#156 - Musician Tom Willner

This week on The Popcast, Tim catches up with an old friend from his hometown of Mansfield, Pennsylvania — the first time they've spoken in nearly 40 years. Tom Willner joins the show to discuss his remarkable journey from a cancer diagnosis at age 30 to building a life centered on purpose, creativity, and resilience. Tom shares how that experience changed his outlook, inspired a musical based on his battle with cancer, and ultimately led to the creation of Now We Thrive, a nonprofit dedicated to helping cancer survivors move from surviving to thriving. We also talk about his upcoming Now We Thrive Open House on June 13 in Atlanta.
