Pacemaker Heart of a Champion - Chené Micah Williams

At 16, doctors told Chené Micah Williams he’d never live a normal life again.

Three knee surgeries. A lifelong pacemaker. Every reason to stop.

Instead, he turned pain into purpose — becoming Pacemaker Shane, a fitness trainer and heart-health advocate who inspires thousands.

In this episode, Chené breaks down how he:

• Survived open-heart surgery and learned to live with a pacemaker

• Faced three major knee operations before he was 25

• Battled depression, doubt, and identity loss after his diagnosis

• Rebuilt his body and mindset through training and faith

• Founded the Pacemaker brand — a movement for resilience and awareness

• Found purpose in helping others rebuild confidence through health and discipline

• Redefined what “strength” truly means when your heart is literally wired to survive

If you’ve ever faced setbacks, health battles, or the feeling that life’s odds are stacked against you — this episode will hit home.
