Lori La Bey talks with Dan Cohen, a dynamic entrepreneur with over twenty-five years of experience and a deep passion for brand building. Dan is recognized for his strategic approach and ability to foster strong, lasting relationships. With the release of his book, Awakenings In Real Life, he tells the story of his dad’s awakening from his dementia. When his father awoke, it woke Dan up too. Dan also hosts a podcast with the same name.

After Dan’s family experienced his dad’s awakening from dementia in 2015, Dan felt that he had to share this experience with the world. Dan quickly posted an article that has been read by hundreds of thousands of families and caregivers who were dealing with Alzheimer’s / Dementia and searching for hope. Dan’s father passed away in 2016, but his awakening stayed with him. It became the spark that ignited his own awakening, which turned into the book “Awakenings In Real Life”. In the book, Dan draws on a lifetime of lessons from his father’s humor, toughness, and compassion, sharing family stories of love, inspiration, and hope.

Dan started the “Awakenings In Real Life” podcast, which tells inspiring stories of transformation, meaning, and hope. While people typically think of an Awakening as a “Getting Up” or “Spiritual” or “Religious” in nature, an “Awakening” is also an awareness, recognition, or realization of something. Dan Cohen shares stories of people awakening and then triumphing over bullying, addiction, disability, illness, trauma, loss, near-death experiences, and more.
