Meet Danny

Danny Bader grew up in a loving, middle-class family and, up until the age of 28, his was an easy life without struggle. This changed when Danny was finishing up one of his final days working as a roofer before getting ready to return to Aspen, Colorado to pursue a real estate career. This plan vanished at 4:00 pm that day as he and his friend and co-worker lowered a metal ladder into an electric line carrying 8,000 volts. Danny and his friend died that day…only Danny came back to life.

Danny made it through the dark years that followed with the support of many and has since devoted his life to supporting others on this wonderful journey of life. His first book, a best-seller titled Back to Life, is based on his story of resilience after the accident.

In his talks and workshops Danny encourages you to pursue only two things in life—Fulfillment & Resilience. He walks you through his Back to Life Blueprint®—a model of 5 powerful human principles which Danny attributes to creating more fulfillment and resilience in your life and the lives of those you love and lead.

After his accident, Danny realized and wrestled with the fact he was just living—he was just going “through the motions” of life, he was not fully alive. Danny believes you grow out of either curiosity or tragedy. He encourages you not to wait for tragedy; rather be curious about your approach to being fully alive and invites you to begin to experiment with some or all of his Back to Life® principles.

“Each day you wake up, you come back to life. You’re wise to continually ask and answer these two questions: What are you creating in your own life, in your teams, your family? And second, How are you going about this? This HOW is built on the principles that you practice daily. I’ve also come to the powerful conviction that there is a helluva difference between just living and being alive.” - Danny Bader
