Welcome to the Tin Man Jack Podcast!
Tin Man Jack is a heartfelt podcast where survivors of the harrowing Widowmaker heart attack share their experiences, resilience, and renewed purposes.
You’re on a bridge between a terrible day and the day that you’re going to die. Neither is important. Today matters more!
—Jack Hatley
I survived the Widowmaker Heart Attack
Suffering an unexpected heart attack or other potentially life-threatening event can turn your life upside down. The day after I turned 37 years old, I experienced a widowmaker heart attack that I was fortunate enough to survive.
The road to full physical recovery was a bit of a challenge, but the most difficult part was the mental and emotional toll that it took on me.
Many sleepless nights followed as I constantly replayed the details in my mind over and over again. Was this going to happen again? If so, would I be as lucky the next time?
My aim is to make this podcast a resource that I wish I would’ve had. Through my own personal experience of having a heart attack at a young age and by way of the stories of other people who have had a life-altering experience, we can create something that will help people to realize that you can get your life back, and oftentimes with more purpose and drive than before.
You’re on a bridge between a terrible day and the day that you’re going to die. Neither is important. Today matters more!
