Meet Our Keynote Speaker

Bryan Bishop: Podcaster, Author & Brain Tumor Survivor
Bryan is a 14-year brain tumor survivor and American radio and podcasting personality, known for his career with “The Adam Carolla Show.” In May of 2009, Bryan publicly shared to fans and followers that he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor—just two months before his wedding.
Bryan inspired fans by sharing his experience in the New York Times best-selling book, “Shrinkage: Manhood, Marriage, and the Tumor That Tried to Kill Me,” published by MacMillan in 2014.
Bryan has spoken at companies including SpaceX, Genentech, Stupid Cancer, and has served as a brain tumor community advocate in a variety of different roles.
A native of the Bay Area, Bryan now lives with his wife, Christie, and daughter, Tessa, in Los Angeles.
