Being told he might have a week to live ended up changing Adam’s life for the better.
Adam Spillman, once an athlete, transitioned into a coach, mentor, and motivational speaker following a life-altering cancer diagnosis at age 30, when he was initially given just one week to live.
Now, Adam helps others unlock their full potential and enhance their health and well-being, drawing from the same strategies that fueled his own recovery and transformation post-cancer.
We talk about…

-A stage 3C testicular cancer diagnosis, and finding his body riddled with tumors, including in his arteries, kidney, and lung
-A cancer with very grueling treatment that can kill you as well
-The feeling of impending death
-Realizing the power of mindset during chemo, transfusions, and hospital stays
-Discovering the mind-breath connection and how breathwork can change thinking
-The hardest part of life for cancer survivors is reintegrating into society after treatment
-Finding flow in life, not just in sports
-Discovering new passions like jiu jitsu, open water swimming, and foiling
