Amir Bormand is the Co-founder of Elevano, a candidate-centric technical recruitment company. On this episode, Amir and I talk about how he quit his job to start Elevano right when he got married, and how his wife\\u2019s support and belief in his abilities were critical to the success of his business.

Most of our conversation, however, focuses on the aftermath of a near death experience that Amir had at the age of 17. This experience had a lasting impact on Amir\\u2019s life, as he struggled for many years to deal with the trauma and the meaning of being alive against the odds. He explains how both his wife and a therapist helped him let go of the trauma and shift his mindset away from thinking \\u201cwhat if.\\u201d\\xa0Then, through a strange coincidence, he shares how his trauma and recovery prepared him to support his wife through her own crisis. \\xa0
