All Can No Can't | Mastering Resilience
Welcome to All Can, No Can't – the podcast where we turn "I can’t" into "I can" and transform challenges into opportunities.
I’m your host, Jeff Luther, and I started this journey after dying on a CrossFit gym floor and getting a life-changing diagnosis. This experience forced me to confront what I thought I couldn’t do—and taught me just how much more I was capable of.
Each week, we’ll dive into stories, strategies, and mindset shifts to help you focus on what’s possible—even when life throws you curveballs. Whether it’s personal struggles, professional hurdles, or those quiet doubts that whisper "you’re not enough," this podcast is here to help you push forward.
Because when you stop fixating on the can’t and lean into the can, you’ll realize you’re stronger than you ever thought. Let’s do this together.
Let's Master resilience together.

087: When Life Feels Long: Lessons From Dying Twice and Coming Back Stronger
We’ve all heard the saying, “Life is short.” But what happens when life feels unbearably long?
In this raw and deeply personal solo episode, Jeff Luther shares his story of dying—twice—and the brutal lessons that came with it. From surviving sudden cardiac death to navigating the collapse of a 22-year marriage, Jeff reflects on how these moments shaped his perspective on gratitude, purpose, and perseverance.
This isn’t about motivational clichés or sugarcoating pain. It’s about staring down the hardest seasons of life and choosing to lean in when everything in you wants to lean out.
In this episode, Jeff dives into:
✔ Why “Life is short” can sometimes be an excuse we use to avoid the hard things
✔ What to do when you’re stuck in a long, painful season that feels endless
✔ How to stop waiting for perfect timing and start living with urgency
✔ The power of patience, perspective, and purpose after trauma
✔ Why success isn’t the goal—it’s the pursuit
If you’ve ever felt like life was dragging you through hell, this conversation will remind you that the clouds do part—and you’re stronger than you think.
