#132 - Dom Fusco - Why Achievement Won't Save You

Dom Fusco is a faith driven health creator and endurance athlete in Austin who survived a sudden cardiac arrest at 24, flatlining for two and a half minutes after a mile run on a local track. Pain reveals who you are. Pride covers who you are. Dom Fusco learned both the hard way, numbing college injuries with drinking, chasing achievement, and trying every self-help practice imaginable while feeling more empty by the day. Then, on August 5, 2023, his heart stopped on a track in Austin. In this conversation, we explore pride as the root of every other struggle, why numbing pain ends in feeling nothing at all, willing versus unwilling suffering, and the faith that turned a second chance into a surrendered life. His story didn't happen to him. It happened for him.
