Real Stories. Practical Lessons. Meaningful Conversations.
Life rarely follows the plan we imagined. After an unexpected cancer diagnosis changed the course of retirement, family life, and the future, Jonesing for the Journey became a platform built around one simple idea: Ask One More Question.
Mike speaks from lived experience about advocacy, resilience, leadership, caregiving, purpose, and what happens when life forces us to rewrite the road ahead.
LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR EVENT
WHO MIKE SPEAKS TO
Built for Audiences Navigating Change, Challenge, and Purpose
What Audiences Can Expect
Mike does not speak as a clinician or medical expert. He speaks as a patient, husband, business leader, advocate, and someone who has had to make difficult decisions with incomplete information.
His goal is not to tell audiences what to think. It is to encourage them to ask better questions, participate more fully in important decisions, and move forward with greater clarity when certainty is unavailable.
About Mike
Mike Jones is the founder of Jonesing for the Journey, a patient-advocacy and storytelling platform focused on cancer, caregiving, resilience, hope, and navigating life’s unexpected detours.
After being diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer at 59, Mike began documenting the realities of treatment, recovery, advocacy, and the impact a serious diagnosis can have on an entire family.
His message centers on a simple belief:
“Sometimes you have to take an active interest in your own rescue.”
