About Me

Beating Cancer was Just the Beginning

My name is Steve Terry, and I’m the host of Defied the Odds, a podcast with a mission. I created this space to amplify the voices of people who’ve been through the unthinkable and kept going anyway. Each week, I sit down with guests who’ve faced illness, trauma, loss, or hardship, and I invite them to share their stories of how they came out on the other end — not the polished version, but the truth. I know firsthand what it means to get hit with devastating news and still choose to fight. That’s why this isn’t just another show — it’s a lifeline for anyone who’s been told it’s over and decided, “Not yet.”

Along with the podcast, we have also established Help a Neighbor, a campaign that offers direct financial support to individuals and families facing critical life challenges. Every six months, we choose someone to lift up — not with pity, but with purpose. Whether you’re looking for a powerful story, need a little hope, or want to be part of something that truly matters, I’d love for you to listen in and join the community. Contact us via email at [email protected] and tell us about your story.
