About this listen

When Bryan Silman was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer, hospice gave him two weeks to live. What followed defied every medical prediction—and became a story no one saw coming.

I Am Warrior is the true account of one man’s refusal to die. Written in collaboration with Misty McConnel and Maryam Farooq, this powerful narrative blends raw memoir, emotional psychology, and lived philosophy. It traces Bryan’s journey from a childhood shaped by loss and discipline, through a high-stakes business career, into a warzone of pain, betrayal, and ultimately, survival.

But this isn’t just a story about cancer. It’s about the mind’s ability to command the body. About legacy, grief, love, and the six internal selves Bryan believes live within each of us. It’s about a man who trained his breath like a weapon, challenged his own biology, and walked out of hospice on his own terms—with a cat named J.R. by his side.

Told with unflinching honesty and quiet wisdom, I Am Warrior is a testament to the power of inner command, and a reminder that the battle worth fighting is always the one inside.
