Welcome to the series finale of The Cancer Mavericks. In this final episode, we reflect on the first seven episodes through the lens of history and progress with a series of insightful conversations featuring some of healthcare's most influential and visionary voices across the past four decades. If history is a teacher, we have learned that change can happen, albeit slowly. But it is only when the people stand up, organize and activate their voices demanding change, that the culture will shift, the institutions will pivot, and the very system itself will be forced by the will of the citizens to bend towards the arc of justice.

Registration has begun for the 14th Pelotonia, the amazing, fundraising cycling event that has raised $236 million for cancer research at The James. In this episode we talk with Pelotonia CEO Doug Ulman and President Joe Apgar. They describe the new routes, provide some fundraising tips, and give an overview of the new Victoria's Secret and Pelotonia collaboration to award $8.5 million over the next two years to female cancer scientists around the world working on the most-promising research to beat women's cancers, such as breast cancer and uterine cancer. Ulman also fills us in on his recent trip to the White House, where President Biden announced a renewed commitment to the Cancer Moonshot Project that was first announced during the final year of the Obama Administration. “The White House has a really aspirational goal, to reduce the number of cancer deaths by 50 percent in the next 25 years,” Ulman said. “That will save hundreds of thousands of lives and put us on the trajectory to ending this disease.” Some of the statewide initiatives for prevention, screening and genetic testing, funded by Pelotonia and implemented by The James, could serve as national models in the years to come, he added.
A cancer diagnosis sucks no matter what — but factors like income, education, racism, geography, housing, and access to health care, known as "social determinants of health," can worsen the burden. When researchers zoom out from individual experiences and survey cancer survivors, they see patterns called social determinants of health. Individual circumstances such as economic stability, physical environment, racial bias, proximity to a provider, or fluency in that provider's language can influence a survivor's health outcome before any cancer treatment begins. In this episode, we share stories of cancer mavericks who rebelled against the foreshadowing of health disparities. 23-year survivor Mary P. Lovato started a support group at her pueblo in New Mexico that expanded to reach American Indian and Alaska Native tribes across the United States. After learning she had breast cancer at 31, Maimah Karmo made it her mission to advocate for young women, Black women, and those with metastatic disease — and to end health disparities in our lifetime. Finally, health disparities researcher Dr. Carmen Guerra shares how the University of Pennsylvania's Abramson Cancer Center nearly doubled the number of Black patients in its clinical trials.

For decades, the portrayal of cancer in movies and television was grim. If a character was diagnosed with cancer, it was a near certainty they'd be dead by the credits. But, like cancer treatment itself, Hollywood evolved, and many storylines about cancer became stories of survival.In this episode, we ask the question, "Who influences us and why?" From musicians to television stars, film producers to televised cancer screenings, when celebrities lend their voices to raising awareness and fundraising, that kind of star power can move mountains. Join us as we hear from voices such as actor Patrick Dempsey, StandUp2Cancer Co-Founders Katie Couric, Pam Williams, the late Laura Ziskin. Also appearing in this episode: Steven Hoffman (Professor of Global Health Law and Political Science at York University in Toronto, Canada,) Dr. Larissa Nekhlyudov (Director of Internal Medicine for Cancer Survivors at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute,) Kami Kosenko (Professor of Communication at North Carolina State University,) and Milton Kent (Former reporter and sports columnist for The Baltimore Sun).For more information about this series, visit https://CancerMavericks.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Facing a diagnosis of cancer at any age is horrible. But for young adults, it's just plain different. Not better. Not worse. Different. Those diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 39 are on a planet all their own, often left to fend for themselves as lost voices sandwiched between pediatrics and adult cancer. The consequences of living with, through, and, ideally, beyond cancer carries with it a whole host of unique long-term issues, issues that had fallen under the radar and gone ignored by the system for far too long. In this episode, we talk to a new generation of cancer mavericks like Tamika Felder, Heidi Adams, Doug Ulman, and Lindsay Nohr-Beck, who revived a dying national conversation on cancer survivorship in the earliest days of the Internet. They created edgy websites, forced doctors to listen by creating fertility preservation guidelines, and fought to bring the invisible and underserved voice of the young adult cancer community into the national public spotlight.

In just over 20 years, the number of cancer survivors in the United States has doubled to 17 million survivors, each confronting their new (ab)normal lives. From chemo brain to PTSD, medical debt to workplace discrimination, this episode follows survivors along with their unique—and often difficult—paths post-treatment. In this episode, we hear from some of the godmothers of the cancer survivorship movement like Dr. Patricia Ganz and Barbara Hoffman and “everyday mavericks” who are forging ahead into life after cancer.

Advocacy can take many forms in the cancer community — from advocating for yourself or a loved one to receive the best possible treatment to calling your Congressperson or testifying on Capitol Hill to demand increased access to care. This episode explores different ways cancer mavericks have elevated survivors' needs and improved their lives, including the pioneering patient navigation model created by Dr. Harold Freeman at Harlem Hospital, the story of Ellen Stovall's fearless and collaborative approach to policy, shaped around a shared agenda to represent the needs of all cancer survivors, and the landmark 1998 March on Washington called Coming Together To Conquer Cancer.

By the 1980s, cancer was no longer a death sentence. But the question of what surviving actually meant was unanswered. Cancer survivors had to navigate issues around employment, relationships, and the emotional and physical side effects of treatment in a world that largely didn't know what to do with them. (and they were still called “victims.”) In 1985, a young doctor named Fitzhugh Mullan wrote an essay called “Seasons of Survival” about his own experience with cancer. His piece helped popularize the term “cancer survivor” and resonated with a growing number of survivors, who were starting to form support groups around the country. Among them was Catherine Logan Carrillo, the founder of People Living Through Cancer in New Mexico, who asked Fitzhugh to help her convene an “alumni association” for cancer survivors. And they did, during one monumental weekend in Albuquerque.

From battling a deadly disease to caring for a loved one, when we rise up and face life's greatest challenges, we see with a new vision, feel with a greater passion, and think with a deeper perspective. Along the way, paths cross, journeys intersect, and missions converge. For Vince Todd, it was his own cancer diagnosis that led him and his wife, Cindy, to launch the Heroes Foundation to provide meaningful support to cancer patients, education to promote cancer prevention, and resources to advance research for a cure. What started with friends and family grew into a community. The Summits Podcast is an extension of that community. Our stories are what bring us together. Artists, athletes, doctors, business people - we're all family members, community leaders, and activists. Everyone has a story. Anyone can inspire. No one battles alone. Join the conversation.

Brock Yetso is the President & CEO at the Ulman Foundation, one of the original young adult cancer advocacy organizations. Borne in the late 1990s, the Ulman Foundation (formerly the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults) pioneered the very idea of adolescent and young adult cancer as a thing, first and foremost, long before the data and the research manifested in practice. I consider Brock a progenitor and mentor who helped me find my place and my voice before Stupid Cancer was a real boy.Thanks to groups like the Ulman Foundation, 25 years later, young adult cancer is now mainstream oncology — but there's still no short supply of new cancer diagnoses each year, which is why their work continues to this day.

Mary Lasker used to say that more money was spent on advertising campaigns for gum than was spent on cancer research. She'd seen the effects of that almost non-existent budget first hand: she watched people close to her die from cancer, including her advertising exec husband. She was outraged by the lack of money and research devoted to ending the disease. But with her own funds and influence, Mary Lasker rallied the public and lawmakers to take notice, ultimately leading to The National Cancer Act of 1971. This "War on Cancer" brought millions of dollars, but also harsh truths: there was no simple cure for cancer, and the remedies of modern science to control the disease took a devastating toll on patients. Rose Kushner was one of those patients. She questioned the treatments and surgeries that had become the status quo for medical experts. Her pushback helped start a massive change in the patient-doctor relationship as well as in cancer treatment. In Episode 1, we learn how Mary Lasker and Rose Kushner became two of the most important health policy advocates of the 20th century, putting cancer—and cancer patients—front and center.

Most people don't know that you're considered a cancer survivor at the moment of diagnosis. It wasn't always this way. Sixty years ago, a cancer diagnosis was a death sentence. And if you did survive, you were left to figure out the rest of your life on your own.But some survivors demanded something different, something better.From OffScrip Media, this is The Cancer Mavericks, a deep-dive narrative into the people who fought for better treatment, forced doctors to listen, and pushed America to see the human side of the disease. Episodes of this series will publish monthly through the end of December 2021 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the National Cancer Act of 1971.

“We're really excited about 2021,” said Doug Ulman, President and CEO of Pelotonia, the annual bike ride that has raised $219 million for research at the James. There was no ride in 2020, due to COVID-19, but Pelotonia is back, on the road again in August, with routes and safety precautions in place. Ulman talks about the new routes, the Granville and Bexley “experiences,” the changes due to COVID-19, and the tremendous impact of Pelotonia-funded research. “The team has done a remarkable amount of work to think through how things might have to change in order to host a ride,” Ulman said of the 2021 ride. There will be nine, all-new routes. For the first time, some routes will include a ride through Bexley, and multiple routes will travel through Granville, where hundreds of people line the streets to cheer on riders, wave signs and rung cow bells. There are more one-day and two-day options, as well as some shorter routes. “The personal connections and the joy of the weekend,” are the glue that keeps Pelotonia rolling, Ulman said.

This second half of the conversation is going to be about how to create engaged employees through an integrated approach instead of just a financial transaction between a business and an organization. Listen to hear how you can weave purpose and mission into your business — you do not want to miss this conclusion! Thinking beyond transactions Historically, companies that wanted to participate in a cause thought that they had to do it a certain way, and most times it ended up being transactional. They would host a fundraising event or ask the employees to donate, and that’s not bad, but it doesn’t build a lasting culture of engagement. What Doug encourages people to do is think about what assets beyond financial that they have within their business that can be powerful and leveraged — maybe that’s human capital, maybe it’s knowledge and resources, maybe it’s a product. Whatever those assets are, it’s about building an integrated approach to engagement. After all, engaged employees are better employees. Listen to this episode to hear Doug give an excellent example of what it means to think beyond transactions and create a culture of engagement. The Future of Pelotonia Doug shared with me that during 2020, because of the pandemic, he and his team stepped back and did a 5-year strategic plan. Since hosting in-person events during COVID was not possible, it gave them the time to step back and create this strategic plan because they weren’t doing all of their normal events and fundraising activities. Doing this 5-year strategic plan has set Pelotonia on a course to grow significantly. They’ve got a plan to double their impact on an annual basis, not only with participation and fundraising but also with the impact of the research. Doug is hoping to have more clinical trials and more funding for scientists with big, bold, audacious ideas. He’s hoping for a geographical expansion beyond central Ohio as well. The idea is to get more people involved and connected to the cause and to extend the ability to participate to those who maybe care about cancer research but aren’t going to go to Ohio in August to ride a bike.

Do you remember those LIVESTRONG yellow bracelets everyone wore years ago to raise awareness for cancer? Of course you do, everyone remembers the 105 million yellow rubber bracelets that were sold. I talk with Doug Ulman, one of the founders of that organization, and now-CEO of Pelotonia, a non-profit organization that is raising money to aid in cancer research. Pelotonia is a community determined to see an end to cancer. Their mission is to engage, inspire, and challenge a community committed to changing the world by accelerating innovative cancer research. Since Pelotonia’s inception in 2008, over $218 million has been raised to fund cancer research, and 100% of those proceeds have been donated. It’s impressive and inspiring. Doug is responsible for overseeing the strategic vision and direction of Pelotonia and also serves as an advisor to The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. Join us as we talk about social entrepreneurship and community-building on this week’s episode of Relative Profitability! Highlights from this episode What is Pelotonia? [2:22] What was it like at the beginning for Pelotonia? [10:07] Coping with the entrepreneurial grind from a family perspective [12:46] How Doug has gotten through the low points as a social entrepreneur [15:59] Community-building as part of social entrepreneurship [18:48] Thinking beyond transactions [23:50] The future of Pelotonia [29:57] Coping with the entrepreneurial grind from a family perspective At the beginning of any startup, non-profit or not, we put in extra hours to try to get things off of the ground. I asked Doug how he balanced those long hours in the early days with Pelotonia and his family life. He told me that since he loves what he does, it’s hard to consider it “work,” which can absolutely blur the lines between home and work-life even further. During some of the more stressful times, there were days where he’d come home from working 10, 12, 14 hour days and just lay down on the floor and let his kids crawl all over him which helped him to de-stress. He also mentioned that it’s essential to emphasize to his children why it’s important to do work that matters and he shared a story with me about how his daughter knew 2 years ago that he was doing very important work. Listen in to this episode to hear it! Community-building as part of social entrepreneurship It’s human nature to want to be around other people. People want to share experiences and feel like they belong to a community. Our job as social entrepreneurs and community-builders is to provide a platform for people to do something important to them. So how can we give people the chance to do something special that they might not otherwise get the chance to do? How can we bring people together and align them with a common goal, especially in a world that is becoming increasingly fragmented and divided? Listen in to this episode to find out!

COVID-19 has wrecked the main source of donations for many nonprofits, that being, in-person fundraising events. How are nonprofit leaders meeting this challenge head-on? Rob’s guest today is Doug Ulman, the President and CEO of Pelotonia, a 3-day cycling event that aims to raise funds for cancer research. Doug was diagnosed with cancer when he […]

Pelotonia's Doug Ulman tells us all about the new, creative and exciting My Pelotonia platform, which will replace the traditional mass ride this year (due to Covid-19). "This allows people to create their own journeys and challenges," Ulman says, adding My Pelotonia is a way to get even more people involved in Pelotonia and that it will continue even when it's safe to ride together again. Ulman said his My Pelotonia challenge is to ride from Columbus to Cincinnati. What's your My Pelotonia adventure?
Doug Ulman has dealt with several crises in his life, but his upbringing has led him to approach those with the perspective that anything is possible. As a three-time survivor of cancer, that perspective has not only served him well — it’s been proven out time and time again. After overcoming chondrosarcoma during his sophomore year of college and malignant melanoma twice since, Doug and his family founded the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and connecting young adults, their families, and friends who are affected by cancer. Doug is also the President and CEO of Pelotonia, a nonprofit raising funds for life-saving cancer research. What Brett asks: [02:31] Can you share your childhood story and what that looked like for you? [06:26] What kind of influence did growing up with a parent who has an artist have on you? [08:41] What was it like as you progressed through high school? [15:11] Have you had any reflections or thoughts about what this time is making you assess? [18:05] What learnings did you gain from playing soccer at a high level? [21:35] What happened when you got into trouble as a kid? [29:18] Can you tell us the story of when you were diagnosed with cancer? [38:31] What happens after college and how do you get into the career you are in? [44:58] What was your experience working with Lance Armstrong? [53:34] What fueled your decision to move to Columbus? [58:17] What is going on in the future of Pelotonia?

There's an irony about decision-making during times of crisis, Pelotonia CEO Doug Ulman says. "You have to make tons of decisions with imperfect information," Ulman told Columbus Business First in the latest episode of our Crisis Management podcast. "That can be really challenging, but the opposite of that is paralyzation." Ulman is in charge of the annual Pelotonia bike race that attracts thousands, and raises millions for cancer research. Scheduled for August, Ulman's team is weighing how the race can move forward – or adapt – this year in order to comply with health recommendations and mass gathering restrictions in light of the coronavirus pandemic. All the while, Ulman said, the group's mission for cancer research has never been more important. Ulman, a cancer survivor, said throughout his life, he's dealt with a lot of crises, "whether it be personal health crises or professional crises." "But this is the first actual massive crisis that I've dealt with where everybody is dealing (with it)," Ulman said. "The beauty of that, in a sad way is that you don't have to provide any context." But he acknowledged that making decisions in a stressful environment is hard – especially as new information keeps emerging. "You don't want to make big decisions from a position of weakness," Ulman said. The key, Ulman said, is to realize that you can't think short-term or "worry about what people are going to think." "Our filter is, 'is this in the best interest of the community and our mission?" Ulman said. "At the end of the day, that's the decision we're going to make."
