On this episode of Redefining Resilience, Chris and Kiley sit down with William Yank, a professional saker and financial advisor at Northwestern Mutual.
William Yank is a 4x cancer survivor diagnosed at the budding age of 21. Over 4 years he fought for his life through remissions, relapses, and a number of encounters with death. He danced with the devil and fought his way back to his faith. With over 3 years of survivorship under his belt, hours of therapy, journaling, reflection, and discovery, he shares his story and the wisdom we all desire in a youthful, energetic, and relevant package.
William is now a born thinker. By day he runs his wealth practice and by night he is a professional speaker, writer, and podcaster. Will has spoken on the TEDx stage, amassed over 100k followers on social media platforms, has worked with brands like the NFL, Walgreens, Susan G Komen, American Cancer Society, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Ulman Foundation, and Love Your Melon.
