Mark Light is Brad Miller’s guest on the Cancer and Comedy Podcast.[Text Wrapping Break]Mark is the author of Rock Bottom to Resilient: Transform Your Mind and Become Unshakable When the Crap Hits the Fan.
In this episode, Mark shared his powerful story of being diagnosed with stage four colon cancer in 2022, after already enduring years of life-threatening health battles, including pancreatitis and bacterial meningitis. Rather than collapse under the weight of his diagnosis, Mark leaned into resilience, humor, and faith to transform his outlook on life.
He talks about how, for the first forty years of his life, he described himself as negative and defeated, but through adversity, he began a process of transformation that reshaped his mindset. Mark explains why traditional goal setting doesn’t work, and how building systems and habits gave him the strength to cycle across the country, hike the Grand Canyon, and live with purpose even in the face of cancer.
Mark also introduces his T.R.A.S.H. framework—Tactical Vulnerability, Radical Responsibility, Attitude Aerobics, and Healing Humor—as a step-by-step way to navigate adversity. He shares stories of how dark humor, such as naming a golf outing the “Mark Light Memorial” while he was still alive, helped him and others face challenges with courage and a sense of humor.
Beyond his own story, Mark describes giving back through the Pancreatitis Foundation, where he encourages patients by showing them his scars and reminding them that healing is possible. His journey is a raw and transformational testament to the power of resilience, mindset, and humor in the toughest of times.
Mark Light’s story is inspiring, practical, and deeply human—a message of strength and hope for anyone facing cancer, chronic illness, or personal adversity.
The Cancer and Comedy Podcast, hosted by Brad Miller, is published weekly with the mission of bringing hope, humor, and resilience to individuals navigating cancer and other life's challenges.
