What would you do if you were told you had just five years to live?
For Iain Ward, better known online as The King of Chemo, the answer was simple: change the world.
Diagnosed with stage 3 brain cancer, Iain decided to transform his diagnosis into a mission to raise millions for cancer research without ever asking for a donation. Through creative endurance challenges, gaming fundraisers, and an unrelenting sense of humour, he has turned social media into a weapon against cancer itself.
In this conversation, Iain shares how he turned his terminal diagnosis into purpose, why he believes all the bad things in life can become good things, and how he uses physical challenge to stay mentally strong. He also opens up about his philosophy on balance, living without extremes, and the importance of taking imperfect action rather than waiting for the perfect plan. This is an honest and deeply human discussion about facing death, embracing life, and redefining what it means to make an impact.
