What do you do when someone tells you you’ve only got seven months to live?

If you’re Jason Tharp, you decide to do the exact opposite of giving up. You strip away the masks, you stop apologizing for who you are, and you start spreading joy in the most unexpected ways.

Jason is an author, artist, and cancer survivor who’s beating the odds every single day. In our chat, he shares how a Stage 4 brain cancer diagnosis became the thing that set him free — from self-loathing, from fear, from living small.

We get into:
⚡ The wild story of firing his doctor after being told he’d be dead in 7 months.
⚡ How he went from 400 pounds to reclaiming his health.
⚡ Why he started leaving handwritten notes of encouragement for strangers.
⚡ And the perspective shift that changed everything: cancer isn’t happening to him, it’s happening through him.

This one’s about survival, sure. But more than that, it’s about choosing to really live.

And Jason — if you’re reading this — thank you for sitting across from me and sharing your story so openly. You filled my cup (and then some), and I know you’ll do the same for everyone who listens.
