## Resource

Episode Description Gregory Jesse Halpern joins Georgette Beck on the Junk to Jewels™ Podcast for one of the most extraordinary conversations the show has ever featured. Known by many as the “13 Lives Renaissance Man,” Greg has survived thirteen documented near-death experiences — beginning at age five — and emerged from each one with a radically transformed understanding of purpose, suffering, and the human spirit. In this conversation, Greg walks Georgette through his very first crossing as a child, the 2005 chlorine-gas incident that unlocked over 3,000 principles of universal wisdom in three days, and the mentors — Zig Ziglar, Earl Nightingale, and W. Clement Stone — who shaped how he processed it all. He shares the four pillars of his Formula 4 Protocol (health, happiness, abundance, and purpose), the practice of “positive affirmative” thinking, and how his story of brokenness became a lifelong mission of helping “the little guy” overcome impossible odds. The conversation closes with Georgette's signature questions — covering favorite books, scripture, mentors, and music — and a look ahead to Greg's upcoming 13 Lives series.
