In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Carl sits down with entrepreneur, musician, and fighter Rick Langnas, a man who built a thriving company from the ground up, lived the American dream, and now faces the fight of his life with stage four cancer. From a childhood marked by instability, attending 13 schools in 12 years, Rick learned early how to adapt, fight, and persevere. Those lessons carried him into a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry, where he eventually took a leap of faith, left a secure position, and built United Medco into a company employing over 250 people before selling it to a major firm. And just as life seemed to open into a new chapter of freedom…everything changed. Diagnosed with stage four renal cancer, Rick was forced into a battle he never saw coming. What followed was not surrender, but strength in motion. With unwavering resolve, he chose to focus not on what he couldn’t control, but on how he would respond. Through treatments, setbacks, and uncertainty, Rick continues to live with intention, leaning on faith, discipline, music, and mindset to carry him forward. This episode is a raw and inspiring look at resilience, perspective, and what it truly means to live a good life. It is a reminder that even in life’s darkest moments, you can still choose courage, purpose, and joy. 🎙️ In this episode: ➡️ From 13 Schools to Building a 250+ Employee Company ➡️ The Leap of Faith That Changed Everything ➡️ Life After Selling a Successful Business ➡️ Facing Stage 4 Cancer Head-On ➡️ Strength, Mindset, and the Power of Small Steps ➡️ Music, Boxing, and Finding Therapy in the Fight ➡️ Choosing to Live Fully in the Face of Uncertainty &amp;nbsp; Connect with Rick:&amp;nbsp; Email: fightforward43@gmail.com KrushBand &amp;nbsp; Connect with Carl: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn YouTube Website &amp;nbsp; Produced by: Social Chameleon Along the Way Life's Journey https://toeverypageaturning.com/ <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/40693100/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/200330845
