Cannabis Advocacy

The severities of both his illness and its treatment led Ethan to experiment with, and ultimately adopt, cannabis as a palliative—despite his doctors denying him prescriptions to medical marijuana. The relative scarcity of safe, controlled options for cancer patients and other sufferers of acute illnesses, compounded by the overwhelming misinformation—in a fast- growing legalized marketplace—about consumption, have spurred Ethan to go public with his story and advocate for common-sense use, regulation, and education of young people. His moderating POV, born out of personal experience and a concern for the public good, puts him at the rational center of an escalating dialogue in the US and internationally.

Ethan's Journey

From playing professional soccer, winning Survivor, co-founding an HIV/AIDS charity, and his battles with cancer, the texture of Ethan’s life story is illuminated in the powerful speeches he gives to groups big and small around the world.

OPPORTUNITY AND CHALLENGE

Ethan’s dynamic motivational speaking style reflects his extraordinary life’s journey. With his remarkable combination of humor, honesty and vulnerability Ethan offers keynotes for young people, the business community and academia alike that emphasizes character, leadership, resiliency and service. Ethan is a recognizable face that delivers deeply felt, meaningful lessons that inspire others to answer life’s opportunities with the strength and the conviction to never let a crisis to go to waste.
