Cancer Survivor, Coach, Leadership Developer, Musician & Dad Andy Nelson

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with cancer survivor, coach, leadership developer, musician, and dad Andy Nelson.

A Fortune 5 leader and 10-year, multi-recurrence Stage IV cancer survivor, Andy Nelson has turned an extraordinary journey through cancer into a mission to help others find hope, resilience, gratitude, clarity, connection, and joy — even in the middle of whatever life throws at them.

His upcoming book, Survivor’s Gratitude: The Gifts of Cancer, Clarity, and Connection, arrives October 20, 2026.

From his home base in Minneapolis, Andy opens up about his remarkable journey, his career pivot, leadership development, coaching, writing, music, jazz, fatherhood, and the lessons he has learned through years of facing uncertainty and adversity.

This is much more than a conversation about cancer. It’s a powerful story about choosing how to live, finding meaning in difficult seasons, staying connected, and discovering gratitude in unexpected places.

Andy plans to stick around — and do much more — using his experiences, talents, and perspective to help as many people as possible along the way.

If you've ever faced adversity, experienced a major life transition, searched for greater purpose, or simply needed a reminder that hope can survive even the toughest circumstances, this conversation is for you.

Dig into this inspirational story with Andy Nelson.
