Send us a text"I have spent my entire life defying the odds. I survived a dysfunctional childhood, and I went down a bad path in my teens and early twenties. I didn't experiment with drugs and alcohol in those years; instead, I earned my Master's and Ph.D. in both subjects. I was knowingly on the road to self-destruction until I had an epiphany at the age of 21. If I continued down that path, I would prove all the naysayers were correct. I would be a loser who would never accomplish anything in my brief time on Earth.That was the impetus I needed to turn my life around. I went clean and sober, started exercising, and lost 100 pounds in about a year. All that work was rewarded a year later when I met the love of my life, who motivated me to succeed even more.I built a successful career in retail management, yet I remained unfulfilled professionally. So, in my thirties, I decided to start all over again, went back to school, and became a sports reporter in the city of Cleveland. Once again, I was faced with friends and colleagues who told me I would fail miserably, which only caused me to work harder and prove them wrong. that decision would be the best choice I made in my professional life. It also allowed me to teach at the Ohio Center For Broadcasting and an opportunity to inspire others.I will turn 66 in March, and I recently discovered I have a new challenge ahead of me. I underwent an angiogram on Tuesday, and it turns out that I have three significant blockages in my heart. I will have to undergo bypass surgery to alleviate the problem. They will contact me in the next few days to inform me when the surgery will commence.My surgeons have total confidence that I will come out of this procedure better than new. As for my feelings, I'm once again too damn stubborn to give up. It will be a challenging road ahead of me, but I am not ready to end this dance yet. Plus, only the good die young, which means I will be around for decades!I love you all!" - Jeff Sack February 16, 2022This week's episode does feature some bonus content which you can access HERE and at the link below and become a member of the Coffee Club to unlock Survive Everyday InstagramSurvive Everyday Facebook Survive Everyday GroupSupport our SponsorRyan-St Marie Insurance Agency Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/surviveeveryday)Ryan St-Marie Insurance AgencyRequest a quote or just a call back.
