I use the word ‘inspiring’ a lot, but for good reason. And Terry Tucker is another level of the definition of the word. And the quotability is through the roof. And the stories? Don’t miss one second of this revisit of Terry’s episode of Be The Good with Kate.
Terry is facing the inevitable that cancer will take him from this Earth in the near future, yet has chosen a mindset of using the time he has left to do all he can to make a difference in this world.
Terry founded Motivational Check LLC, is an author and motivational speaker, cancer warrior and amputee, has been a D1 basketball player,  marketing executive, hospital administrator, SWAT Team Hostage Negotiator, high school basketball coach, and is a father and husband.
“I use my 4 Truths to guide the decisions I make in my life…which I have developed over my ten-year battle with melanoma:
1. Control your mind, or it will control you.
2. Embrace the pain and discomfort we all experience in life and use it to make you a stronger and more determined individual.
3. What you leave behind is what you weave in the hearts of other people.
4. As long as you don't quit - you can never be defeated. “
