Episode 12: Shock Value

One minute I was delivering a speech about Alabama football.The next, I was on the floor — blue, pulseless, and unconscious.In this episode, my voice fades and others take over: my wife, my friends, and the strangers who tried to bring me back.Five shocks. Thirty minutes without an ambulance.A church with no defibrillator.And somehow, I’m still here to tell it.It’s the night Toastmasters turned into a trauma ward — and survival became my most unexpected performance yet.
