In this special 100th episode of The Resilient Life, Ryan sits down with a guest whose story of resilience and purpose is redefining what it means to serve.

Matt Howard served as a Marine for 20 years, several of those as a Marine One pilot, even flying President Bush to ground zero in New York City mere days after the attacks of September 11, 2001. Driven to serve others after he left service, he connected with Travis Manion Foundation. Inspired by TMF's mission, Matt was ready to become involved in any way he could. Two weeks later, life threw him a curveball—an unexpected stage four cancer diagnosis.

Matt vowed to be a "cheerful warrior" and has defied the odds that were stacked against him. He continues to fight with courage each day and spends his time building up his community and mentoring youth through TMF's Character Does Matter program. Get ready to be inspired by this conversation about Matt's journey, the lessons he’s learned, and the legacy he’s determined to leave behind.
