Originally from Louisiana, Trent Brock is an international small business entrepreneur who introduced, owned, and operated a successful kettle corn business in New Zealand for fourteen years.
Trent is also a three-time terminal cancer conqueror. In 2019, hip cancer surgery left his left leg four inches shorter than his right, with doctors saying he would never walk again. In 2020, lung cancer and in 2021, pancreatic cancer with less than a 5% chance of survival. Five specialists told him he would not make it with one giving him a year to live, they advised him to return to the US for his final day with his family.
Refusing to wait around to die, Trent decided he would not give up or literally die trying. He received life-saving treatment in the US and drastically changed his diet, exercise routine, mental and spiritual mindset. Now, Trent is over three years cancer-free!
After nearly five years using a wheelchair and crutches, he was accepted as a patient into Mayo Clinic in 2023, undergoing four major hip surgeries totaling over forty hours. This culminated in the largest, most complex, fully customized hip implant ever done in the world, featuring groundbreaking procedures to be published in medical journals. Trent began walking in the fall of 2024 with the assistance of his “cool cane” and jokes that he is part-bionic with his “hip-of-the-future.”
Throughout his treatments and recovery, Trent continued to work remotely on his kettle corn business in New Zealand. He completed the sale of his business in February 2024. With a new lease on life and time to spare, Trent became a certified speaker/coach, and patient advocate. He enjoys sharing his inspirational story on podcasts and stages, coaching people through obstacles, goals, or cancer/health journeys. For those who need assistance with the health system, Trent is a passionate patient advocate. And to top it off, he is a two-time best-selling author.
