Joe Bakhmoutski is a father, husband, author and testicular cancer survivor from Melbourne, Australia.

Author of Simplify Cancer and Finding Hope in Times of Uncertainty, Joe has made it his mission in life to help others facing their own cancer journey. In this conversation with Cindy Thompson, Joe shares a number of his pivotal learnings and resilience practices, from the mindset shifts that got him through treatment to the small daily habits that kept him grounded. His contagious energy and positive outlook run through the entire conversation, offering listeners a genuine sense of hope through adversity, and a reminder that even the hardest chapters can lead somewhere worth reaching.
