Cancer Can Rock is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing musicians battling aggressive cancer with a unique opportunity: a fully funded day in a professional recording studio. These musicians are supported by experienced engineers, producers, and fellow musicians to create, record, and distribute their original music, along with music videos and interviews. The goal is to provide a lasting legacy for the artists and their families, regardless of their prognosis, by capturing their musical expressions. Founder Jim Ebert and supporters like Art Alexakis of Everclear emphasize that the organization directly benefits the artists, offering them a special and memorable experience.

Jessica Berg's commitment to women's empowerment and advocacy through education and community engagement is inspiring. In the podcast we focus on the "Rise To" summit, an annual event she organizes to connect students with leaders and activists, fostering awareness and action. The summit empowers students to use their voices. It serves as a platform for women to come together to learn, advocate, and gain power through bonding. The Rise To Summit helps attendees chart a course to find hope and live in the power of a community to overcome obstacles.

The Rise to Summit event is held at Rock Ridge High School in Loudoun County, Virginia. The date is March 22, 2025. Doors open at 9am. Lives start to change at 9:01 am
