Beating Cancer, Creating The Ulman Cancer Fund, Joining Livestrong, and being the CEO of Pelotonia with Doug Ulman

https://conqueringcolumbus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/EP22.mp3

Summary:

On this episode we were fortunate enough to catch up with Pelotonia’s CEO, Doug Ulman – Doug is a 3x cancer survivor, former collegiate athlete, graduate of Brown University, creator of a very successful non-profit (The Ulman Cancer Fund), former CEO/President of Livestrong, and the current CEO of Pelotonia; not to mention, Doug (which he very nonchalantly drops at the end of this episode) has claimed Mt. Kilimanjaro and ran a 100-mile race through the Himalayas. Over the course of this episode we cover a synopsis of Doug’s life, the ups, the downs, and all of the amazing things he and his team have going on over at Pelotonia in the fight against cancer.
