It took me 3 YEARS to get diagnosed with cancer. I lost a third of my tongue.
Every doctor said:
1. Go home. It’s a COVID symptom.
2. Go home. You don’t look sick.
3. Go home. You are being dramatic.
I saw four doctors. I took steroids. I changed my diet. I had my teeth
The wellness industry has a dirty secret and you’ve been buying in.
This is the film they don’t want you to see.
If you thought it was a question of carbs or cardio, the problem runs much deeper, and the solution is nothing that you have been sold.
The reality? THE HERO IS

So so so proud of you, also so so so in love with you. I knew you were worth fighting for from day one.
And to those struggling: a few tips that worked for us but everyone is different!
1) A sober partner (I stopped because of cancer but have kept it going almost two years).

I love how this has turned into a natural versus unnatural conversation. Not the point.

Fitness Twitter is insane! 😂 chill people! I will clear one thing up, I was jaw dropped, looking at him, because I am a lifter and I know how hard those results are, naturally
If anyone is worried about cancer and wants to learn from an actual Cancer Researcher, here is the expert from my health documentary. He’s magic.

drink decaf coffee, give all three dogs their walk, daily meal prep for my kids, lift weights, have a conversation with a stranger, read for one hour, write up thoughts for two, and make memories with my family every other second. ❤️❤️❤️

First thing. I will argue this until the day I die. Anything else is disgusting. At Tracy Morgan sang in 30 Rock. “Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth!”

“Be an advocate for art, within the commerce.” So well said!!! This is the filmmakers tight rope but it’s our job to let art win sometimes. Awesome!

It is possible! You just have to incorporate them into those steps! When I need to work, I set up workstations for them beside me. For my little one, I strap him to me for walks! Consistency. Now they expect this routine, we have an easier time implementing and enjoying it.
I am beyond thrilled to see

is one of my favorite preliminary interviews i have done so far for this AI documentary. He was kind, inspiring, and so full of light. Hard to explain, which is why I am a visual storyteller! CEOs
We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners. We look forward to getting to know Emmett

I know a good investment when I see one. Also… you’re lucky you’re cute! Also… you came with a gorgeous golden retriever so I had no choice!
Documentaries are HARD to make.
Here are 3 tips to get started / keep going:
1. You don’t need expensive gear. If you have a good idea, start filming it.
2. Expect NOs your entire career. The grind never ends but that’s a good thing!
3. Share your work. Share online. Share

This is so hard! I think if people used it as it means to make their lives easier, and they committed to keep it going long-term, it could work. However, using it as a means of weight loss long term, is not the most effective means. People need to learn how to eat in their towns,

Could not stop watching this. Absolutely worth a full listen. The “GFY” in the beginning was a random entrance to the actual discussion about free speech, Tesla, SpaceX, data, etc.

My case was very successful, but even I have a hard time with my speech, swallowing, eating sometimes. It’s much better than it was, but turns out the tongue is super important to speech, digestion, and breathing.
Cancer SUCKS!!! If I’ve learned anything this year it’s the people in your life are the only thing that matter. That’s it. Not your job. Not your art. Your family and friends consume your thoughts, and the desire to stay with them longer is the only goal. Let’s support each other
