Round 2: Make Plans, Cancel Plans, Do YOU - Sean Wachter

I'd like to dedicate this episode and perhaps all of this podcast to my father, Richard Koppenaal, who passed away recently. I can confidently say I would not be where I am sitting today if it wasn't for him In this episode, Bevin and I interview Sean Wachter, a Stage 4 Melanoma with Leptomeningeal Disease, survivor. He is 1 of 1 that has survived and cured of his disease. Sean is a true testament to keeping your head up, advocating for yourself, and trusting in your gut to get you there. In the hour we spoke, he changed our outlooks for the better, and we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it.
