Steve Maxwell on Being Dead for 25 Minutes & What He Says He Saw

Military veteran and entrepreneur Steve Maxwell joins the Like A Farmer Podcast for a remarkable conversation about business, family, faith, regret, and getting a second chance at life. Steve takes us back to growing up in Florida, finding the love of his life, beginning his career as an air traffic controller, serving his country, and eventually taking the leap into entrepreneurship. He shares how he built his first businesses, why he believes America needs more entrepreneurs, and the mindset that's driven his desire to win throughout his life. Then comes a story you have to hear to believe. Steve recounts a medical emergency in which he says he had no heartbeat for approximately 25 minutes. He describes what he experienced during those moments, including what he believes was an encounter with Jesus at the gates of the Kingdom of God, and how returning from that experience completely changed his perspective on life. Steve also opens up about becoming a father and shares advice for new dads, reveals the biggest regret of his life and the lesson he hopes others can learn from it, and explains why building businesses and creating opportunities remain so important to him. From military service and the American entrepreneurial spirit to fatherhood, faith, and an extraordinary second chance, this is one of the most unique stories we've ever heard on Like A Farmer.
