from Entrepreneurial Excellence Podcast · host Adam Spector
Tom LeNoble shares how being told he had six months to live three different times changed the way he sees business, leadership, and life. Instead of letting fear control him, he learned to focus on what is still possible and keep moving forward. In this episode, Tom talks about resilience, taking risks, and why some of his biggest mistakes became his biggest wins. He also shares lessons from working at MCI, Walmart.com, Palm, and Facebook, where he became employee number 57. At its core, this conversation is about choosing courage over fear, staying curious through uncertainty, and building a life that is not defined by what happens to you, but by how you respond.
