After 17 years, this is my last podcast

I want you to hear this from me rather than through the grapevine because you are part of my legacy. I've always encouraged people, as you know, to ask, what does this make possible? Well, 3 weeks ago, I thought I was an extraordinarily healthy 76-year-old guy. I eat a clean diet. I don't smoke. I don't drink. I exercise 5 times a week. On December 7, 2023, the doctors discovered I have very advanced pancreatic cancer that had already spread into my liver and into my bones and told me the prognosis is not good at all. Well, this gives me a unique opportunity to live out the principles I have taught all these years. Think about the way that I present life and how to approach things that are unexpected and unwelcome. I tell you to "never let your circumstances determine your attitude." I'm getting an opportunity now to test that out. Did I really believe those things, or was I just giving lip service to some kind of principles that I read in a book somewhere? My legacy is firmly embedded in people like you, people that I've had the privilege of interacting with in the past few years. You are my legacy. You are now the torchbearers of these principles that I borrowed from the previous great thinkers. Joanne and I have lived the life we loved for 55 years together. And we'd loved having the opportunity to inspire others to do the same. We have lived our dreams. I don't have a a bucket list of things I've not done. Anything Joanne and I wanted to do, we've done. I've loved creating new adventures, and now I'm anticipating an incredible spiritual transformation. Thank you for being who you are and for carrying a tiny flame from me to the many who you now have an opportunity to influence. My family set up a site for people to leave comments so I have the privilege of hearing the wonderful messages that you all are leaving there. You can access it here. You'll see lots of photos of my life journey on there — beautiful, beautiful memories I've been privileged to live through. And if you scroll to the bottom, you can leave your comments there. You've been so faithful, so responsive, so generous with your your questions, and even gifts and comments as well. Thank you for being open to growing, for being a powerful force and making the world a better place. I encourage you to become known for your positivity, for offering hope and encouragement to others. You heard it from me for so many years — continue to believe that we can, without a shadow of a doubt, find or create work and a life that is meaningful, purposeful, and profitable. So until we meet again, I'm your friend for eternity, Dan Miller.
