210: TRB UNLEASHED: A Wake Up Call With Blue Phoenix Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

It’s official!! The time has finally arrived! The interviews are BACK! We’re here to help you become the superhero you are meant to be and reclaim your life and your passions and not apologize for it.

Joining me today is Blue Phoenix (Spencer), who is actually an old friend of mine. He has an incredibly powerful and, yet, difficult story to share with us today. He’s been through a lot in his life, and yet his attitude and response to these challenges is an amazing inspiration on how he’s overcome and unleashed his superhero.

Spencer had an arrest of his heart years ago that caused him to, essentially, die for 11 minutes. Thankfully, he was brought back to life and to recovery. Unfortunately, the down time caused his kidneys to eventually fail, leading to the need for kidney dialysis and the search for a kidney donor. It took both of these events to create a wake up call for Spencer.

Spencer's attitude and response to these things is an amazing example of someone who has and continually unleashes his superhero on a daily basis. It's an inspiring and empowering episode to help each of us to look for the good and the positive in our lives, regardless of our circumstances.

If you or anyone you know has dealt with kidney failure and would like to talk with Spencer, OR, if you or someone you know would be interested in donating a kidney, please contact Spencer on the The Real Brian Show Facebook Group! Either way, he'd love to hear from you!
