In this episode I sit down with heart attack and heart transplant survivor Eddie Garcia. Eddie shares his remarkable journey of overcoming life-threatening health challenges, from his early life in San Jose to flunking out of college, and ultimately becoming a successful businessman and public servant. We delve into the pivotal moments that shaped his life, and the mental and spiritual transformation that followed. Eddie’s story of resilience, faith, gratitude, perseverance, and positive outlook serves as a powerful inspiration to everyone. Don’t miss out on his book, ‘Summer in the Waiting Room,’ available on Amazon (https://a.co/d/5w5CGZ5).
