Learning from those who suffer

There is maybe only one truly reliable prize you win for enduring something difficult: You now know what it’s like to endure something difficult.

This new, specialized knowledge might feel mostly useless unless 1) you plan on enduring that same thing again or 2) you plan on sharing that knowledge with others who may endure that same thing.

What Doesn’t Kill You is a publication intended to document that hard-earned knowledge - and honor those who make it their mission to turn right back around and use the unique insights and empathy they’ve gained to help others.

As a paid subscriber you can expect highly produced podcast episodes each month, each telling the personal story of an individual confronting the hardest, most soul-crushing realities of life. You’ll also get access companion articles that contain extra insights, experiences, and multimedia related to each story.

Note: The price of an annual subscription ($60) is roughly equivalent to the cost of a day of my wife Becca’s medical care (doctors, medicine, and supplements). Every subscription brings my full-time caregiving for her one step closer to financial sustainability.
