About Matthew Zachary
Matthew Zachary, dubbed "The People's Voice in Healthcare" by *People Magazine*, turned a brain cancer diagnosis at 21 into a global movement for patient empowerment. As founder of *Stupid Cancer*, he launched the young adult cancer movement and revolutionized patient advocacy with *The Stupid Cancer Show*, the first healthcare talk radio show in 2007.
His podcast *Out of Patients* and documentary *The Cancer Mavericks* cemented him as the "Podfather of Healthcare." Now, as Principal of Matthew Zachary Worldwide, he leads a media, consulting, and think tank agency disrupting healthcare marketing with bold, empathy-driven storytelling. A Brooklynite with a sharp GenX edge, Matthew’s mission is simple: amplify patient voices, challenge the system, and inspire change.
