Dennis Yu (speaker) recounts a story told by heart surgeon Dr. Ovadia about a middle-aged entrepreneur who suffered a fatal heart attack despite skilled care, emphasizing that busy entrepreneurs often neglect health and may not "budget time for a heart attack." Dennis contrasts that fate with his own near-miss/collapse (a different medical event) and frames the talk as a warning about health awareness for entrepreneurs.

Now, I didn't get a heart attack, right? I collapsed and this other thing happened, right?
