So let's get started.
Thank you so much for joining me today, Danny. I'm so excited to be speaking with you today.
Danny Bader:
Oh, you're welcome. Joe. Happy to be here with you.
Josephine Atluri:
So I think the best way for us to start is to take it back to the experience in your life that made a significant impact on the trajectory of your path. In fact, your, your brush with death was an inspiration for your bestselling book back to life, the path of resilience. So Danny, why don't you start by telling us your story?
Danny Bader:
All right. I sure will. I'll give you the kind of elevator version of it, and then you can pull some threads if you need more detail. But I had a pretty easy life up until I was 28, almost 29 years of age. Uh, grew up with a sister and six brothers and a middle-class family. And then when I was 28, I was working in the construction trade and I was working for two brothers and one brother and I were lowering a ladder metal ladder late in the day in July of 1992. And I asked, you know, I saw these wires and I kind of sensed, we might be close. And he said, that will be okay. We did it this way this morning. And we hit the wire by about a quarter of an inch, half inch. So very, very small margin of human error.
And that wire tragically had about 8,000 volts electricity in it. It came down the ladder and went into both of our bodies and, uh, it pretty much killed both of us. And I came back, my friend didn't that day. So yeah, quite the journey afterwards, you know, the guilt and all that, all the feelings of, um, you know, despair and hopelessness and all those things after, after my buddy, um, you know, past these wonderful guy, husband, dad with three kids. So that, um, yeah, that that event certainly is a, is a big Mark on my timeline, if you will.
Josephine Atluri:
That is, I mean, to come back from that and then to have to deal with not only what happened to you, but to your friend is, um, it was just so traumatic. So, you know, how did you make sense of what happened to you and then choose to go on living?
Danny Bader:
Yeah, it's a good question. It took me a little while to make sense of it because initially it was so, you know, the accident happened. I came back to life, my friend didn't, I had a very weird, interesting, beautiful experience at the accident when, what I believe my soul left my body. But the way that I made sense of it was just to, you know, rely heavily on my faith. Now that didn't happen. Initially, I was really at God because I thought God got this wrong. You know, it was kind of like, how can you let bad things happen to good people? We've all heard that phrase. So I severed the relationship with God and, um, you know, I looked for some healing in other very unproductive ways if you know what I mean. Um, but ultimately I came back to the support of my wonderful mom and dad and my sister and my brother and my girlfriend at the time.
And thankfully just pressed on, you know, it was one instance though. I can remember that it was very, very powerful for me. I was down in the outer banks in North Carolina in October, and I was pretty much at the end of my, my proverbial rope. I just couldn't take it anymore. Nobody understood what I was going through. And I was contemplating getting a hose and putting it into the tailpipe of my Jeep and just driving onto the beach down there and run it through the window and go to sleep. And I looked at the hose and I didn't buy it. I kinda got spooked when this lady came by, you know, cause I'm looking at hoses and I'm trying to the things you think about, I'm thinking about what colors should I get, how long should it be? And you know, crazy that you're thinking about self-destruction and she came by and kind of spooked me out of my funk.
And, um, I went out and got drunk, cause that was a good mode of dealing with everything those days. And I remember I was in a phone booth. I was coming back to my motel room and uh, I walked past this phone booth and I went into it and a lot of young people have no concept of what this is. Right. Anyhow, some of you though is that square box with glass and put money in. So I went in there and it's kind of like I was divinely drawn in there. It had this, this mystical light shining down on it. And um, I called my mom and she said, when are you coming home? We can't wait to see you. And I'm, you know, half drunk or maybe three quarters drunk. And I said, I'll be home in a couple of days. And when I walked out of that phone booth, Joe, something, that little voice in my head and all of our listeners have it, you know, it said, I wonder what it's going to be like when I get better.
And that was the first time that I really held a very useful thought positive thought about the future versus, you know, being stuck in the past and all the blame and all the guilt. So working through it was just, you know, it was a matter of time. It was matter of, um, you know, really being okay that I felt like a lot in life. And um, you know, that's just part of that journey. Don't don't, you know, if any, if anybody's going through anything difficult, the worst thing we can do is go, Oh, don't worry about it. You should feel better. Don't feel like that. We got to feel like that, you know, that's part of the journey, but we need support.
Josephine Atluri:
Right? Yeah. You know, when you mentioned that you had reached the end of your rope, I had run across this, the saying from Franklin Roosevelt the other day of when you reach the end of your rope, um, tie a knot and hold on. And it sounds to me like, that's exactly what you did, did having that voice finally pop up in your head and the support that you got. I'm curious, like what you said you severed at that time, your relationship with God. So then what kind of support did you lean on to help you get over this hump? Was it the friends and family that you had or
Danny Bader:
Yeah, mostly I, that I led on some negative support, you know, um, you know, withdrawal, not being authentic, you know, alcohol smoke, a little weed, couple of pills, you know, sleep, sleep with somebody that you think, you know, makes you feel good for a little while. And then that doesn't work. So a lot of those things, you know, sex, drugs, rock, and roll to try to deal with it. And, um, then ultimately I just, I let everybody back in that was, was knocking real hard to get in my mom and my dad and my, my sister. Who's my best friend to this day. My brothers who were wonderful guys, my best friends, you know, I finally just said, all right, you guys, I need some help here and I'm ready to let you in, you know, finally clicked. I went to a psychiatrist and Joe, I must've gone.
I bet I went to about five or six of them. And some of them were priests, you know, cause my, my religion is Catholic. So I was trying to latch on to that. But I just, none of them were really clicking for me. And I found this Jewish psychiatrist that, that resembled Steven Spielberg to T and I remember sitting there and, you know, I still kind of messed up going through this and I'm like, man, this dude really looks like Spielberg. And, and for some reason he just clicked with me and we went through, I don't know, maybe six months of treatment. And he was really instrumental in, uh, in moving me through, I can't recall his name anymore. I think, I think his first can his name, but I'll always hold that image of him and uh, just a great listener and realize that my faith was important to me. And, and you know, didn't, didn't judge anything, even though he was of a different faith. So, um, yeah, I think he just needed to keep going to support and it shows up differently for, for all of us, but it is very key to seek the support.
Josephine Atluri:
Yeah, absolutely. And I think we touched upon this when I was speaking on your own podcast, uh, about just being in my own grief when I experienced my own trauma and not wanting to let anyone in, I was completely fine in the space that I was in just feeling everything, but also sort of numbing everything. And then at some point you decide that, you know, it's time and I do want all that support that people have been offering me. So amazing story, Danny, thank you so much for sharing that with all of us. And so you share that just to pivot a little bit, um, that people can move from just living to being fully alive and living a life fulfilled. So I want to start with asking you, what does it mean for you to be fulfilled?
Danny Bader:
For me to be fulfilled is to really remain focused on those key areas of my life, our life that we all have and make sure that they're in good shape. And if they're not in good shape, um, you know, it's your health and it's your wealth and your relationships and your finances and those things, you know, in our creativity in terms of what you and I do to really look at those areas of your life consistently, not just, you know, January 1st in, in a goal setting exercise, um, but to stay engaged with them consistently and make sure the ones that are not where they need to be, you know, according to your measurement that you're focused on and that you're engaged in them and you're moving them up. You know, even, even when an area of life is not where it needs to be, I can still create some good energy to focus on moving it up.
You know, it's been a very difficult year for people like you and me because many of us travel, you know, we get on a plane, we stay in hotel and we speak to a live room of people. Well, no, no, no. You know, so, so financially a lot of us took a big hit. So that's a, that's a, that's a big area for me to focus on right now. Now because of that, you know, physically I was able to get in, you know, a lot more exercise and those things. So it's those areas of your life. They all, it's almost like a meter, you know, like if you're looking at music and you see the baseline going up and going down, it's kinda like that. There's always going to be those areas of our life that go up and go down a little bit. And I think it's really key not to just, you know, live, go through the motions and go, Oh yeah, it's just another day. It's a life is a rabid. Look at them and, and kind of say, that's, that's not what I signed up for. What needs to happen for me to get this thing, right?
Josephine Atluri:
No, I love that. And I think also a part of it for me is to, you know, when you're saying those levels going up and down in certain areas to not dwell so much and beat yourself up about those levels that are going down, um, and to gain your inspiration and your optimism and hope from the levels that are going up and use that to sort of fuel the things that are sort of on their way down to help you work your way through those. I love that. Um,
Danny Bader:
So you phrase it so great right there. Right. Just build that little bit of momentum and then let that start to spill over into the other areas.
Josephine Atluri:
Yeah, exactly. It's all about that momentum. Um, so you have a philosophy, uh, that you discussed on your website called Jack rabbit, where you distill five principles for living your life fulfilled. And I'd love for you to just touch upon about what that's all about.
Danny Bader:
Sure. So when I walked out of that phone booth that that I told you about, and that little voice said, I wonder what it's going to be like when I get better. That was the first time I kind of had a vision. I started to get a picture of the future, whatever people might call that, you know, I use the term vision and I call it Jack rabbit because Jack rabbit of all the animals in the animal kingdom has really good eyesight. It's eyes are further back on its head and very high up. So essentially it has a 360 degree view, very much aware of its surroundings, which is so important for us as people. So that's why we call it Jack rabbit. And then I just took the vowels out, you know, so it looks a little more unique than the word, um, the other ones are to be still.
So there's five principles. First is develop vision. The other one is to be still. And as you know, with your meditation practice, so much power and stillness when life is good and even more so when we're struggling, you know, it's often in the absence of sound that we can hear the most. And that hearing is what moves us through those tough times. So develop vision, be still, um, no thyself, which is really taken a look at who you are, how you show up, what are your values? What's your purpose? What's the belief, what's the mindsets that you hold, you know, w what's the history and the experience that you have and where do you need to kind of work on, on the impact that that's made on you? So that's all around knowing yourself. The other one is to seek support and also be support.
So make sure that we're looking around and we're offering our support to other people, because I would suggest humbly to all the listeners. Now there's probably somebody in your life that needs you right now, more than you're showing up for them. And it's not because you're not a great person. You're a wonderful person, but we just get busy, right? And unless we have that really strong set of principles that are ingrained, you know, we got to keep the eye out so we can kind of see where some, any go to somebody, Hey, you okay, over there, what's what's happening. And then the final one is just to evolve, to undergo continuous and gradual growth and change. And that's just that mindset of even with all of its challenges, this life is a wonderful journey and those misfortunes and those challenges rather hate them. It sounds crazy to some people, but you might want to welcome them because it's moving through those where we really continue to grow into our best version of ourself for ourselves. And for other people.
Josephine Atluri:
I love that. I, I just starting off with the, um, with the Jack rabbit itself and how it has that vision from way up there to get that three 60, to be aware of everything that's happening. And that's what, you know, we all strive for, especially as I teach my client, my clients and coach them on mindfulness is that, that idea of self-awareness and just awareness of life so that you can be present. Um, so that's thank you for sharing your,
Danny Bader:
Jo Are you teaching your kids
Josephine Atluri:
Yeah. Every night there there's becoming master meditators.
Danny Bader:
I wish I'd learned a little bit sooner in life. That's okay. As long as we come through it, as we move along.
Josephine Atluri:
Right. So in the topic of self-awareness, um, I'd love to hear about how you built up your own self-awareness or how you began that journey and realizing that, you know, stillness was a key part of it. Um, in order for our listeners to learn how to better understand themselves, especially when they come to a crossroads in their life, you know, developing an awareness of not just themselves, but also the situation that they're in is really useful too, to be able to make better responses. So I'd love maybe just to start with how you went about building that in yourself.
Danny Bader:
Yeah. Well, I always, in terms of the stillness, which is so near and dear to your heart and my heart, I always liked stillness, whether it was, you know, a, a run on the beach without music, when I was 16, 17, you know, um, just sitting on the beach, being out in nature, I, you know, skiing, I was in this game to, you know, just being out on the slopes by yourself for a little while. I always enjoyed that because I always felt the divine presence for me, which was God. So I knew that that was important. I didn't practice it so much regularly until after the accident. You know, I fool around with it a little bit in college, but then after the accident and I, and I realized that the silence that I was going through was really helping me to move through it and to be resilient and to heal.
That's kinda it kinda how I came to that. And then as I got more involved with personal development and coaching and, and, you know, personal growth and doing workshops, and I got my coaching certificate and all of that, then you, you just get more immersed from your reading and from what you need to learn, there's a woman that runs the, um, the CEO of the Hudson Institute out in Santa Barbara. It's a wonderful coaching school that I had the pleasure of attending years ago, Pam McLean, her name is, and she used a line and I don't know that it was hers. It probably was cause she was brilliant, but it said awareness precedes change. So it's easy for people to understand many times that they need to change. Even if they don't say it. That's where the authenticity comes in, where Bernay Brown is, is, is struck such a chord with people now.
So it's the authenticity to say, I need help. And that's okay. I'm not weak because I need help. I'm a human being. But the other thing is, is that awareness to say, okay, what does, what does help look like? What what's going on for me right now, let's not sugar coat anything. Um, what would it be like when this is finished, when I'm through this and I'm back into a good space. So it's very important to just, you know, read, learn, study, and just the most important thing I think Jo I know is just to accept who you are. You are, I try not to use the negative because lot of people say there's nothing wrong with you. And I get that it's coming from a good place, but I would just shift that into the positive and just say, Hey, you're, you're perfect. Just the way you are, even with your imperfections in your misfortunes and your challenges and your shortcomings. And that's okay. Keep moving through those and keep working to be the best version of you because the world needs the best versions of all of us.
Josephine Atluri:
Yeah, no, I love your approach to digging deep and, and sort of evaluating every aspect of, of your situation and yourself and, and all that's certainly key. And you, you said earlier, it definitely, it looks different for everyone. So it's, it's really key to, to just focus on, on what's happening within you versus always sort of comparing to other people. I know that I can kind of bring other people down. I myself have fallen into that same trap. So, um, wonderful, wonderful advice. And on your site, you know, I loved perusing through there. You have a quick snippet about risk, fear and uncertainty. And I was wondering, you know, how do you encourage people to approach life in the face of all of this, especially in the times that we are in right now and with all the spikes going on and all of that in order to make it over that hump to get onto the other side where growth and opportunity await.
Danny Bader:
Right. Well, I think a lot of times when we're at that crossroads in whatever, whether it's relationship falling apart, whether it's a loss of a loved one, whether it's a transition that the world thrust upon us or a transition that maybe we created ourselves, I think what's really important for people is to, um, just, just kind of stop and start to go through a process of, of seeing the other side of what it's going to look like when you move through these things. That's so real important. I mean, for me right now, when risk and uncertainty, that snippet that you talk about, they almost always show up when we are at a crossroads. And what I find is depending on our thoughts around risk and fear and uncertainty, if we see them as forces greater than us, it's going to push us back and we're going to stay where we are and we're going to stay small and we're going to stay in jobs that we shouldn't be in anymore.
And maybe relationships that we shouldn't be in anymore. And we're still going to eat like and be 40 pounds overweight when that doesn't need to be the case. But when you see risk, fear and uncertainty as kind of allies that says, wow, risk, fear, and uncertainty are showing up for me, I got a good opportunity here. And that's, what's shown up for me. I mean my primary source of income over the past four years when I went on my own have been, you know, delivery keynotes and delivering, um, workshops within corporate America. And I've liked them. And you know, you, you make good money doing that and you have flexibility in your life. What I realized now through COVID is that I don't want to do them. I'm still gonna do them a little bit, but I don't wanna do them as my whole source of income.
So where now can Danny step into risk, fear and uncertainty and, and played a bigger game and, and humbly offered Danny and his experience and his thoughts to a larger audience. And that's, you know, that's scary as when you know, I'm sending out emails to people and I'm talking to people about, you know, I, I believe I would be good on a talk show. I started to pitch a show and here's what it looks like. It's scary as hell. You know, little voices show up, say, who are you to have a talk show? You think you're Oprah. You think you're Dr. Phil, you want me to talk shows, fail, blah, blah, blah, blah. Um, and I'm still, I started the fourth book around transitions, which is very much tied to this. So, you know, I was up this morning around five o'clock writing because I'm starting to build that force of momentum that you talk about. But again, you know, it's, it's risky and it's scary. And it's all those things. When you sit down to write a book and you're going, Oh my God, I hate this. What if nobody reads it? What if it's not good? So you really have to welcome those and say, cool, what, what, what does the other side of this look like?
Josephine Atluri:
Yeah, no, that's, um, thank you for bringing up examples within your own life. That's really helpful. And what, what I find is with, with risk, fear, uncertainty, it's so easy to fall into that, that trap of helplessness. And to, just to just accept, like what's happening to you and, and not feel like you have the power to move past it and to, to move through it well, because it's scary, first of all. And, and if you don't have what we talked about before that ability to, to be aware, um, it's hard to see what that other side could look like, um, which you were talking about, you know, self-aware awareness before change. So, um, I love that. And is this what, you know, you have a training and renew 20, 21 training. Is this sort of the basis for what that training is all about,
Danny Bader:
Right? Yeah. Yeah. Let me just say, though, as we circle back, Joe risk risk really keeps us small, right? Risk fear keeps us from taking action and uncertainty, uncertainty usually lets us fill in the blank. It's not going to work out and it's going to be a negative outcome. So I would challenge everybody. You know, when you come back to life, that's kind of my brand and my book and yours is, you know, responding to life. We're very closer. You know, when you come back to life every morning, I get that the majority of you didn't die and come back to life. But every day, in a sense, we open our eyes and we're back to life. Watch what that little voice watch would saying, you know, watch those thoughts, especially in the morning, because that's either going to get you to get you on track or, or kind of push you back off track.
So the renew 2021 is, um, it's a training designed more for teams within corporate America because I, I have, you know, still have thankfully a nice audience there. And it's just about what, what are the steps to renew it? The definition of renew is to come back to an activity after an interruption. So what was interrupted for us was life essentially, right? So it's, how do we come back now? And we're at the threshold of 2021. So I just broke down that into, um, I took some principles and I broke them into the acronym for renew. So, um, R is to recall and go back to see where you were and what was happening. Uh, he is to engage in the now. So a lot, is it mindfulness? It's practicing some stillness. It's looking at your values. It's looking at your principles. The end is to narrate your next chapter.
So now you've got the pen, right? You've got the, and you're telling the next story. So what does 2021 look like for you? Should you have a really good year with what you can control? And I understand there are some things, you know, not necessarily in control the E the fourth letter, the E is to expect, um, positive outcomes. How do you condition your mind to start to expect good things, even through the difficult challenges? And then the five is always developing, or the fifth level of the w is to welcome wisdom. How do you develop that mindset that says every day through my experiences, I'm gaining insight, I'm gaining wisdom. That's going to help me make good, strong right choices and use good judgment. And that's what we want. So it's just kind of a 90 minute for corporate people. I've got some folks that want to offer to their teams. We do it through zoom, a little bit of me, a little bit of folks interacting some activities, but just to, you know, an opportunity to slow them down a little bit, allow them to invest in themselves and then, and then set them loose again.
Josephine Atluri:
Awesome. I love that. Um, you know, one last question I guess, is aside from getting some last minute tips from you is the idea of, uh, resilience. You know, you mentioned it a lot, and I'm curious to hear about how, you know, your relationship with resilience and how you build it up. Um, built it up over time within yourself and perhaps, you know, with your own children or your clients. Um, that's something that I'm trying to teach my own kids, model it for them, but also explain it to them. So I'd love to hear your take on it.
Danny Bader:
Yeah, yeah. So resilience, I think there's a couple of, you know, you could go deeper, but real quick for people, you know, if we give you three within resilience, I think it's very important to surrender because oftentimes when we need a really heavy dose of resilience, there's a bigger force out there going on. You know, there's, COVID, I often use the analogy of getting caught in a rip tide out in the ocean. And you know, when you're in a rip current, best thing to do is surrender. Don't fight it, just go with it until it lets you in your swim sideways and then save your energy. So I think it's really important to surrender and know that the world has some bigger forces sometimes that are outside of our control. Uh, the second part is to have some vision look past the difficult time, stay in it.
You gotta, you gotta work through it, but also see the other side say, this is not going to last forever. At some 0.6 months, nine months a year from now, this is going to be how I am. And then the key to it all is action. What action can I take in these rough times? It's continuing to move me, move me through it. So yeah, just, um, you know, slow down, surrender, welcome as crazy as that sounds welcome the opportunity to grow. See the other side with some vision and make sure that you're, uh, you're getting your out of bed and take some good actions everyday.
Josephine Atluri:
Yeah. Now that, that surrendering part I think is, is so very tricky because, uh, I looking back in my own in my own life being vulnerable, like that is, is very difficult. And also the idea that if I do surrender at this point, will I be able to get myself out of it, especially the more profound, you know, your situation is, or your feelings are. Um, but I think that's where the trust comes in. You know, it's just really key.
Danny Bader:
Absolutely. Yeah. I, I don't, you know, I talked about this. I, I, I really work to not use the word hope and I replaced that with trust. So I hope, I hope everything's going to work out for Danny Bader and Jack rabbit as I move through these difficult times, or I trusted is to read or words of energy. And when I sit there and go, you know what I trust this is going to be okay, that's going to move me more towards action then, you know, I hope this works out.
Josephine Atluri:
Yeah, no, I love that. That's like I made a quick shift of, instead of saying, I have to do this, I have to do this too. I get to do this. That's a big difference. Well, you know, I could speak to you forever. Danny. I'd love for you though, to just wrap up in terms of, you know, one piece of advice on how the listeners can respond to life in a more positive and meaningful way.
Danny Bader:
Well, I would say that they should wake up every day and put a smile on their face, give themselves a hug and understand that this human journey, that ruin is not the end of it. What I didn't mention in my accident is I saw the other guy coming down the ladder and I was yelling to him. And then my energy and my soul left my body. And it was joined with a source that I call God. And then I came back. So I know the challenges and the struggles that we have in this human world. We have to deal with them. And, and they, they do mean a lot to us, but it's not at the end of the game. So deal with them and trust that you are going to continue. The, I died, my body stopped. And a part of me went on, why would I be any different than you? We all have that energy inside of us. It doesn't matter what you call it. We just kind of keep that as your overarching perspective in life, and then roll up your sleeves and deal with what you got to deal with, you know, as a human being, that's, that's what I would offer to you.
Josephine Atluri:
Beautiful, great advice. And I always love to shift at the end of the podcast to a state of positivity by having my, my guests share one gratitude for today.
Danny Bader:
My gratitude for today is, um, that, um, I'm looking outside right now and it's snowing. Oh, it is outside of Philadelphia. And this is the first one. And oftentimes, you know, snow is associated with nothing but nonsense and traffic and everything else, but just the ability that I, you know, I'm sitting here, I'm comfortable, I'm blessed to be chatting with you. And I'm just looking at, at, uh, some snowflakes falling down. So thankful for, for just the gift of life and, and the ability to see that. Right?
Josephine Atluri:
No, I wish I could see that I was born and raised in Chicago. Now I'm in LA and I Ms. Snow so much. My husband says I'm crazy, but I miss it.
Danny Bader:
Well, I'll go out. We, uh, we downsized recently into a really cool little row home because the kids are out of the house and there's a deck here off my, my office is second floor. So I'll run out and I'll take a quick little video and I'll email it to you so you can,
Josephine Atluri:
Oh, awesome. I would love that. The first snow is always the best and it's just, it's so quiet, you know, as soon as it falls, it's just perfect. Well, thank you so much, Danny. It's been such a pleasure speaking with you. I really enjoyed our time together and I'll be sure to share all of your information with the listeners.
Danny Bader:
That sounds great, Joe. Thanks a lot. And as travel opens up, I've got a son in LA. We have a son in LA and I get out there. So I, our paths will cross
Josephine Atluri:
In person sometime. Yeah. I'd love that. Thanks so much, Danny. You got it.
