Twice told he was out of options.
Twice awake on the operating table.

Logan Sneed built two seven-figure businesses in the years he was told he might not get. He is still in treatment, still paying for it himself, and still building.

His story has run in national business press and been told from two universities, main conference stages and corporate rooms across the country.

Why it lands

It isn’t a survival story. It’s a story about what you do next.

01

It’s happening now

He is in active treatment this month, funding it himself while his insurer refuses. Not a retrospective told from safety.

02

There’s a fight inside it

A patient used AI to challenge his own doctors and was proved right by a genomic test. Your audience will take sides.

03

He’s done the reps

Corporate stages, a top-ranked university, national broadcast and long-form podcasts. No hand-holding through a segment.

04

He takes the hard question

Diagnosis, money, faith, what he’d do differently. Ask the uncomfortable version and he answers it on camera.

The record

A decade, kept in dated entries.

6 March 2016Age 19

The seizure started on the highway.

He was on a video call with his girlfriend when his words began to slur. He was driving eighty-five miles an hour. The car went into a ditch and the fire department cut him out of it.

Drugs, alcohol, steroids — all clean. Then someone ordered an MRI.

Ten hours of surgery. Four of them awake.

The first surgeon offered a choice between losing his speech and hearing, or a short time. His mother walked him out of the building. A family connection reached a major donor, who made one call: find me the best brain surgeon in the world.

The second surgeon said yes, you’ll speak — and we operate in twenty-four hours. Logan answered questions for four hours while a surgeon worked inside his head. The tumour came out completely.

“There’s nothing we can do.”

The pathology came back grade 4. The oncologist gave him a life expectancy measured in single-digit years and offered chemotherapy and radiation. He was nineteen, and it felt like the end of a life that hadn’t started yet.

Then he found the clinical research on ketogenic metabolic therapy and brain tumours, and started the next day — alongside the chemotherapy and radiation, not instead of it.

Chemotherapy, and daily radiation in the mask. Age nineteen.

2016 – 2022The years between

He built a life in the years he was told he might not get.

He documented his recovery publicly, mid-treatment, and it went viral — people didn’t believe the transformation was happening during chemotherapy and radiation. He dropped out of college, moved out on his own, and built a coaching business to $30,000 a month at nineteen.

That became two seven-figure businesses, thousands of clients across more than thirty countries, a book — Thank You Cancer — and stages across the United States. Then seven years of remission ended and the seizures came back.

Walking the hospital corridor after surgery, then back in the gym. The transformation people refused to believe was happening during treatment.

12 February 2026Second resection

He did it again. Awake.

A tumour had grown from nothing to 2.5cm over three years. Another ten-hour operation, another four hours conscious on the table, another complete resection. Pathology came back roughly seventy percent tumour, thirty percent scar tissue from the first surgery.

“Chemotherapy and radiation is all we have. I’m not sure what else we can do.”

What he was told next

2026The part nobody prints

He had to argue with his own doctors to reach the treatment keeping him alive.

He asked about immunotherapy and active trials at his own hospital and was told there weren’t any — he had found several listed on their own website. A second opinion prescribed oral chemotherapy his research suggested was a poor fit for his genetic profile. They disagreed.

Then a genomic test came back and the phone rang: stop the chemotherapy, we agree it doesn’t fit your genetic make-up, we have something else. The test also found Lynch syndrome — and the specific marker that makes immunotherapy a candidate treatment for him.

He had spent months using AI to research his own case. Every time he raised it he was told he was wrong. Every time, they eventually came back and agreed.

On immunotherapy every three weeks, cancer free, and building a company.

Ten thousand dollars a session. Nothing covered — he pays for a policy that covers treatment abroad and it is currently refusing the immunotherapy he spent months fighting to access. He and his family fund it directly, session by session, wherever he has to travel for it.

Between sessions he builds One Story, into which he has put $350,000 of his own money.

In his own words.

Signature talks

Four talks. Four rooms.

01 · Signature keynote

Awake

Four hours conscious during brain surgery. Twice. The full story, and what he did with the years in between.

Diagnosed at nineteen after a seizure on the highway. Two awake craniotomies a decade apart, and two seven-figure businesses built in the years he was told he might not get. What being unable to look away teaches you about fear, presence and control — and why he chose it the second time.

Conferences · Universities · Broadcast · General audiences

02 · Corporate

Persistence After Motivation Runs Out

What actually keeps people going once the feeling is gone — and why it is rarely the ones who felt most inspired.

Not the story: the mechanism. Ten years of showing up when there was no motivation available at all, turned into something a team can use on the Monday after the offsite. Why people confuse wanting it with doing it, and what has to replace motivation when it runs out in February.

Corporate · Leadership · Sales kickoffs

03 · Healthcare

Second Opinion

How a patient used AI to research his own case, was told he was wrong, and was proved right by a genomic test.

He asked about immunotherapy and active trials at his own hospital and was told there were none — he had found several listed on their own website. Then the genomic test came back. What patients are owed, what they still have to fight for, and where AI genuinely helps a clinician rather than replacing one.

The Company I Built Between Surgeries

Self-funded, in active treatment, and what it cost him to get the development wrong.

The world’s first AI journaling system, built from a treatment chair with $350,000 of his own money and no outside investment. Including the part nobody puts in a founder talk: what he got wrong hiring and managing a development team, what that mistake cost, and how you operate when the deadline is not one you chose.

What he is building now

One Story

A paper journal that measures whether you did what you said you would.

You write three actions by hand in the morning and what actually happened at night. A smart pen syncs the handwriting, and the system scores the distance between the two. Two thousand units made, customers in four countries, patent pending — built from a treatment chair between cycles.

For bookers

The questions you were about to email.

What does he speak about?

Persistence, entrepreneurship under a deadline, patient self-advocacy, and AI in medicine. Four prepared talks are listed above, and he will shape any of them to your audience rather than delivering the same hour everywhere.

Can he do it remotely?

Yes, with a broadcast-quality camera, lighting and audio setup. He has done live news, recorded segments and long-form podcasts remotely, and can usually be ready on a few hours’ notice for a breaking segment.

What is the fee?

It depends on format, travel and whether the event is commercial, non-profit or a broadcast booking. Email with the date, the audience and the format and you will get a straight number back, not a brochure.

How much lead time do you need?

For a keynote, four weeks is comfortable and two is workable. For a broadcast segment or a podcast, same week is fine.

What do you need from us?

A confirmed date and running time, the audience and roughly how many, the format, and anything you want him to avoid. For stage work, a lapel or headset mic and the ability to run slides — though he can deliver without them.

Is any subject off limits?

No. Diagnosis, prognosis, money, faith, insurance, what he would do differently — he would rather be asked the uncomfortable version. He will correct the medical record where it matters and does not oversell what treatment did for him.

Can we get photos and a media kit?

Yes. Full speaker and media kit plus high-resolution photography, on request by email, usually the same day.

Booking

Tell him the date. He’ll tell you straight away.

Enquiries go directly to Logan, not to an agency inbox. Include the date, the audience and the format, and you will get a real answer rather than a rate card.
