Episode 26: Most cancer detection tools fail because they weren’t built for early detection.

In this emotional and mind-expanding episode, Dr. Peter Kuhn—a physicist turned cancer researcher—joins Joelle Kaufman to talk about his mission: eliminating the surprise of cancer.

They dive deep into:

  • Why current science fails patients (and how to fix it)
  • What AI + physics can teach us about cancer detection
  • The overlooked signals hiding in our blood
  • What you can do right now to help advance research

From personal stories to paradigm-shifting insights, this is a must-listen for anyone touched by cancer—and anyone working to outsmart it.

Don’t just fight cancer. Outsmart it.

I'm a 54 year old former CMO/CRO and generational breast cancer survivor. My early cancer experiences shaped my personal and professional philosophy to continuously cultivate an approach that adjusts to whatever curveball shows up. And we know, curveballs are constant, especially in midlife with aging parents, maturing kids (if you have kids), and opportunities to focus on new goals for our next 50 years. I have a book being released in January - Crushing the Cancer Curveball, A Veteran's Guide for the Newly Diagnosed. While no one wants cancer, 1 in 2 Americans and 1 in 4 people worldwide will face cancer in their lifetimes. There's an alternative narrative to the terror, anger and fear that accompanies a diagnosis - a narrative that spawns compassion, confidence, and even joy. I'd love to talk about it with you and your audience.
