept and grow through life's challenges with "amor fati" (love of fate)

• Finding Stillness - Cut through the noise of daily "busy-ness" to connect with your inner wisdom

• Vision vs. Busy - Focus on what truly matters instead of getting lost in distractions

• The Two Vital Questions:

  • What am I up to creating in my life?

  • How am I going about doing this, and where must I grow stronger?

Featured Conversations

Danny interviews remarkable guests who embody resilience, including inspiring individuals like "Coach Dar" Darleen Santore, who survived three life-threatening strokes and teaches others to "embrace the suck" when life gets difficult.

The Back to Life Philosophy

This isn't just another self-help podcast. It's a practical guide rooted in real experience, offering:

• Authentic Stories - Real experiences from people who've faced genuine adversity

• Actionable Principles - Concrete tools you can apply immediately

• Spiritual Wisdom - Insights that honor both struggle and growth

• Daily Renewal - Understanding that transformation happens one day at a time

Who This Is For

Whether you're facing a major life challenge, feeling stuck in routine, or simply wanting to live more fully, Back to Life offers the wisdom and encouragement you need. Danny's approach recognizes that while you may not have experienced dying and coming back to life, you do have the daily opportunity to choose aliveness over mere existence.
