EFR 492: How a Death Sentence Can Change Your Life with Logan Sneed
More often than not, out of our most challenging moments emerge our greatest opportunities.
It took only 24 hours to turn young Logan Sneed’s entire world upside down. A college athlete and aspiring entrepreneur, a stage-4 brain cancer diagnosis was the last thing Logan ever expected at that point in his life. But that’s exactly what happened following a near-accident on the road when Logan blacked out while FaceTiming his girlfriend.
Together with his strong-willed parents, Logan was able to connect with one of the most sought-after neurosurgeons in the world, who thankfully managed to extract the egg-sized tumor. But just when Logan thought he was in the clear, he was given ten years to live with no word of hope whatsoever.
Even after receiving his “death sentence”, Logan soldiered on, determined to find a solution. He found it when a long-time mentor encouraged him to take up the ketogenic diet, which at the time was still widely unheard of.
Logan went all-in and not only found a new lease on life, but also decided to share his experiences with the world on social media. In spite of a barrage of haters who doubted his story and the legitimacy of his so-called “keto diet”, there were enough people who were inspired by his journey for Logan to realize that he could monetize his growing brand.
Even this wasn’t the end of Logan’s trials. Listen in as he describes the lowest point in his journey so far—even beyond the diagnosis—as well as his betrayal at the hands of a man he once called “mentor”.
But Logan also shares why, when all is said and done, cancer was the greatest thing that ever happened to him, having led him down the path to discovering his purpose and impacting thousands of lives (and rapidly counting) for the better.

Powerful Quotes by Logan Sneed
A lot of people end up listening to all the voices but they don’t listen to themselves.
Confidence is built by action and consistency.
Cancer is bad. It’s killing people. It’s horrible. I hate it. I don’t love it. But, I had it. I can’t go into the past and get rid of it, but I can create something out of that experience.
