You’re Not Dead Yet Finding Purpose, Faith, and Resilience After Stage Four Cancer
In this episode of Who We Become — Life Beyond Change , Amanda Lentz sits down with Troy Frostad to explore resilience beyond performance, identity after diagnosis, caregiving, faith, and what happens when life forces you to confront your own mortality. Troy is a certified executive and performance coach, a U.S. Air Force veteran, founder of Pinnacle Leadership, and a man who, five years ago, heard the words stage four colon cancer . What followed was not only a fight for survival, but a complete transformation in how he understood strength, leadership, vulnerability, purpose, and what it truly means to keep going when life no longer looks recognizable. Together, Amanda and Troy talk about the emotional reality of serious illness, the hidden burden caregivers carry, how resilience changes when survival becomes personal, and the way difficult experiences can uncover a deeper calling. This conversation is for anyone navigating uncertainty, health challenges, grief, identity shifts, or seasons where life asks more of you than you ever expected to give.
