Today’s guest has a powerful story about perspective, resilience, and faith. Steve Garraty was a high school senior living fast and heading down a path that really wasn’t sustainable when life suddenly stopped him in his tracks, and God intervened. Life changed with three words no one wants to hear: “You have cancer.”

After a year of chemotherapy and watching his friends head off to college, Steve not only beat cancer—he completely changed his outlook on life, moving from asking “Why me?” to “Why not me?”

Today, Steve has been married to his wife Wendy for more than 30 years, is the proud father of two successful kids, and has spent his career helping others grow as a sales leader and mentor. Steve now shares his story to encourage others to shift their perspective, grow through adversity, and see the glass as full.
