What do you do when your world collapses? When your son is diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer, and you meet another father in the hospital who has lost his job and can't afford a $2 parking fee? This isn't a hypothetical, it was the reality for my guest, Tom Sutter. It's a level of tragedy that can break a person and force them to give up.But Tom didn't just survive; he found his life's mission in the middle of the wreckage. In this episode, he shares his incredible journey of co-founding Cal's Angels, a foundation that supports children and families fighting pediatric cancer. We get into how this purpose reshaped his entire approach to his insurance career, teaching him that real success is built on authenticity, transparency, and a genuine desire to help people.
