"You’ve got 20 years to live."

That’s what Brad was told after major pancreatic surgery. But instead of giving up, he chose to live—with intention, grit, and his own version of hope.

In this deeply personal conversation, Brad shares his MEN1 journey from childhood diagnosis through multiple surgeries, isolation, and unexpected setbacks. With honesty and warmth, he opens up about how he rebuilt his life—mentally, emotionally, and practically—after being told that work might never be possible again.

This episode is for anyone navigating MEN1 or a long-term health condition… especially those wondering if things can get better. Brad’s story reminds us that they can—and often in ways we don’t expect.

In this episode:

• How Brad defied the odds after a devastating prognosis
• The hidden emotional cost of living with MEN1
• Why trusting yourself can change the entire course of your health journey
• What helped Brad stay grounded through life-altering challenges
• The quiet power of resilience, even when you feel like giving up
