In 2012, Truitt was unexpectedly diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer at just 31 years old. After completing surgery, 10 rounds of chemo and 25 rounds of radiation, he finished treatment and healed from colon cancer in 2013. Inspired by being cancer free for 5 years, Truitt launched the One Percent Podcast. On the OPP he interviews young adults who are battling or surviving an unexpected cancer diagnosis. His vision for the podcast is to to create a community to help young adults cope with their new identity and the emotional side effects of treatment.
Discussed in this Episode:Think of someone in your life that you feel resentment towards and practice apologizing for your part. The next couple of weeks, we have been challenged to practice forgiveness—radical forgiveness. Truitt offers us a way to do this alone, whether the other person is present or not, and he enlightens us to how much apologizing to his number one offender lightened his load, enhanced his life, and helped him heal from colon cancer.
