So a lot of people celebrate the day that they either finished their last chemo, they celebrate the day or they got the news that they're cancer free. And spoiler alert, it is not the day that you found out that your cancer was in remission. And then as the episode progresses, hopefully we'll see why that day is worth celebrating. I wondered if we could start out you could take me back to that day. But every year your family celebrates a day in your life and in their lives as well. And so I'm excited today to talk with you about the things that you learned from your journey with cancer. But I don't think we've really done much outside of that. And the interesting thing is we did one episode of this podcast with someone who had cancer but was already on hospice and ended up passing away. I'll tell you I wrote a handful of stories I used to write for the Deseret News and I wrote a handful of stories about people that were battling cancer. I'll give my friend Kim Carlile a little shout out for connecting the two of us. Well, I am so excited about this and grateful to. Thank you so much for asking me to share some time with you. This is All In, an LDS Living podcast where we ask the question, what does it really mean to be all in the gospel of Jesus Christ? I'm Morgan Pearson, and I am so honored to have Carine Clark on the line with me today. She has received numerous awards including the EY Entrepreneur of the Year award in the Utah region, and Utah Business Magazine CEO of the Year. She serves on the board of directors of Domo, the executive boards of the Utah Governor's Office of Economic Development and Silicon Slopes, a nonprofit helping Utah's tech community thrive. Carine Clark is currently a venture partner with Pelion ventures, but she is a former three time president and CEO of high growth tech companies specializing in helping companies scale from $100 million to 100 million and more. And now I have to face the possibility that I exit stage left?" But Carine refused to exit the stage without a fight. And I had worked 22 years to raise my two kids.
As she told Deseret News, "I had worked for 20 plus years to build a brand and a presence, something I really enjoyed and was proud of. She was 48 years old when she was told that she had a 20% chance of survival. But Carine Clark's battle with cancer was no joke. She is so funny that she makes an episode about ovarian cancer feel positive and upbeat. Carine Clarke is a very funny person, a very smart, very successful yet very funny person and I appreciated her humor even more listening back to this episode while marking edits.
