Join pancreatic cancer survivor and globetrotting technologist Jeremy Geelan as he offers his thoughts on how to get the best out of bad things. Hear about his experiences with diagnosis, Whipple surgery, and adjuvant chemotherapy – and how he accidentally "lost" two years of his life to enzyme deficiency. His story is a story inspired by his grandfather's hero, Winston Churchill, whose words he travels the world commending to all who will listen: ”Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.” A highly experienced public speaker, Jeremy will make you laugh and make you cry...but above all will make you hope. In his professional life, Jeremy is a San Jose-based software executive, a conference organizer, an Internet TV producer, and a keynote speaker whose specialty is what he calls 'The Future of the Future'.
