About this listen

What do you do when life throws its hardest punch—right in the middle of leadership, parenthood, and purpose?

In this honest and hope-filled episode of TheUPside, Theresa Flood sits down with her husband, Tommy Flood, to revisit the year everything changed: the moment he was diagnosed with cancer in 2014. With twin toddlers at home and a demanding new leadership role at Keller Williams, Tommy chose to keep showing up—not perfectly, but powerfully.

You’ll hear:

  • The chemo brain moment that almost cost him a recruit


  • How faith and humor shaped his healing


  • What it means to lead transparently through crisis


  • Why community was the secret weapon he didn’t see coming


  • And the truth about juicing, bell-ringing, and hot tub excuses


This isn’t just a cancer story. It’s a story about choosing life, choosing people, and finding joy—even in change.
