In episode 344, I speak with Dr. Jeffrey Reynolds, author, Ironman Triathlete, two-time cancer survivor and nonprofit executive from Long Island, NY. He's the author of "Every Mile Matters: Turning Triathlon Training Into Cancer Triumph," which immediately became a top new release in several categories on Amazon. Just months after crossing the finish line of an Ironman Triathlon, he discovered that his athletic endurance and mental toughness would become essential tools when facing two cancer diagnoses within two years – prostate cancer followed by Stage 3B colorectal cancer. Drawing from decades of helping others through their darkest moments, he navigated surgery, chemotherapy and radiation with the same grit and discipline that carried him across finish lines. Today he combines lived experience as a two-time survivor with nationally recognized leadership to advance the power of purpose, health equity, and strength and resilience for patients everywhere. His journey offers a roadmap for life after cancer and beyond. His message, as the clock of life counts down, do the things now that you want to do. This is an inspiring podcast, not to be missed.
Life doesn’t slow down. The clock is always ticking. The question is—how are you choosing to spend your time?
In this powerful and deeply moving episode, I sit down with Dr. Jeffrey Reynolds, author, Ironman triathlete, nonprofit executive, and two-time cancer survivor, to explore what it truly means to live with intention when life reminds you just how fragile it is.
Jeff’s story is one of extraordinary resilience. Within just two years, he faced prostate cancer followed by Stage 3B colorectal cancer—all while continuing to draw strength from the mindset forged through endurance sport.

His book, Every Mile Matters: Turning Triathlon Training Into Cancer Triumph, became an immediate Amazon top new release and offers far more than a cancer survival story. It’s a guide for navigating adversity, finding purpose in pain, and making peace with the countdown clock we all live under.
