A sudden cardiac arrest stopped everything — and changed everything.

In this episode, Sig Muller shares how surviving a near-death experience completely reshaped his perspective on fatherhood, time, gratitude, and what truly matters. What happens when you’re forced to confront mortality in an instant? You start paying attention to where your time, energy, and love actually go.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that nothing is guaranteed, especially time with our kids — and that intentional parenting isn’t about doing more, but choosing better.

In this episode, we explore:

• How a life-threatening moment reframed Sig’s priorities

• Why quality time matters more than quantity

• The role of gratitude inside the family, not just outwardly

• Making conscious choices with limited time

• Resilience in fatherhood after trauma

• Why sharing your story can change someone else’s life

This episode isn’t about fear — it’s about clarity.
