  • We Get It: A chat with Joe Bakhmoutski (season 3, episode 9)
    2022/05/17
    This week’s episode of We Get It features a chat with Joe Bakhmoutski, founder and champion of Simplify Cancer.

    Joe said, “Going through cancer forced me to have a long, hard look at myself and my life. I did not like some things, and some things no longer fit, so I adapted to be more present with the people I care about the most, and rediscovered my sense of purpose through helping others who want to lead a happier, more fulfilled life after cancer. I believe we can choose the way we live our life, to seek greater clarity in everything that we do, to show up at our best every single day, and hold on to hope that despite the struggle, things can — and do — change for the better!”
