Next Episode: 708 | NLP Taught Me That I Always Had the Solution with Fallon Moran

In this episode, we speak with Writer & Musician, Ray Hartjen. Ray is a writer, musician and songwriter living in Northern California. In a professional career that has spanned parts of five decades, he pivoted on many occasions, from investment banking to pharmaceuticals, from consumer electronics to SaaS software. One constant throughout his career path, however, has been storytelling. A cancer fighter every day of the week that ends in a ‘y,’ Ray shares his experience and raises funds for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation with his latest book, Me, Myself & My Multiple Myeloma. And, with life’s soundtrack playing in his head, Ray also performs and records with his two-piece acoustic band, the Chronic Padres.

In this episode, we discuss:

1) Cancer has become Ray’s biggest calling and he shares his experience and raises funds for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation in his latest book, Me, Myself & My Myeloma. He has reframed his fight against cancer to focus on what makes life worth living.

2) Cancer taught Ray to not take life for granted, and the power of vulnerability and learning that his story could help others feel less alone in their story too.
