Podcasts about dead fred

Today, we have a tale that will leave you on the edge of your seat.  My guest, Fresh from crafting his first book "The Summer I Died Twenty Times," is  here to share his personal journey that defies the odds.  Did you know that 450,000 Americans and Canadians succumb to medical errors each year? In this episode my guest will unveil his own narrative of narrowly escaping becoming a statistic in that staggering figure. Brace yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions as he recounts 11 heart procedures in 11 years, numerous encounters with clinical death, concussions, PTSD, post-concussion syndrome, brain trauma, defective pacemakers, and surgeries gone awry.  But it doesn't stop there. Add multiple instances of cognitive medical bias and misdiagnoses to the mix – they certainly tried to put him on the permanently dead list.   In a nutshell, his upcoming book, "The Summer I Died Twenty Times," is a personal medical drama spanning from 2009 to 2018. The sequel, a work in progress, delves into the period from 2019 to the present. It's a gripping account of Fred's journey through deaths, brain trauma, recovery attempts, persistent medical errors, botched surgeries, cognitive biases, defective pacemakers, and the unwavering spirit of resilience.  Join us  as we navigate the tumultuous waters, questioning faith, and discovering the potent medicinal tool of Intermittent Fasting. It's not just about resilience; it's about refusing to let the adversities define Fred's life.  This is "Without Regret," where we unravel stories that inspire you to face challenges head-on, and emerge stronger than ever.  Resources: https://www.instagram.com/p/CWWoCIRF794

Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors! In this episode, I talk with author Fred Rutman, AKA Repeatedly Dead Fred, about the writing and publishing journey of his harrowing and inspiring memoir, The Summer I Died Twenty Times. Fred shares what inspired him to write his memoir, the role resilience played, the benefits of networking with other authors and writers, and the two author secrets that no one really talks about. I always find other people's writing journey's so fascinating, particularly when they're undertaken with such challenges as Fred has experienced. I really hope you enjoy this episode too.

Fred Rutman, aka “Repeatedly Dead Fred” was a marketer/consultant and then went into academia as a college professor. He taught MBA, Marketing and Finance for a number of years. After acquiring his MBA, his weight really ballooned, up to 340 pounds. He did all the CICO methods, tried a bariatric doctor (no surgery) and exercised his butt off. He eventually got down to about 280, where he plateaued. Then, the summer of 2009 came crashing down on him and forced him into permanent medical leave. His heart was stopping and was clinically dead dozens of times. Each time his heart stopped, he collapsed and hit his head, sustaining multiple concussions. In 2018, he learned about intermittent fasting and life hasn't been the same for Fred since. He attributes the large majority of his recovery to the healing powers of IF. He reversed T2 diabetes and some of its related issues, and is no longer asthmatic. His sleep apnea even went away. There is still some perpetual anxiety, PTSD and Post-Concussion Syndrome but it gets better every day. Visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/fredrutman/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/fredrutman/) to learn more or to connect with Fred.

We're all going to die someday. It's this lesson of impermanence that none of us will escape. But imagine dying more than once....in one summer. And imagine that the medical experts you're relying on don't really seem to know what is happening with you, and you're not even sure they're actually listening. In comes Fred Rutman, a regular hockey-loving Canadaian man. An economics professor just living his life. And that is exactly what happened to him. Listen in on what he experienced, how he advocated for himself, how he recovered fully after one doctor literally threw a book at him--one that saved his life. Fred shares how he came to learn about and practice Intermittent Fasting--not to lose weight, but to recover from major cardiac events--and how this practice has not only led to full recover, but he's a better man with a better life. And he's helping others do the same. You bet your life, you won't want to miss this conversation.

This week, Ash is off on another exciting Holishlay, and has been getting all prepared with his mobile technological gamerating devices. Meanwhile, Alex accidentally got a new job, and suddenly has to find a place to live or risk becoming some sort of cheeky hobo. We've been getting stuck into some games, which (coincidentally) is the theme of this week's show, including Rise of the Tomb Raider, Aragami, and a load of this new COD game that is a bit like the old one but worse in every conceivable way. There's a bit of Red Dead flying about, with announcements from Rockstar, and superior sequel names from us, and we have talk of PS VR and Steam compatibility. Finally, Funk brings us news from the frontlines with his XCOM 2 report, Mel has some (in no way ridiculous) ideas for what we can replace Many Moons with, and JJ wants to know why a certain beardy gent is being chucked under the bus, when everybody else is just as bad!

Jason talks with real estate “artist” and 5-time international best-selling author, philanthropist, risk-taker and visionary, Frank McKinney, who sees opportunities and creates markets where none existed before.  McKinney's first job earned him $180 a week digging sand traps on Deerfield Beach golf course.  At age 22, he bought his first $50,000 fixer-upper, selling it a few months later for a $7,000 profit.  Now, over 23 years later, he creates real estate markets where others dare to tread.  He has built spec homes (without a buyer) valued in the tens of millions of dollars.  A true maverick, he is without peer in the risky world of speculative high-end real estate, shattering price records with each new project.  And his latest?  McKinney just completed “Acqua Liana,” the world's largest and most opulent triple certified (USGBC, FGBC & Energy Star) “green” mansion at $29,000,000.  Each of the estate homes he creates is a one-of-a-kind work of art, infused with vivid imagination and designed on a canvas of sun-drenched Atlantic ocean. Prior to the completion of his new multi-million dollar “green” mansion, he sold, with an asking price of $50 Million, the largest and most expensive spec home ever created, containing 72 rooms, 32,000 square feet, 12 bedrooms, 18 baths, and a 14 car garage.  McKinney has created and sold 36 oceanfront properties with an average selling price over $14 million. In addition to his real estate artistry, Frank McKinney has now become a five-time international bestselling author.  In addition to his first two books, McKinney just released three new books simultaneously, each representing a distinctly different genre.  All three books are published by Health Communications, Inc., best known for the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.  Mr. McKinney's new titles are; 1.) The Tap, 2.) Burst This! Frank McKinney's Bubble-Proof Real Estate Strategies, and 3.) Dead Fred, Flying Lunchboxes, and the Good Luck Circle. His vision and risk-taking has been the subject of numerous international television, radio and print features.  McKinney was recently featured on ABC's 20/20 with Martin Bashir, the cover of USA Today, the Oprah Winfrey Show, CBS' The Early Show, CNN, Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, HDNet, CBN TV, National Public Radio (NPR), in The Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Bloomberg, Fortune, Barrons, Town and Country, Robb Report, The Nightly Business Report (PBS) and in over 1500 additional TV and print stories.  Several areas are covered in this exciting episode ranging from real estate, motivation, marketing and spiritual growth.  Next up – one of Jason's all-time favorite mentors, Dr. Denis Waitley, on The Psychology of Winning and The Seeds of Greatness.

Dead Fred drops the beat.
