Steve Trudeau is a young entrepreneur, designer, storyteller, businessman, cancer survivor, emerging thought leader, and an expert in the art of overcoming adversity to achieve extraordinary goals.

Surely there was one particular part of the statement above that sparked your curiosity. So, since you're too polite to ask:

At the age of 19, Steve was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Seven months later, after grinding through the treatment process, he was declared cancer-free only to plunge head-first into a six-year-long crisis of identity and purpose that shook the very foundation he had been building his life upon. After several years of dragging along the very bottom of human existence, Steve finally realized that something needed to change. At that point there were only two options: end it all and forever put a stop to the misery, or assume all accountability for his happiness.

He chose accountability.
