Ep. 77 | Lukas Kahler: How a brain tumor diagnosis at 32 showed me that I was wasting my life and how I found my purpose

from Success Leaves Clues with Axel Schura · host Axel Schura Academy

In this episode, Clarity Coach Lukas Kahler shares the gripping story of how a sudden hearing loss while traveling South America led him to paste an MRI report into ChatGPT, which ultimately revealed he had a brain tumor. He details his grueling recovery from a four-hour brain surgery that left him deaf in his right ear and permanently affects his balance. Shifting from trauma to transformation, we dive into the viral concept of life "side quests," explaining how breaking out of autopilot, practicing raw boredom, and simplifying your world is the ultimate blueprint for reclaiming true joy. -MORE FROM LUKAS:https://www.instagram.com/lukaskahler_/ (Instagram)https://lukaskahler.myflodesk.com/choose-your-quest (Free Webinar on June 30th 2026)https://www.lukaskahler.com/ (Website)-MY BOOK IS NOW OUT AND AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://axelschura.com/maybe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-MY WEBSITE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://axelschura.com/⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-BOOK YOUR FREE CALL WITH US NOW AND JOIN AXEL SCHURA ACADEMY (Mention "PODCAST" when signing up to get your bonuses!):⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/d/cnnv-vzs-wbg/evergreen-blueprint-axel-schura-academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-JOIN OUR NEXT FIRE WITHIN RETREAT AND MENTION "PODCAST" WHEN SIGNING UP TO GET A SPECIAL DEAL:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/d/cyfh-x92-gb4/axel-schura-retreat-2026⁠⁠⁠⁠-COACHING AND COMMUNITY:× 30 days FREE membership - change your life with my visualisation and meditation practices (new customers only):⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://axelschura.com/membership/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠× Free Webinar on easily scaling your Business to 10.000$ per Month:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://event.webinarjam.com/4ywv5/register/1ypn4cz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-MY SUPPLEMENTS FROM WATSON NUTRITION (SAVE 5% WITH CODE "AXEL" ON EVERYTHING):D/A/CH:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://watsonnutrition.de/?ref=28⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(Affiliate Link)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-SOCIALS:× Podcast Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/theaxelschurashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠× My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/axelschura⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠× You can find me and my content on all social media platforms, just follow this Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/axelschura⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-00:00 Intro: How a brain tumor left me deaf and unable to walk00:55 The First Signs Something Was Wrong06:36 The MRI, Tumor Diagnosis & Facing Uncertainty12:00 What a Brain Tumor Teaches You About Life18:30 Health, Gratitude & The Wake-Up Call Most People Need26:00 Faith, Love & Getting Through Hard Times34:30 Why Relationships Matter More Than Success39:53 Side Questing: The Viral Trend Everyone Needs46:00 Digital Detox, Boredom & Escaping Phone Addiction55:47 Life Lessons, Happiness & A Side Quest Challenge
