Jonathan Sams is a Navy veteran, attorney, gentleman farmer, husband, and father of four. Throughout his life, Jonathan has been diagnosed with cancer three times—at age 14, at age 39, and most recently at age 55 in May 2022. His outlook on life and how he approaches his battle with cancer is admirable and encouraging.

  • How Jonathan approached receiving his third cancer diagnosis
  • Jonathan’s list of “Some Thoughts” that speak to fearlessness, blessings, facing adversity, vulnerability, gratitude, living to your full potential, and more
