Rarely are these conversations ever broadcast to the world. Until now. We are often each others’ most powerful allies and greatest sources of inspiration. Each one of us has a unique ability to empathize with one another and to remind each other that a cancer diagnosis is never optional however our suffering always is.

Customer Reviews
Excellent & insightful podcast!
Bert is doing society a great benefit by talking in a honest and real manner about cancer, which sadly is affecting more people at a younger age. I find his podcast episodes refreshing, uplifting and enlightening. As someone who is also journeying with stage 4 cancer I totally resonate with his core message. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone who has contact with cancer, which is pretty much everyone, to listen to his profound message!
Self absorbed
I’m trying to get through my first episode hoping Bert will stop talking about himself and let the guest speak about their specific cancer but I’m about an hour in and it hasn’t happened yet. Each episode looks to be about a different person with a different cancer but the entire episode the guest sits there and Bert speaks about his colon cancer which I’m sure at some point there’s already been an entire episode devoted to. The point of most podcasts is to have guests on and hear their perspectives but he’ll ask a question, let the guest get a sentence in and then go on and on about his own experience. Bummer because I really wanted to hear the woman’s story about being diagnosed with Lobular Breast Cancer. I guess everyone’s got their own style but this isn’t an enjoyable or informative podcast for me.
Powerful insight
It’s not only important subject matter, but it’s insightful observations that will inform and *entertain* anyone facing cancer directly - or indirectly. Bert’s direct and thoughtful first-hand experience is tempered with his quick ability to find the humor - especially in the saddest of moments. Highly recommend.
