Mike woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and his eyes were glowing yellow. In that moment,

Jersey Mike knew he was dying, and instead of calling for help, he grabbed a drink. This is one of the

most powerful conversations I've had on the podcast yet. Mike rode the train to the last stop,

liver failure, a coma, losing himself completely, and somehow found his way back, not just to survive, but to live.

Although Mike got off at the last stop, he shares his story so you don't have to.

And this is me catching up with Jersey Mike on the Suburmotivation podcast.

Welcome back to another episode.

Today we got Jersey Mike who's going to share with us his experience of going through liver failure.

How you doing, Mike?

I'm doing great, Brad.

Thank you for having me back on, man.

Yeah.

I mean, every time something is posted about liver failure, whether it be on something that I put

together or one of my guests or I see out there, it seems to get a lot of traction.

And with your personal experience, I definitely wanted to bring you, you know, back on the show, back on the podcast

to talk about what that was like for you. Walk us a little bit through this story, too.

And what are some of the early warning signs and what was it all like for you?

One of the earliest warning signs? And what was it all like for you? One of the earliest warning signs for me was my face getting flushed, like, red, at some point,

probably like 2015, 16. And I would say that early, almost like five, six years

before my liver failure had actually occurred. I would turn all red when I was drinking

periodically. It wouldn't happen all the time. And I would feel like my face getting hot. It

would be like a flushed feeling.
