    JB & Sandy Take A Deep Dive Into Livestrong with President and CEO Suzanne Stone

    What Happens After a Cancer Diagnosis? The Livestrong Mission, Breakthrough Innovations, and the Life-Changing Questions No One Asks  What would you do in the first hour after hearing the words, "You have cancer?"  In this powerful and deeply personal JB and Sandy deep dive, the guys sit down with Livestrong President and CEO Suzanne Stone for an eye-opening conversation about cancer survivorship, resilience, community, and the remarkable evolution of one of Austin's most recognized organizations.  Suzanne pulls back the curtain on how Livestrong navigated one of the most challenging periods in its history while staying focused on its core mission: helping people affected by cancer live stronger lives. She shares why the organization chose to keep the Livestrong name, how it's impacted more than 100 million people, and why trust remains at the center of everything they do.  The conversation explores the emotional reality of a cancer diagnosis and the overwhelming questions patients face. From financial concerns and family planning to transportation challenges and nutrition, Suzanne explains how Livestrong helps people find answers when they need them most.  One of the most fascinating moments comes when Suzanne reveals how a conversation with her son inspired the creation of Ellis, an AI-powered cancer survivorship companion designed to provide trusted, evidence-based guidance. It's a glimpse into how technology is helping Livestrong reach a new generation of patients and caregivers.  You'll also hear inspiring stories about the Livestrong community, the upcoming Run for the Roses event, support systems built through shared experiences, and why, as Suzanne puts it, "People heal through action."  Other memorable moments include:  The surprising history behind the Livestrong brand and its lasting impact.  How cancer survivors are finding community instead of facing their journey alone.  The fertility preservation program helping patients protect future family plans.  A moving discussion about first responders and their increased cancer risks.  JB and Sandy sharing unforgettable stories from decades of involvement with Livestrong, including a grueling 100-mile ride and a near biker showdown.  This episode is heartfelt, informative, inspiring, and packed with real-world insights that could help someone facing one of life's toughest challenges.  If this conversation moved you, be sure to subscribe to The JB and Sandy Show, leave a review, and share this episode with friends and family. You never know who might need to hear these stories, resources, and messages of hope.

    Parental Anxiety, Cone of Shame, and Vibe Coding

And if you're into pop-culture moments, there is a fun detour into surprise celebrity appearances, from Ella Langley in St. Thomas to artists like Train and Bon Jovi showing up unannounced to sing with fans.Then Sandy reveals the behind-the-scenes obsession that's got everyone teasing him: vibe coding and AI automation. He explains how he's using AI to build practical tools, like organizing photos and automating everyday tasks, while JB and Tricia roast him for sounding a little too much like a coder with no coding background at all. Perfect for listeners who love local radio chemistry, funny family stories, and a few genuinely useful takeaways buried inside the chaos.

From there, Care Don't Care delivers the kind of offbeat headlines that turn into full-blown bits, including Austin landing at the top of a list nobody expected and a carnival scam so brazen it earns a new nickname: the old razzle dazzle.You'll discover:Why Austin has the cheapest cheeseburger combo in the country, and why that still feels expensiveHow a rigged carnival game managed to soak one player for $650How Gen Z has repurposed “LARPing” into a perfect insult for fake behavior onlineWhy the return of Katz's Deli downtown hits so hard for Austin localsThen the show pivots into pure listener participation as JB takes on his long-dormant car-by-horn challenge, and somehow nails Lexus after Lexus before calling out a Mercedes like he never stopped.
