58: Take What the Defense Gives You with Cancer Survivor Jonathan Zierdt

Jonathan Zierdt, President and CEO of Greater Mankato Growth, talks about his journey battling kidney and prostate cancer. At first he tried to "tame" cancer, but has realized to embrace cancer he must "take what the defense gives him."

His mission is to change the way we see cancer and be open to the blessings that come from cancer. To stay positive, he encourages people to: 1) find what inspires you and grab ahold of it, and 2) remember that life is not a spectator sport – we must get in the game!
