Anyone who follows the personal development niche has probably heard of M. Curtis McCoy. You may have seen videos of the influencer in flashy cars or on luxury estates but today, we’re digging deeper into his story.

After being diagnosed with brain cancer and given only 2-3 months to live, this man not only recovered from a terminal diagnosis but now he’s launched a number of successful companies. He’s written multiple best-seller books and speaks at global venues while attracting millions of loyal followers. Now, he’s using his fame and celebrity to help his fans reach a global audience as well!

Curtis grew up fighting Type-1 diabetes and temporarily lost the ability to speak or communicate as he fought to survive brain cancer. Frequent seizures and memory loss were only part of the problem. After being given a 0% chance of survival, McCoy’s family took him for alternative treatment at a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico.

Economically drowned, left with little hope of survival, and unable to remember minor events, such as if he had taken his insulin shots, he lost the ability to drive, live alone, or even travel to the grocery store without assistance.

Instead of losing hope and giving up, or succumbing to a helpless attitude, he began working again to regain and even surpass his previous success. Before being diagnosed with brain cancer, McCoy owned a number of companies in various industries including medical, retail, technology, software development, fashion, and even health and fitness ventures.
