Getting Back Up: Finding Life After Death (Season 1)

Episode 1: What Is the Getting Back Up Podcast? Meet David & Jamal

This is Getting Back Up: Finding Life After Death. We kick things off sharing how we met, why we started this podcast, and why every man needs a crew when life gets heavy. Brotherhood, honesty, and healing—it all starts here.

Getting Back Up: Finding Life After Death is a podcast that explores the raw, unfiltered reality of surviving profound personal loss—and finding a way forward. The idea for the podcast was born after David and Jamal met in 2023. Both widowers, who had lost their wives to cancer, quickly found a deep connection through multiple conversations about pain, perseverance, and parenthood. They realized that while men often bond over music, sports, or TV, they rarely speak candidly about loss or emotional recovery. Getting Back Up was created to change that narrative—blending the everyday with the existential in a format that’s as relatable as it is real.

Thank you for your support!
