Description

In this heartfelt episode of The Purposeful MD Podcast, I am joined by the incomparable Gregory Proctor.

Gregory is a Navy veteran, cancer survivor, and award-winning author. 

He truly is energy in motion. He shares his extraordinary story of transformation, from high-powered executive to cancer patient and now to mission-driven philanthropist and inspiration to so many.

Here are the key takeaways from this episode - 

  • The emotional turning point that led him to share his journey publicly and the unexpected support that followed


  • The powerful role of community, hope, and advocacy in survivorship


  • The importance of authenticity and vulnerability, especially around asking for help and advocating for yourself


  • How walking the Camino de Santiago became a literal and spiritual pilgrimage for healing and purpose


This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating adversity. In Gregory’s words, “ We have an indomitable human will in our spirit.”
