Mike Koenigs was a serial entrepreneur, 13 time #1 best selling author and speaker and he was also a stressed out work-a-holic. Then it happened…a scary and life-threatening diagnosis: Stage 3A Cancer. He went through a major surgery, four months of intravenous chemotherapy, 33 radiation treatments and oral chemotherapy Cancer WOKE HIM UP but surviving cancer is not what saved him. Mike believes that his cancer was caused by a combination of an unmanaged diet, an incredibly stressful 30 years of hard work, running multiple businesses but more importantly: unmanaged emotions. Ultimately, he shares that cancer was his greatest mentor and teacher. Two years after his diagnosis and treatment, he wrote the book, “Cancerpreneur” to help other entrepreneurs thrive and survive through a cancer treatment and diagnosis with their marriage, family and business intact.
