At eight months old, Jake Olson was diagnosed with retinoblastoma and had to have his left eye removed. At the age of 12, news came back from the doctors that the cancer returned in his right eye and he would have to lose his sight completely.

In this episode, you will hear how Jake makes the daily choice to choose optimism over fear, and his advice for anyone in life who need to rewire their thinking to constantly prioritize gratitude.
