Show Notes
In this powerful episode of The Amazing Authorities Podcast, host Mitch Carson welcomes marketing strategist, Marine veteran, and miracle survivor Craig Andrews. After slipping into a six-week coma from COVID and waking up unable to move or speak, Craig shares the deeply human story of his recovery—and the unexpected clarity it brought to his business, relationships, and purpose.
Craig reveals how nearly dying reshaped his worldview and led to a profound realization: the strength of your systems and support network will be tested when you're gone. Not only did his team keep his business running, but Craig came back with an even sharper strategy to help others thrive—especially in crowded, competitive markets.
You’ll hear:
The emotional truth about who really shows up when you're near death
How Craig’s team ran his business while he was in a coma—and tripled client revenue
The power of "First-Time Offers" and why they’re critical in high-trust sales
Why trust is built by how you make someone feel, not just what you say
How Craig helps experts stand out when their services sound like everyone else's
If you’ve ever faced a moment that forced you to re-evaluate everything—or you want to build a brand and offer that truly connects—this episode will stay with you.
