Episode 2: "Misery is Optional" - Ami Tully Lotka's Cancer Leadership Playbook

Ami Tully Lotka almost skipped the mammogram that saved her life.

Picture this: You're running a successful consulting business, your calendar is packed with no white space, and that annual mammogram appointment is looking like one more inconvenience to reschedule. For Ami, who's spent 25 years helping financial services companies "sell more and sell better" through Maximum Impact Partners, efficiency is everything. So when she contemplated pushing that mammogram appointment by a month or two, it seemed logical.

Thank God she didn't.

What followed was a masterclass in applying business leadership principles to the ultimate challenge: stage three triple-negative breast cancer with zero genetic markers and no family history. Just random, unwelcome cellular chaos that would test everything Ami thought she knew about control, planning, and getting results.
