  • She Beat Cancer, Sold Her Company & Quit Her Ego. Here's What She Learned.
    2026/06/11

    Robin Toft has built companies, survived cancer, led global teams, and raised millions for cancer research. Yet one of her most profound leadership lessons came from learning to quiet her ego and trust something deeper.

    In this episode of the (un)conversations® podcast, Robin Toft, CEO of Curebound and 20-year colon cancer survivor, joins Dr. Alison Schmidt for a candid conversation about leadership, intuition, purpose, resilience, and what it truly means to live a successful life.

    Robin shares her journey from high-powered life sciences executive to purpose-driven leader, revealing how a cancer diagnosis transformed her perspective on achievement, self-care, and the role fear plays in our decisions. Together, Robin and Alison explore the tension between ego and intuition, why love may be the most overlooked leadership strategy, and how redefining success can change everything.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • Why Robin describes herself as "unafraid"
    • The difference between leading from fear and leading from love
    • How intuition can become a leader's greatest advantage
    • The lessons cancer taught her about stress, health, and priorities
    • Why self-care is a leadership necessity, not a luxury
    • The connection between purpose, passion, and meaningful success
    • What it takes to stop playing small and start living fully

    Whether you're a CEO, entrepreneur, emerging leader, cancer survivor, caregiver, or navigating a major life transition, this conversation is a powerful reminder that success isn't just about what you accomplish—it's about how you show up for yourself and others along the way.

    "The definition of success for most people is giving and receiving as much love as you can in your lifetime." — Robin Toft
