The Stroke That Saved My Life: How KB Turned Rock Bottom Into a Mission of Healing and Success

NATIONWIDE - NOVEMBER 2025 - (USAnews.com) At 35, KB faced a life-altering moment that would forever change his path. A stroke left him unable to walk, talk, or care for his young daughters. The man who once took life for granted now found himself fighting for it. His body was broken, but his spirit was unshaken. This was the pivotal moment that set in motion a transformation not only of his body but also of his heart, mind, and mission. From that near-death experience, KB rose, rebuilt, and forged two successful brands, NUR Medspa & Wellness and Stroke of Success, dedicated to healing, wellness, and helping others rewrite their stories of struggle into triumph.

The Genesis of a New Life

Before the stroke, KB's life was shaped by the chaos of childhood adversity and the struggles that came with it. Addiction, abandonment, and countless setbacks marked his early years. But it was the stroke, the event that left him fighting for his life, that ignited a new chapter. In the blink of an eye, his world came crashing down. Yet, from the ashes of this tragedy, KB discovered his true calling.

“I built NUR from the same place I rebuilt myself,  from the inside out,” he says. This brand, NUR Medspa & Wellness, was born from his own journey of healing and self-discovery. The focus is on regenerative wellness and transformative aesthetics, offering clients the chance to rejuvenate their bodies and minds.

Founded with his wife, Dr. Saima, NUR Medspa & Wellness provides cutting-edge treatments that focus on long-term well-being, not just temporary fixes. The couple’s personal commitment to wellness fuels every aspect of their work. As KB puts it, “My stroke didn’t end my life, it gave me a new one.”

From Survivor to Entrepreneur

KB’s journey didn’t stop at recovery. His ability to turn adversity into opportunity led to the creation of Stroke of Success, a podcast and entrepreneurial movement that has become a beacon for those seeking to turn their setbacks into superpowers. The platform brings together world-class leaders, visionaries, and everyday people who share stories of resilience and reinvention.

In the Stroke of Success podcast, KB interviews top athletes, entrepreneurs, and movie stars, people who, like him, have overcome tremendous challenges. Each story serves as a reminder that failure is not final and that anyone, regardless of their past, can find strength in their journey.

What Makes KB’s Brands Different

What sets KB apart from other entrepreneurs is the authenticity rooted in his lived experiences. Unlike most CEOs who teach from theory, KB speaks from the heart and from personal transformation. His brands are built on the foundation of real struggle and real healing.

“What makes me different is that everything I teach, mindset, wellness, storytelling, business, is backed by lived experience, not theory,” he explains. “NUR Medspa & Wellness isn’t just a cosmetic clinic; it’s a transformation brand built from a real healing journey.”

This approach resonates deeply with clients at NUR, where they don’t just come for aesthetic treatments, they come for a complete transformation, both inside and out. The medspa’s unique focus on regenerative wellness allows clients to tap into the science of healing, rejuvenating their bodies at the cellular level. The combination of medical excellence and mindset-driven care ensures that clients not only look better but feel better in the long run.

On the other side, Stroke of Success stands out as a movement, not just a podcast. While many competitors in the podcasting world focus on strategy and tactics, KB’s platform focuses on the human experience, the pain, resilience, and ultimate reinvention of the people he interviews.

“Pain is not meant to punish you. It’s meant to introduce you to who you really are,” KB says, a lesson he learned through his own stroke recovery. It’s this deeply human approach that has made his work resonate with thousands of listeners and followers.

A Story of Impact

KB’s story is not just one of survival but of thriving after adversity. As a speaker, podcaster, and author-in-progress, he continues to inspire and uplift others who are facing their own struggles. His two brands, NUR Medspa & Wellness and Stroke of Success, embody his belief that every setback has the potential to become a powerful comeback.

“At 35, I couldn’t walk or talk. But I found my strength, rebuilt my life, and now I’m helping others do the same,” KB shares. “When you lose your ability to speak and walk, you learn what truly matters.”

Through his businesses, his podcast, and his personal story, KB is living proof that no matter how dark life gets, the human spirit can always rise. His journey shows us that healing doesn’t just happen in the body, it happens in the mind and soul, too. And it’s from this holistic understanding of health and wellness that he’s helping others rise, transform, and thrive.
