Is today the day I'm going to die? Not today Catie - with Kevin O'Brien

"Today's the day we have. Let's see what we can do with it." - Kevin O'Brien -------------------------------------------------------------------     I had a profound conversation with Kevin O'Brien - now a dear friend - where he shared the inspirational story of his daughter, Catie. Catie's remarkable journey and her ability to focus on making every day count left a deep impression on me.  I'm honored to share the story of Catie, a courageous young girl who touched my heart and the incredible work of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This story is a powerful reminder of the critical mission of St. Jude and why we must all support it. -------------------------------------------------------------------   Here are my show notes:  Living life to the fullest and making the most of time. (0:04) Prioritizing eulogy virtues over resume virtues. (10:45) Growth, loss, and resilience after a parent's passing. (15:58) Growth after loss and how to fill the void. (19:54) Personal stories, persistence, and advocacy. (23:58) Pediatric cancer, St. Jude Hospital, and personal stories. (30:41) Pediatric cancer survival rates and personal story. (34:58) Cancer treatment and living life to the fullest. (39:43) Legacy, hope, and supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. (43:38) Legacy, birthday wish, and St. Jude. (50:02) St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and its history. (54:04) Coping with cancer and the importance of asking for help. (59:31)   -------------------------------------------------------------------   "You have to be willing to give up the life you planned and instead, greet the life that is waiting for you." - Joseph Campbell -------------------------------------------------------------------   If you like what you see, please subscribe to the show: bit.ly/subscribetotheshow Learn more about your ad choices.
