What do you do when life hands you a stage four cancer diagnosis?
In this episode of Unveiling Journeys, Tiffany sits down with Russ Hedge, an inspiration specialist, author, podcaster, and marketing coach whose life mission is simple: encourage others to live a purpose-driven life.
After 35+ years in sales and marketing, Russ stepped into entrepreneurship—launching a speaking, coaching, and live-streaming platform dedicated to faith, community, and encouragement. But his biggest test came when melanoma progressed from stage two to stage four, spreading to his lungs and brain.
Ten months after treatment was halted due to severe side effects, Russ received life-changing news: no sign of disease.
In this powerful conversation, we explore faith, resilience, perspective, and what Russ calls “The Divine Equation.”
