42 minutes was the difference between life and death.
In this powerful episode, Steve Alessi shares the story behind his near-death moment and recovery from a major heart-attack in 2007, the type commonly known as the 'widow-maker'.
With personal reflections and direct accounts from the first responders who were there on that pivotal night, the Alessis share the emotions, thoughts and realities they faced in the aftermath.
You'll discover the powerful lessons you need to apply to overcome your own "42" moment, when it seems your world has been shaken and you don't know how to recover from the shock of a tragic or unexpected event.
