Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a story most people wouldn't survive to tell: Mike Smilo, a Valley Bank market president and multi-industry entrepreneur, was handed a stage four melanoma diagnosis with weeks to live — and refused to accept it.

Mike breaks down how he tracked down an unapproved T-cell therapy trial in Germany that no oncologist would mention, why the system meant to save you often works against you, and how he built the Smilo Foundation to connect other patients with the trials, doctors, and options nobody tells them about.

If you or someone you love has ever heard "there's nothing more we can do," this episode could be the difference between giving up and finding a way. Listen now — it might save a life.
