Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 2, Episode 6 on Transacting Value Podcast!
Many know him from the Navy, more from his American Idol audition, and still others know him as an inspiration, as one who uplifts fellow cancer fighters and their families.
Over roughly a decade, Micah Johnson from Georgia, the one who sang “Chicken Fried” for his Season 12 American Idol audition, had four cancer diagnoses – tonsil, throat, breast, and colon. He shares with us the ups and downs of his health journey.
- How frightening and debilitating the disease can be
- How many arguments now seem petty and not worth the energy he once gave them
- How his relationship with his mother has deepened now that they have shared the same type of cancer
- How his faith community has rallied around him, meeting his emotional and physical needs
- The perspective shifts he has experienced after meeting young children with cancer
Through an incredibly tough journey of sickness, radiation, and chemotherapy, Micah’s likable character has been steadfast. He has even maintained his sense of humor. He repeatedly references his supportive community and how spending time with friends is what speaks love to him. We also discuss how Micah deals with negative comments about his diet, and how he has been able to set aside his pride so that he can accept help from others.
Some quotes from Micah in today’s episode:
- “The same boiling water that hardens an egg softens a potato.”
- “Life is not about perfection but progression.”
- “You don’t know that people love you until you get sick.”
- “You have to be okay with not being okay.”
