My friend wrote a book, while battling brain cancer!
Friday, November 29, 2024
I met my friend @JamesMayes.bsky.social about a dozen years ago at a local chapter of TEDx in Brighton, where I used to reside during my university studies and the early stages of my career.
We quickly connected due to our shared heavy social media usage and mutual attraction towards good food & drinks, good people, and a passion for technology. Since then, we’ve been friends, and I’m grateful to have him as both a friend and a mentor in my professional life.
Over the past year, James has been battling brain cancer. On top of this life-altering diagnosis, he’s been incredibly busy. Since last year, he’s been involved in the following endeavors:
- Launching a startup,
- Documenting his battle with cancer while launching a company in a newsletter,
- Converting the past decade of his professional life into a book called “Meetup to Millions”!
Needless to say, for community-oriented individuals like myself, this book is already a must-read. I was fortunate enough to read early chapters a while back and eagerly anticipate delving deeper into the book.
