In this powerful episode of the Refine & Shine Podcast, Angelina Rivera sits down with Brian Snow, a veteran broadcaster and stage 4 pancreatic cancer survivor, to explore the exact moment he chose to fight back against overwhelming odds.

Brian opens up about receiving a diagnosis with less than a 2% survival rate, navigating depression as a man, grieving the loss of loved ones, and finding the strength to keep going through faith, community, and unwavering support from his wife. This conversation goes beyond cancer. It is about resilience, mental health, and the power of deciding not to quit when everything tells you to stop.

If you or someone you love is facing illness, grief, burnout, or silent struggles, this episode is a reminder that hope can begin with one decision.

In this episode, we cover:

• Brian Snow’s journey from early life adversity and bullying to a career in broadcasting
• What it means to survive stage 4 pancreatic cancer with a less than 2% survival rate
• How grief from losing a parent and a child reshaped his life and perspective
• Men’s mental health and the danger of the “man up” mentality
• Recognizing and addressing depression instead of suppressing it
• The power of laughter, encouragement, and community in healing
• Faith, mindset shifts, and choosing hope during impossible seasons
• Supporting loved ones through illness, disability, and financial stress
• Why delaying your dreams can cost more than fear ever will

Key takeaway:
You are not weak for struggling. You are human. Healing happens when we stop suffering in silence and allow others to walk with us.
