We are going to delve into a topic that is both heart-wrenching and profoundly inspiring – The idea that hope never dies, even when faced with the darkest of trials. As we recount the experiences of patients who were hospitalized during the tumultuous times of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s crucial to recognize the unyielding spirit of those who faced insurmountable odds. Beginning in the spring of 2020, our already broken healthcare system was pushed to its limits. Patients found themselves in the throes of not only battling a fierce and unknown virus but also navigating the consequences of deadly protocols, medical mismanagement, and malfeasance. The stories of those days are filled with moments of despair, yet they are also illuminated by the indomitable will of the human spirit to overcome.
In hospitals around the globe, amidst the fear and uncertainty, there was something that remained unbroken—the hope and relentless determination of patients and healthcare providers alike. Despite being subjected to protocols that were rapidly developed and often changed, many based on trial and error, the courage displayed by these individuals reminds us of the resilience embedded deep within us all. It’s important to discuss and acknowledge the errors and the learnings from these unprecedented crimes against humanity. The missteps in management, the hurried decisions, and the protocols that were NOT in the best interest of the patients—these were all part of a larger struggle to save lives in the face of a relentless and unseen enemy.
Four years later, it is important that we not dwell solely on what went wrong but also shine a light on the hope that persisted through every challenge. As we reflect on these experiences, we see the power of hope and the strength it gives us to persevere. We honor the resilience of those who, against all odds, clung to hope and, in doing so, inspired countless others to do the same. Today, we can discuss, learn, and move forward, fueled by the unwavering spirit of hope that, despite everything, never dies.
In this episode, I am joined by Craig Andrews, a former U.S. Marine who turned electrical engineer and mobile phone designer, marketer, and multi-best-selling author. During his career, Craig has generated over half a billion dollars in revenue. In 2009, Craig launched his own company, Allies4me.
In August 2021, Craig spent three months in the hospital and six weeks in a coma when he nearly died. During that time, Craig’s team ran allies4me without him. Now, Craig shares lessons from the ledge of death and how they apply to both marketing and life.
