A Second Chance at Life and the Mission to Teach CPR, Meet Ed Kosiec

I Love Palm Beach

Imagine collapsing during a quick lunch run, your heart suddenly betraying you. That's exactly what happened to Ed Kosiec, whose story of survival is nothing short of miraculous, thanks to the quick actions of a CPR-trained high school student. Ed joins us to recount his life-altering experience and how it led him to launch Every Second Counts CPR, his non-profit aimed at spreading the gospel of this essential skill. He breaks down CPR myths with the finesse of a seasoned educator and passionately argues for mandatory CPR training, all in a bid to turn everyday folks into potential heroes. Moreover, Ed's tale isn't just about survival; it's a call to action—a reminder of the power of presence and preparedness in the face of heart-stopping moments.
As we bask in the warmth of South Florida, where the sun kisses the horizon and shorts are year-round attire, we delve into the region's charm beyond the cliché of tourist traps. From the picturesque lighthouse at Jupiter Beach to the vibrant growth of the Palm Beach community, there's an unmistakable pulse here—one that beats to the rhythm of "Staying Alive," quite literally. We extend an olive branch to our listeners, inviting you to join in the lifesaving skill by enrolling in a local CPR class. It's not just about sunny days and balmy nights; it's about equipping yourselves with the knowledge to keep those days coming for someone else. So, sunscreen in one hand and a sense of purpose in the other, let’s embrace the beauty of life in all its facets.
