The Time to Live Podcast with Travis Luther

When entrepreneur Rick Sapio was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, he made a decision: to live the rest of his life with radical intentionality. In this moving episode of The Time to Live Podcast, Rick shares with host Travis Luther how his cancer diagnosis stripped away distractions and brought clarity to what truly matters—faith, family, values, and purpose.

Through candid reflections, he challenges the myth of "legacy" and urges us to trade hustle culture for values-based living. We explore how death can become a wake-up call to finally align our time and energy with what we say we believe.

If you're in midlife and feeling lost in busyness, Rick's hard-earned wisdom may just help you come back to yourself.

This is the second in a four-part podcast series featuring interviews with people facing terminal illness. Each week, Travis shares a new conversation that has reshaped how he thinks about life, time, and purpose.

👉 These interviews are also the foundation of Travis's Midlife Alignment Workshop, where we use the wisdom of the dying to redesign a second half of life with clarity and intention.

When George Morris, a successful executive coach and former EO Colorado President, was diagnosed with two different cancers on Christmas Day, he could have turned inward. Instead, he chose to share his experience — not just his fears, but his hope, his lessons, and his fierce belief that we can all live more honest, meaningful lives.

In this deeply moving first episode, host Travis Luther talks to George about:

• The regret of choosing someone else's path instead of your own

• The cost of ignoring your gut for the voice in your head

• How working with death in the room has clarified what really matters

• And why legacy might be less important than simple contribution

We lost George just 9 months after this interview, Nov. 10, 2025. Special thanks to George's friends and family for allowing me to share George's wonderful insights and wisdom.

Adam Nemer is the former CFO of Kaiser Permanente and founder of SimpleMentalHealth.com. After his father's suicide, Adam secretly battled his own mental health challenges. Suffering years of his own suicidal ideation, a supervisor invited Adam to check in with the company's mental health services. What followed was a transformative experience that re-prioritized Adam's life, turning him from insurance executive to workplace mental health advocate. Guided by the realization that destigmatizing mental health challenges in the workplace not only led to better culture and retention, but increased the bottom line, Adam left Kaiser and formed Simple Mental Health to teach other executives and founders how to create a Mental Health First Aid kit for their own organizations. 

In this episode, Travis introduces the new podcast name and format. He tells us all about the research he's done over the last year, interviewing people with terminal illness.
