In this short, the speaker—a 33‑year‑old father of a young daughter living in California—shares his journey of confronting a cancer diagnosis while simultaneously scaling a multi‑seven‑figure business. He recounts his athletic background (college basketball, regular running), the shock of learning he had cancer, and the surreal feeling that the disease was both real and dream‑like. Over four years his condition progressed to stage 4. He describes key treatment decisions: an hour before starting immunotherapy he hesitated, later undergoing surgery and a strict two‑month diet, which resulted in a biopsy showing over a quarter of the tumor dead. He attributes this outcome to faith, thanking Jesus, and frames the experience as a warning of an inevitable “fire” that everyone must prepare for. The narrative intertwines his business growth, personal resilience, and spiritual perspective, concluding that awareness and preparation dramatically increase the odds of success in both health and entrepreneurship.

Chapters

We're going to talk a lot about what it means to not only battle cancer, but also build a multi-seven-figure business along the way. 33, I had one little girl at home. I was living in California, and I'm a healthy person. I, I played basketball my whole life, college basketball. I was running often. I was working, enjoying life, and I don't think anyone ever prepares themselves to have a cancer diagnosis. Not something you ever would assume. You hear about it and you know it's real, but it's not something that actually is real. And that was the toughest dynamic for me to figure out. It was like, this is real. It feels like I'm dreaming. What does it mean? Looking back, there's so many things I would have changed because fast forward 4 years after that, I came back as stage 4. An hour before I started immunotherapy, I was meeting with the oncologist and I looked at her and I was like, I think I'm going to put this off. My wife and I have been praying for months, give us peace. Fast forward 2 months, I had surgery and I was doing a diet for 2 months strict. The biopsy came back and a little over a quarter of the tumor was dead. I was like, "Thank you, Jesus." There's a fire that's coming for everyone. If you're aware there's a fire coming, you can prepare for that fire. And if you prepare, chances of success are a lot higher.
