F**K CANCER: how to stop waiting to die and start living - The King of Chemo

from Project Possible with Rich Leigh · host Rich Leigh - interviews about motivation, resilience and what's truly possible

What would you do if you were told you had five years to live?At just 30 years old, Iain Liam Ward - better known online as The King of Chemo - was diagnosed with stage 3 brain cancer and given a five-year life expectancy. That was five and a half years ago.Since then, he’s turned his diagnosis into a mission: raising millions for charity, building a community of millions online, and proving what’s possible when you stop waiting to die - and start living.In this conversation, we talk about everything from gaming and fitness to grief, male friendship, how cancer impacts dating, Iain's choice not to have children and the random moment a medical trial changed his life forever.It’s raw, real, and deeply human - a reminder that even in the darkest of times, finding purpose is always possible.=====We all want to be happy, healthy and fulfilled.The question is: how?Project Possible, hosted by me, Rich Leigh, explores this question with incredible guests from the world of business, sport, entertainment, health and psychology.Between the second and third series, I made the decision to go full-time on this show.I sold my successful 10 year old PR agency after my youngest brother Jordan took his own life. I realised that I needed to run towards passion, purpose and positive impact, and my dream of this being my career.Possibilists, pull up a pew.=====Sign up now to the free weekly newsletter at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://projectpossible.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for behind the scenes, giveaways, ways to get involved and more.=====Follow on IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/richleighpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Project Possible website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.projectpossiblepod.com
