ABOUT STEVE
Investor, entrepreneur, adventurer and revolutionary thought leader. Raised by a low-income single mother, Steve started his first business at 19 with a $500 credit card and grew it into a business with a half-billion dollar valuation before he sold it. Today, he leads a group of globally-impactful companies and non-profits spanning natural pharmaceuticals, CPG, film, hospitality, technology and venture capital.
Steve’s career trajectory changed radically at age 24 when he was diagnosed with a terminal cancer for which there was no cure and only 2 years left to live. Steve hired an MD, built a research team and traveled the world to develop a cure.
Learn about Steve’s healing journey in his upcoming book, OVERCOMING THE IMPOSSIBLE: From Death-Sentence Diagnosis to the Healing Power of Perception Medicine
OVERCOMING THE IMPOSSIBLE: From Death-Sentence Diagnosis to the Healing Power of Perception Medicine
Overcoming the Impossible shares Steve’s experience of ignoring the signs that his life – as well as his mind, mind, and spirit – were out of balance, which led to a diagnosis of terminal Stage 4 cancer at the age of 25. Unwilling to accept the verdict or subject his body to the chemical forces of Western medicine that promised only to help manage and not to heal – with debilitating side effects – he shares his astonishing journey to find a cure for the incurable. The result: full regression of the disease with no treatment and the transformation of his life to one of exuberance, adventure, openness, and business success.
Steve resolved to go to the edge of science, philosophy, psychology, medicine, and even mysticism to answer the question of what part of him was controlling his body’s biological systems and whether he could influence their programming.
His search for answers took him from the summit of Mt. Everest to the mechanisms that trigger the body’s inflammatory responses, from the latest research on the effects of meditation to new advancements in the emerging field of psychoneuroimmunology. He also highlights instances of remarkable healing and mind-over-matter achievements, including the fast-wound-healing rituals of Sufis, loincloth-clad monks melting snow in the Himalayas, the incredible endurance feats of Vim de Hof, and much more.
For Steve it’s a story about choice, the choices behind who we are today and those that will shape who we want to become tomorrow. As he writes, “Health is not a process or a destination. It is a way of being.” He has distilled his experience into a ten-step healing program that he believes can potentially reverse even the most serious of physical conditions.
“Let the friction of your fear be the wind that gives your dreams flight”
