In this powerful and deeply human episode of the podcast, we sit down with Tia Lancaster to unpack a journey that reshaped her life, her work, and her sense of purpose.

After surviving cancer, Tia was forced to confront questions many of us avoid: What actually matters? How do you spend your energy? And what kind of work is truly worth doing? That experience became a catalyst—not just for healing, but for clarity.

In our conversation, Tia shares the lessons cancer taught her about resilience, perspective, and intentional living, and how those lessons now guide the way she approaches work, leadership, and technology. We explore how AI can be used as a tool for alignment rather than burnout, helping people reclaim time, focus on meaningful contribution, and build careers that support life—not consume it.

This episode is about more than business or technology. It’s about survival, purpose, and designing work that reflects what truly matters.

If you’re navigating change, rethinking your priorities, or searching for meaning in the work you do, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.EP Guest: Tia Lancaster
