In this episode of Better, Dr. Matthew Kettman (Dr. Rock) sits down with entrepreneur and longtime friend Jim Mudd. Jim shares stories from his upbringing in a family-owned radio business and how those early experiences shaped his leadership at Jim Mudd Advertising. He reflects on the influence of his father and the lasting impact of face-to-face connection and positive energy in both business and life.
Jim opens up about his personal battle with bladder cancer, diagnosed when he was just 30 years old. He describes the surgeries, setbacks, and mindset shifts that helped him through. He also shares how lifestyle changes—like cutting sugar and reducing stress—played a role in his recovery and long-term wellness.
Throughout the episode, Jim highlights his commitment to employee health, creating a work environment focused on encouragement, wellness, and growth. He also speaks candidly about his spiritual journey and the ongoing role faith plays in how he leads and lives. With heartfelt insights and practical wisdom, this conversation is a powerful reminder of the strength found in resilience, purpose, and community.
