A powerful solo episode about facing fear, reclaiming control, and choosing courage even when your body—and your beliefs—get shaken.

In this raw and vulnerable solo episode of All Can No Can’t, host Jeff Luther shares the terrifying experience of being unexpectedly shocked by his internal defibrillator—moments after finishing a routine workout. What happened next wasn’t just a physical jolt. It shook the belief system he’s carried for years, the belief that he could outrun heart disease through discipline, strength, and mindset.

From the bathroom floor to the mirror where he had to tell himself, “You’re okay,” Jeff walks listeners through the emotional, physical, and mental impact of facing the one fear he thought he could keep at bay.

This isn’t theory. This is lived experience.
This is a real-time example of choosing courage even when fear shows up uninvited.

If you’re an entrepreneur, creator, parent, or someone navigating your own invisible battle, this episode will remind you:
You are allowed to be afraid. You are not allowed to stop living.
