Summary

This conversation with Phil Shin is one of the most meaningful and impactful exchanges I’ve ever had for the podcast. Please listen to it—all 2 hours of it. Phil is 51 years old, he’s a husband a a father, he’s a Boston Marathon qualifier, and he is out-running cancer one mile at a time. He’s actually going to run this year’s race on April 18 with his liver donor and friend Mark Murphy, who will be running his first marathon. Phil’s story is incredible, his message is inspiring, and I feel so honored to have the opportunity to share this episode with you.

0:26.9	impact on my life and completely flip my purpose on its head. It really has rewritten my script

0:42.8	with cans even though medically it may be out of me, but you're never cancer-free, as I said before,
0:48.8	right? So the best thing that I can do is to honor those who weren't able to continue
0:56.7	to move their mission forward, right? So, and that carries, you know, as a consequence,
