What changes when you realize time isn’t guaranteed?

In this episode of Live Like it Matters, Elissa Kalver speaks with Sidney Raskind (Sidney Raz) about the life-shifting experience of being diagnosed with stomach cancer — and how it changed the way he approaches everyday life.

Known for sharing practical advice people wish they learned sooner, Sidney reflects on how those lessons took on a completely different meaning after his diagnosis.

This is a conversation about perspective, priorities, and learning how to live with more intention — not someday, but now.
