He Died & Came Back to Life: Troy Hall on Overcoming Freak Electrocution Accident

He died. He caught fire. He came back stronger.

Troy Hall was electrocuted by a 110,000-volt power line while working with his dad on an avocado orchard. He flatlined, was revived by a second shock that engulfed him in flames, and was told he'd never walk or talk again. But 14 years later, he's not only walking - he's using his story to inspire others.

In this episode of The Dom Harvey Podcast, Troy shares the full story: from gang life and addiction, to the accident that changed everything, to his mental health battles and finding purpose through his daughter, public speaking, and gratitude.
