About our Guest:
Bill’s 20-year battle has shaped his life and priorities.
He has had a successful work career, with FosterGrant, MIRUS, IRONMAN, Clearwater Marine Aquarium, and as the co-founder of a marketing agency, Remedy 365. But Bill’s family is his priority and a big reason why he has fought so hard to beat cancer five times so far, with #6 in progress and #7 just a few years away.
Bill loves to run, is an IRONMAN athlete, and has found great purpose in writing this book. With a simple goal – to help others in their journey. The book gives purpose to the pain he has experienced.
