Stand with Stan: Rebounding Through Cancer & Life’s Hardest Hits
In this deeply moving episode of The Art of Rebounding, host Harold “Lefty” Williams sits down with his longtime friend and brother, Stan Zwicker — an engineer, environmental leader, cancer survivor, husband, father, and living example of resilience.
Stan’s journey spans generations:
• Growing up in Parkchester in the Bronx
• Playing street basketball under the lights
• Writing launch procedures for a spacecraft that landed on the moon
• Pivoting careers when aerospace declined
• Building a respected environmental career
• Facing bladder cancer at 80 years old
• Now supporting his wife through her own diagnosis
This episode is about rebounding — in the truest sense of the word.
From a fifth-grade coach teaching him to anticipate the ball…
To learning how to anticipate life’s setbacks…
Stan proves that rebounding isn’t just about basketball. It’s about positioning. It’s about attitude. It’s about never standing still when the shot goes up.
He shares:
- What it felt like to help launch a spacecraft before Apollo
- The moment he thought he wouldn’t see another holiday season
- How a support group changed his mindset
- Why you must “laugh, love, and cry” every day
- The importance of real friends during crisis
- Supporting a spouse while fighting your own battle
This conversation is raw, honest, and filled with wisdom that only experience can give.
Stan is 85 years old — and still planning his 100th birthday.
That’s rebounding.
