It started with that second accident. I burned my face very bad. We were working in an underground vault and we made some switching errors and I ended up blowing myself up. Essentially it crossed phase 4,800 volts of electricity and it was 4,500 volt amps of current and I was in a ball of flame for two full seconds. I thought I was dead and those two seconds that it was going off, our time slowed down immensely and it was in the hospital. It was in the hospital. I was in the hospital for 10 days in ICU in the burn ward and it was those lonesome times. It was during COVID. The accident was April 27, 2021. So I didn't really have much visitors until the evening. So it was a lot of reflection, a lot of self-doubt and a lot of guilt. I held a lot of guilt because my other partner got burned also and it was during that time of healing physically that I truly learned how to heal myself mentally.
Speaker 2:You know, all of us are gonna have a vice or two from one degree or another. But depending on how deep these vices go, they can and will take over our lives, and it can be incredibly challenging to break free from them. Some do, while many don't. Now, what if you're on top of that and then life throws you not one, but two glimpses at dying? You know, the mental fortitude to change your life gets real compelling, doesn't it? And today we're gonna hear just about how my guest turned his life around. Now, before we get into all that, I just wanna remind you if you're interested in raising your standards as a father, a husband and an entrepreneur, then I encourage you to start your Hero's Quest. This is our 90-day program, where you will ultimately accomplish more, develop more and become more in the next 90 days and you never have in your life. You can get more information about this at the Awakenman Training Academy at membersthewakenmannet. And with that, let's get on with today's episode.
Speaker 3:The average man today is sleepwalking through life, many never reaching their true potential, let alone ever crossing the finish line to living a purposeful life. Yet the hunger still exists, albeit buried amidst his cluttered mind, misguided beliefs and values that no longer serve him. It's time to align yourself for greatness. It's time to become a revolutionary man. Stay strong, my brother.
Speaker 2:Welcome everyone to the Revolutionary man Podcast. I'm the founder of the Awakenman Movement and your host, Alan D'Amonso, so let me ask you, what vices or vices do you have in your life and how much do they impact your daily life? You know, breaking free from our vices can be a life-changing event for us, and while we work towards fighting the demons at once controlled us, there's still opportunities for us to learn even more about ourselves. Allow me to introduce my special guest today, Daniel Spencer. Daniel's been through hell and back and living a sober life for over 12 years now, starting in his teens. He's abused marijuana and alcohol right through to his late 20s, and while carrying almost 300 pounds of weight on top of that. Now Daniel is also a survivor of two electrical accidents that almost killed him. Today he's been married for almost 20 years, has three kids, one that's been adopted, and he's just more than about to share his entire story and what we can do to change our lives around. Welcome to the show, Daniel. How Are Things, brother?
Speaker 1:Bless every day. How about you?
Speaker 2:Same thing here, man, same thing here. Great to hear. Well, as you know, in our work here at the Awaken man, we always talk about everyone being on a hero's quest, and while I've revealed some of your story to our listeners here today, I just want to dive a little bit deeper into that aspect of it and tell us a little bit more about what inspired you to pursue the life you're living today, how that experience shaped you into the man you are and the work that you're doing.
Speaker 1:Absolutely Like you mentioned. It started with that second accident. I burned my face very bad. We were working in an underground vault and we made some switching errors and I ended up blowing myself up. Essentially, it crossed phase 4,800 volts of electricity and it was 4,500 volt amps of current and I was in a ball of flame for two full seconds. The circuit breaker we were working on failed and it took a little bit more time for the high-side breaker to open up. And finally, after the noise ended and the white light turned off for a quick second that I thought I was dead and those two seconds that it was going off, time slowed down immensely and I was thinking all these things in my head like, hey, I thought we were supposed to have some protection, why aren't you dropping down? And then, ultimately, I had this thought like you're probably gonna die here.
Speaker 1:And then it stopped and it was in the hospital. It was in the hospital. It was in the hospital for 10 days in ICU in the Bermdward, and it was those lonesome times. It was during COVID. The accident was April 27, 2021. So I didn't really have much visitors until the evening. So it was a lot of reflection, a lot of self-doubt and a lot of guilt. I held a lot of guilt because my other partner got burned also, and it was during that time of healing physically that I truly learned how to heal myself mentally.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I got it yeah go ahead.
Speaker 2:I was just. I was just making a note here. I just thought I was just wondering you know what it must have been like to, what it must have felt like to have to. You know, have that thought that you know, here's what, what did you put it? What's that moment going to feel like? When you felt like this is going to you're going to possibly die, is what I wrote down. I just thought that must have it. Did it feel like it was lasting a lifetime? How did like? How did that that moment feel for you?
Speaker 1:I was scared. You know I was scared. It was because, up to that point, right before, I had told him to close the switch in. You know, you have that conscious voice in your head that tells you the difference between why I'm right and wrong and we weren't following our work procedure the right way, we weren't communicating at all. And the voice popped in my head and said hey, why don't you call for your toolbox? And you can stand on that and you'll be in the right position. But I let my ego take over. I let my ego, I said in my head you've done this before. You know this isn't your first time doing it, you know what you're doing, but ultimately I paid the price. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and thankfully you didn't pay the ultimate price because it gave you an opportunity, as you said. You know, with all that time, you know recovering in the hospital, giving your opportunity to really reflect and and think about life, and so what were some of the things that you were thinking at that time that started to shift the perspective, as you talk a lot about mindset and your work and just want to touch on that for a bit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the shift started. It started. I think it was my second night in the hospital. I had called one of the other crew members that was there and asked him how everybody was doing, you know, because I was still concerned for my brothers at the yard, everybody else still had to go do the continue to do the work. And he said, you know, everybody's kind of bummed out, but everybody's sense of awareness and safety is back up. Yeah, so I was trying to find the silver lining in it. And when I got back to work five months later and what?
Speaker 1:Even during that time in the hospital I shared my story. I was taking pictures the whole time. As soon as I climbed out of the hole I sat on the bumper. I was taking pictures. I was taking pictures in the hospital when they had peeled the burnt skin off my face. Right after my first surgery. I woke up from my first surgery, my first skin graft surgery. I took a photo. Everything was bandaged up. I took a photo and it took the bandages off. I was taking photos along the whole way and I shared a couple of those photos from like the first week while I was still in the hospital on Instagram and then some other line Instagram pages. They reposted it.
Speaker 1:So I was getting messages, you know, dms, well wishes, questions. You know, what kind of PPE were you wearing, what was the voltage, what type of switch, and that's kind of when I realized that you know you have to share this because we have accidents, small little incidences that happen and, you know, nobody gets hurt, nothing gets, you know, blown out of hand, but this one was. It was. I couldn't hide it, you know, I couldn't keep it a secret, I wore it on my face, essentially. So, sharing that, sharing the incident and having everybody from the industry ask questions, you know it was like I'm going to help a bunch of people, you know, because I had a balaclava face mask that I could have worn. It was in my truck, but again, my ego told me, you know, you don't need to wear it. So even I was getting messages from people saying, hey, you know what, thanks for sharing that. I have one in my truck, I'm going to wear that one. I switch or I might not be, you know, following all the safety rules all the time, and now I'm going to thank you, and that kind of really brought my spirits up a whole lot, shifting my perception on the type of worker I am, the type of type of man I am.
Speaker 1:You know, my first accident that I had that was, believe it was 2011. It was the same thing. We were working some temporary 2700 volts and the connection that they were going to use. I was like it doesn't sound like a good idea the way they're doing it. But I never spoke out on it again.
Speaker 1:I think at that point it was probably just because I was still an apprentice, I was fairly new into actually doing, you know, live work and and back then I was drinking a whole lot and ultimately, the thought that I had about the connection is why me and another partner ended up getting burned, you know. And back then I, right when I got home, I just started drinking again. You know, I didn't know how to handle it back then. But you know, in the second accident I had been sober just over 10 years. So that wasn't an option for me anymore. You know, I already knew in my head we can't go there, right. So I tried working it out. I mean, I was already into fitness for about three years, so the moment I could, I would, you know, just deal in with the pain emotionally and you know, internally I would just try and lift weights more. But I would have nightmares and then I started seeking therapy and that helped a whole lot.
Speaker 1:And I bet that helped that.
Speaker 2:Absolutely, daniel. I just a couple notes here. I just made that. This wrote down here.
Speaker 2:First off, just just the whole sense of brotherhood, when you started posting that on on Instagram and I don't think, I don't know, I won't put words in your mouth but the first thought that went through my mind is that do we even recognize the depth of the brotherhood in the work and the things that we choose to do in our lives and how we can affect so many people and something like this happens?
Speaker 2:And I think you know commit no kudos to you for having the guts to put to post that and and and and to show it to the world.
Speaker 2:I've seen your, your Instagram feed and I just want to say that you know, when you look and doing it, coming from the, from such a great place that that you did that in terms of giving opportunity for people to, to learn right and and who among us has not, has not done stuff and not fall at all the steps and whatever it is that we're work, we're doing, and I, you know I raised my hand here and just go.
Speaker 2:How many times have I, you know, climb, been on the roof and and and had a ladder not properly secured and and habits. You know wobble, I don't have proper tethering, like lots of stuff that we just do in our lives and we just take some. We take some things for granted and it takes life altering occurrence for us to stop to think about. You know what's truly important, because, had had the ultimate outcome come for you, you know now there'd be, now you'd there'd be a widow and children that have to there would need to be looked after as well. And so how did, how did this last accident impact your wife and your kids?
Speaker 1:It was rough. It was very rough because it my wife tells me she's like after the first one she didn't want me to go back to work, and even more so after this one. You know my my injuries were, were far more, they were worse. You know my injuries were worse this time and she's like Well, what are you going to do? I said I don't know anything else.
Speaker 1:So the whole time I'm off, I'm thinking, you know, I'm still scared to go back to work. You know, because you know we hear stories of the things just blowing up randomly, and so I'm off, I'm contemplating what are you going to do? You know, is there another way that's going to, it's going to sustain your lifestyle without having to put yourself in this, in this danger anymore? Yeah, but essentially I just went back and you know, I think for her and the kids, maybe my kids kind of hit it, hit their emotions or their fear quite a bit, but my wife's been always been really open and once I started therapy and you know it helped me communicate a whole lot more. Yeah, I was able to communicate with her better about, you know, what I learned and my progress going forward and speaking about it a whole lot with the safety section. I would go to a bunch of the safety meetings to speak at the presentations.
Speaker 1:Yeah for my accident and after a while I was thinking you know you can't, you can't stop talking about it Because I think it reminds me every day. You know I have some scars on my face that you know, every time I get up and brush my teeth, you know I think about it and the more I think about it, you know I always say holding on to your past is going to reach stop you from reaching your future. But you know we should never forget it. No, you know, because it's always something great to learn from 100%, absolutely.
Speaker 2:It can be the, it can be the teacher for us, right? And and what's so powerful about listening to you tell your story and reading about it is that you have such strength, and we talked about getting just getting on to the call today. Was you know really about that? I really resonate with me that you have this real stoic ability really to base what's difficult right in front of you and be able to move forward with it. And I think you know kudos to you and I talked about in the opening monologue about all of us having vices, and so let's go back a little bit and you had you had to fight through those as well, or earlier on in your life as well, so it's been the hardest part for you right now in dealing and staying sober and managing your sobriety the hardest part, I don't know, maybe just being around family members or seeing people talking to people that say they want to change.
Speaker 1:You know they say they want to give it up and I tell them you just need something to replace that habit. It's not doing you any good. It's gonna break your family apart. I mean, for me it's not even a thought anymore. I came to terms with what it was gonna do to my family. It almost split my family up. My wife was getting ready to leave me the night I quit drinking. I drove home drunk with my kids in the backseat and you know I told myself you can never put yourself or you're I mean not myself my kids in harm's way. I never want them to see me drinking and knowing that they see dad's okay when he drinks, or he still goes to work every day and he comes home drunk. Yeah, you know, maybe it's okay for me to do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no kidding, and you know what a different. You know changing that perspective for your children as well, right, because what are the stories that they're telling themselves? And so for you to have that insight and to consider having to change that and thankfully, you know, your wife decided to hang around just long enough to see this transformation that you've done and it's just so cool. I really like how you also said you just you need to find something to replace that habit, and I think we all have things in our life. You know, for me, I've been, I was a chef for a number of years in my career, so I just love food and it's my, it's my thing. When I feel stress and there's like too much stress, then I tend to fall towards well, I'm gonna go and raid the fridge and eat more than I should, and so it's. We all have our things right. And when we can consider because there's something that I can do to replace that habit what's a health, more healthier way to move ourselves forward, and you're showing that, you know, in spades.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for me it's turning to physical activity.
Speaker 2:Right on.
Speaker 1:That helped me when I was feeling down, when I was off, like I said, when I was off at work and now, if something I feel is gonna it's gonna set me off, I try and release that negative energy in a positive way, and that's usually some push-ups or some pull-ups, something that I don't really need equipment with, you know, 50 burpees, when I feel the tension between me and my wife is gonna start kind of boiling over. I take a breath and I said, you know, let me just I'll be back and I'll go to a different room and do some push-ups and and for me it's physical activity, it's pushing your body through that pain, because we don't want to hold on to that pain and you know, working through that in a positive way is the best action.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely so. So that's now we're talking about your physical fitness program and you do, and that's a big part of your life. How did that come about? Because you know in the, in the introduction there we talked about, at one point you were 300 pounds. So what was happening in that time of your life? When you recognize that that was another, that was another area that you needed to change. How did that transformation occur?
Speaker 1:That started when I quit drinking. Actually, I actually, about two years ago, I kind of tallied up how much I was drinking per day and I was drinking well over 1500 calories alone. So it was when I quit drinking. I changed my, my, my eating, because I'd wake up with a hangover and even at night, you know, I'd be drunk and go get some tacos or burritos or something like that. My wife would constantly tell me Daniel, you wake up not breathing, like you wake up with no breath. You know, I'm like sleep apnea, I have constant heartburn. So once I quit drinking, I lost 60 pounds without exercising, just changing my diet. But the diet was not sustainable, right, it was a fat diet and one of my friends one of my best friends had joined a boot camp and he lost over 100 pounds and that was inspiring to me, right, I was, like you know, at this point I was 260 pounds and I said I'm still not happy with you. Know one, the way I look and the way you perceive yourself is the way you're going to feel. Right, the way you feel is the way you're gonna look. So me and my wife joined that boot camp and I lost about 75 pounds and that was my new addiction, you know. Like I said, replacing that negative one with the positive one is the best thing.
Speaker 1:And when I had my accident my second accident I still I couldn't really work out because all these bandages on my face. I wouldn't even go to the store, you know, because of the embarrassment that I was wearing. So I would get up early and run. I would go on runs like at four in the morning and once the bandages came off and I felt like I was confident enough to go out, I joined the gym again. I went to the same gym that I went to and still ate. I wasn't my meals and my nutrition wasn't on point, but I never missed the day of workouts. And me and my wife went to a music festival and I was getting a bunch of compliments and you know I side-eyed looks, you know good ones. It boosted my confidence way up.
Speaker 1:And finally, there was this life coach that had been following on YouTube and Instagram and I reposted one of his stories and he sends me a message and he says hey, man, let's get you on a team. And I said, absolutely so. He sends me his program and it was just to be a client of his and I said I know how to work out, I know how to you know meal prep and meal plan. I want to help people the way you helped me, because I had been watching these videos and they're really hardcore, really. You know calling yourself out on your flaws, holding yourself accountable for every action that you regret. I said you know what, man, I want to help people the way you helped me get through these bad times. The way you inspired me is how I want to inspire other people.
Speaker 1:So I joined his coaching program and that was a whole different game changer learning how to count macros instead of just, you know, grounds of protein. I got really lean, I got shredded and my confidence went way up again. And during our first meeting he said you know, I'm telling him it's basically like a Zoom meeting and telling him my story and he says, man, you have a hell of a story. You know, you've overcome quite a bit and there's people that need to hear it. So I had already had my Instagram page, but then he was telling me, he was explaining to me how to share my story and how to resonate with people, and ever since then I've been helping many people you know, not clients alone, but just other, you know people sending me messages. Hey, man, I, you know I appreciate you.
Speaker 1:You know consistently getting up every morning and consistently posting a workout in your foods. You know I have probably about 15 clients right now and they're, you know, dropping bad vices, they're gaining confidence, you know, self-esteem. I have one client who's been sober almost six months since he joined this program, which is, you know, to me. That really touches me personally, sure, and that even just other people saying hey, man, you know, I've lost 20, 25 pounds just taking your advice. You know, eating different, taking my food to work instead of buying out every day, that's really, it really fills my soul.
Speaker 1:You know, like I used to always take so much, be selfish with what I wanted, and that's why I say now, you know, I take care of myself in the morning from 3 am to 6 am. That's my time. You know that's my time. Everything else I do after that, even during that time, it's for everybody else, you know, because I record every step of the way. Yeah, and try to set the example. You know we all say we don't ever have time. You just don't make the time.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Right, you just don't make the time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely, you're absolutely right and that makes so much sense. Right, because we think that our time, the time that we have, is our block of time that we give ourselves every day. We don't think about how we can reshape that and make room for the things that are truly important in our life, and so you start talking about you know, some coaching clients, and that's really what I wanted to get into. Next, tell us a little bit about the coaching work that you do and the program and how that's transforming your life and others.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I say you know I'm not certified in nutrition or I don't have a certificate saying I'm a certified trainer. I call myself a life coach. You know I've overcome certain things that a lot of people in my trade and my line of work deal with daily, even people that aren't in my line of work. So I say you know it starts with the mindset. You know you have to want, really want to make the changes. You know, when you look at yourself in the mirror or you reflect back on some of the actions that you took in, if you're not happy with them, that's what you need to change. Right, as soon as you feel regret for what you did, whether if it's you know you ate too much at a buffet or you know you're treating people on the freeway. You know the wrong way of cutting people off. You know you can always turn it around. You know helping yourself or is the first way to do it and then helping other people, right, yeah, it's going to fulfill you Absolutely, absolutely, I was going to say.
Speaker 2:Also, I was, as I was, you know, creeping your socials and having a look at stuff, and that I noticed that one of the things that also helps you with your transformation and physical fitness you were talking about nutrition is that you use some first form products. How have those helped that benefited your nutrition and in the work you're doing?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I joined first form in November and they've been really educating me about supplements and using quite a bit of their products now and I've gained some good size, some good lean muscle. Andy Fercella is, you know. He tells it like it is, which is exactly how I do it now. You know I was very reserved. I wouldn't speak up on things, I would just try and brush things off. And now, hey man, if I don't like it, I'm going to let you know. If I see you're not doing something right, I'm going to let you know. They're a great company to view it. I have a link to them on my Instagram page.
Speaker 1:But you know, one of my work truck was got. My work truck was stolen a while back ago and a bunch of my stuff was stolen Some of my personal items and they sent me a box of supplements and a personalized letter, bound journal and handwritten notes. Most companies might not care about something like that, right, but it really showed that how much they truly do care. I have a vitamin stack that I do post-workout stack. They coach me a lot about when to supplement and what to supplement with. People always ask me dude, when do you sleep? You know, because I go to bed at like 10 at night and I get up at three in the morning. When do you rest? I really don't. You know I don't. If there's work to do, I'm going to do it, but having the proper nutrition and proper supplements to help you recover faster, it's key.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely, it's all about that right. When you feed yourself with the proper fuel, then it's amazing how much more energy you have. Yeah, I'm not surprised at all to hear, to hear that you have that kind of energy and that kind of resilience. So at this point, you know you've been working. You know you've worked through a bunch of stuff and your marriage has really gone through a ton of stuff. What's been the hardest part for you guys being married and going through all of this that you have?
Speaker 1:I think the hardest part is it's probably my impatience.
Speaker 1:You know it's probably my impatience, my stubbornness, absolutely. My wife is one of the most patient people that I know. You know she says I tell her all the time, you know, actually I tell her you saved my life Because when we met I was 20 years old. I was not happy with myself At that point. I was. I was then, you know, but I was. I was in a relationship that I thought I was in love. I wasn't. And she came in. I met her at work and I never wanted to leave her side since then and her resilience is actually way more, it's way stronger than mine. But I think for the biggest trouble is is my stubbornness. You know my impatience. I'm very impatient sometimes and sometimes I speak out of turn. You know. That's why they say you have two ears and one mouth, so you can listen more than you talk.
Speaker 2:Absolutely, brother, absolutely Well. Kudos to you for recognizing that, because there's lots of us in relationships and when we think about them we're having troubles. We're not always able to pinpoint our part of it, and when we do, you know it helps. It helps us understand what's going on, and our wives are just are just perfect mirrors, in my opinion. I think you know, my wife always is able to, to show me where I need to be better, how I can show up better, and then I think that's a gift and when we see it that way, we truly put the work, and then it's amazing how the relationship changes and sounds like you guys have got that down as a, as a, as a great tool for yourselves. That's awesome. Go ahead, yeah.
Speaker 1:We, you know we, we've gotten to counseling before, you know we've, we've done it before and it helps, you know, but actually practicing what you learn is is the best way to get through it. You know, being open, being being vulnerable, I wasn't never vulnerable. I would never speak up, you know, or not even speak up, but just tell her how I feel. You know, and I said ever since, ever since my accident and you had asked, you know, kind of the resiliency is, like you know, a huge part of my ego, all of my ego. I say my, my ego burned up and it died in that, in that ball of fire, and I just learned to become more vulnerable because of the injuries I sustained and the openness that I was with it.
Speaker 2:I'm an absolutely what a powerful, what a powerful line there and the ego was burned through that fire. And I think, you know, we don't. We can all think of, if we can just think back to the times in our lives where we were in the fire and could we allow ourselves to, to just burn away that ego part of us that doesn't allow us to be vulnerable, doesn't allow us to to show up and then see the difference that happens, the growth Cause, really, after that. You know, I grew up in the in the prairies, and so there was lots of times in the prayers where we would burn, stubble.
Speaker 2:Why you do that is about returning different nutrients back to the soil so that you can have a have more, more sustaining crops for the future, and I think it's so important that that we recognize that and just love it. That was so, so beautiful, so beautifully put. You know, of everything that we've talked about, daniel, maybe there's something that we didn't get a chance to touch on. If there was one thing you'd want our listeners to take away from our conversation today, what would that?
Speaker 1:be. If you're having troubles, if you're having regrets in your actions, seek advice, seek, seek somebody that's done it, somebody that's been through it, somebody with the experience. Let that ego go and ask for help and ask for help. There's definitely lots of stories out there of people that have overcome the same thing you have.
Speaker 2:Yeah absolutely, and they don't know that until we share our story, and you've done that on your Instagram feed and I think that's so awesome, and you're doing that with your clients now, and so I just want to say thank you so much for for spending time with me today. Daniel, and I know we were able to show people that, no matter what happens in our life, that we can always recover if we've got the right mindset, and so if men are interested in getting a hold of you and get involved in your programs, like working, working with you as a coach what's the best way for them to get a hold of you?
Speaker 1:The best way would be Instagram. My Instagram handle is reps and double time. You can just search that. Or Daniel Spencer? I'm the dude with the hat and no shirt on Facebook. I'm on Facebook, daniel Spencer, and you know. If you need anything, man, I'm here for you. You know that's. That's what my true purpose is. You know, my uncle says you know you're here for a reason and and I found it. You know it's to share my story and help other people.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. Well, I'm going to make sure all that information is in the show notes today so folks get an opportunity to reach out to you. So I want to say once again, thank you so much, Daniel, your inspiration. Keep up the great work, my friend.
Speaker 1:Thank you.
