Ami Tully Lotka Show Notes

Misery is optional

Joelle Kaufman: Welcome back to Kicking Cancer's Ass, the podcast where we rewrite the script on cancer. I'm your host, Joelle Kaufman, and if you're new here, this isn't a typical cancer podcast where we whisper around hard truths or drown you in medical jargon. We're here to talk about the 99% survival rate for early detection, real strategies from people who've been in the trenches and prove that you can face cancer with confidence.

Community and yeah, even joy. Today, I'm absolutely thrilled to introduce you to someone who embodies everything this podcast stands for. She's my new friend, Amy Tulley Latka. She's an entrepreneur, she's a distribution consultant, and she's the newest member of what I call the sorority. You never wanted to join, but it's full of incredible gals.

Amy. Amy has been running Maximum Impact Partners for over 25 years, helping financial services companies sell more and sell better by focusing on the [00:01:00] power of the individual individual. But here's what makes her story so compelling. When stage, and correct me if I got this wrong, stage three triple negative breast cancer showed up uninvited in her life.

She applied that same leadership principles the same can do, take no prisoners' attitude that built her successful business to crushing her cancer journey. So for example, she had her daughter bring her a joke every day, every single week during chemo, she keeps a sign on her desk. I love this. Tell them what the sign says.

Ami Tully Lotka: Misery is an option.

Joelle Kaufman: Love that, right? We can't avoid pain. We don't have to choose misery. And, and I believe she finished her last round of radiation just two months before the time we're recording this podcast. And you know, she has clear margins and her attitude is gonna make you believe she just conquered Mount Everest.[00:02:00]
