At 16, Jake was diagnosed with an inoperable glioblastoma — a diagnosis that forced him into survival mode while others his age were just beginning to explore life.
In this episode, Jake shares his deeply personal journey:
From early misdiagnosis to life-changing discovery
Undergoing intensive treatment and defying expectations
Living with ongoing neurological and physical challenges
More than a story of survival, this is a conversation about adaptation, mindset, and rebuilding identity.
Jake also explores how he uses:
Writing as therapy
Music as rehabilitation
Daily wellness practices to manage long-term effects
His book, Keep Moving But Lay Still, reflects his experience with honesty, humour, and raw insight.
This episode highlights an important truth: Survival is not the end of the story — it’s the beginning of a new way of living.
