Cort Davies was diagnosed with malignant paraganglioma in November of 2017. He was given just three years to live. Instead of folding under the intense stress of having a late-stage cancer, Cort set out on a mission to save his own life.

After 7 surgeries, half of his bladder removed, and almost being paralyzed, Cort realized his biggest challenge was actually his greatest opportunity. He also realized that chronic stress was a major deterrent in healing for millions of cancer patients, including himself.

He has recently brought light to this subject in a Ted X Talk and launched a book and is in the midst of producing a cancer summit and multi part documentary to try to impact millions of cancer patients around the world by giving them the necessary tools to help them manage stress on their journey.
