Cancer Update - All I Need is a Miracle
Episode 151
Wednesday, 28 October, 2026
Four weeks after CAR-T gene therapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Molly and I went back to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for the PET scan that would show whether it worked. Three months earlier, my first-line treatment had failed. This is what I found out when the results came back. — Guiding the conversation is my friend Shannon Jones, the titan of entrepreneurship, leadership development, and finance. Shannon teaches Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition at the University of Colorado Boulder's Leeds School of Business, and writes the TranscendenCEO newsletter. Thank you to everyone in this community who has reached out to provide positivity, prayers, encouragement, and support during this experience. — My consultancy, One Real Voice, helps industry leaders thrive in the unscripted, long-form conversations internal & external where reputations are built and business is won, like podcasts, town halls, investor meetings, fireside chats, and more.

Sunlighten: __https://www.sunlighten.com/__ — Thank you to Peloton of "come on Peloton, you got this" fame for following my cancer experience and surprising me with a Peloton Tread. Being able to go to the garage and move is huge for me, and Molly, especially on days when I'm too wiped to be able to take the dogs out. It's a next level treadmill and it takes me places.
