About the Episode
Hey guys, welcome to the first episode of my new podcast, Adapt. This podcast, along with this newsletter, is going to document my pursuit of new talents - from music to cooking to workouts and a whole bunch more.
In this first episode, I sit down with my best friend of the last 15+ years Danny Travis to talk about the earth shattering news that neither of us saw coming, and the fall out that followed.
Picture from Danny & Jackie’s Wedding, about 6 months before diagnosis.
Danny’s openness and positivity, from diagnosis to recovery, was amazing for me to watch. And so I wanted to record this as the first episode of the podcast because for anybody that saw how Danny handled this, Danny put on a masterclass in handling adversity.
I will say a couple things before we get started:
Get checked. This is always something you think can’t happen to you, but it can. Be proactive.
If you’re someone who has been diagnosed, I hope that this conversation and Danny’s experience will provide you a little more clarity on what to expect, and give you the insights you need to beat this fucker.
If you know someone who has been diagnosed, I hope that this will provide you some insights into what they might be feeling and thinking at each stage of the journey, and give you a better handle on the best things you can do to support them
If you’re struggling to stay sane and positive in quarantine, or through any other type of adversity, I think Danny’s advice will provide you with the strength and calm you need to overcome
I’ll wrap up this intro with a poem that was Danny’s mantra throughout his recovery process (and that we both have tattooed on us as a result):
The devil whispers to the warrior,
You’re not strong enough to handle to the storm
The warrior whispers back
I am the Storm
Please enjoy this espresso fueled conversation with the Wildcard himself, Danny Travis.
Love, peace & elbow grease,
-sj
ps. Stay tuned for new episodes, coming soon…
