Apex Interview: From Chemotherapy to Spartan Races w/ Dom Dundee and Jan Almasy

The Apex Podcast

In today's interview, Jan sits down with Dom Dundee, one of the original members of the JJD Thoughts blog. For those of you that are unaware of Apex Communications Network's history, the JJD Thoughts Blog was a blog dedicated to mental, physical, and spiritual health written by Jan Almasy, Dom Dundee, and Jacob Sowers.
Although the original blog crew broke up, all members have stayed close friends over the years, and have consistently provided inspiration to Jan as he built Apex. In this episode, Jan and Dom get the chance to catch up on life over the past three years.
From reminiscing on powerlifting together in college to Dom's cancer journey and Jan's trip to Uganda - this is an emotional and wisdom-packed episode you won't want to miss.
A huge thank you to Dom for being willing to share his journey with us. If you'd like to support Dom on his journey to raising funds for Cancer Research by competing in Spartan Races, click here.
Message from Dom:
I’d be remissed if I didn’t name some specific people who really helped me in this journey. With this being first time I went real public with my full journey, I’d like to publically thank those people.
My parents: moved into my 2 bedroom apartment for a year and half to help with my treatment. My dad was with me through every single chemo treatment and was my rock on the hardest days. My mom was the example being a cancer survivor and also gave me a shoulder to cry on. Nothing I say will ever put into words how blessed I am for them.
Katie Gilinsky, Alex Gilinsky, Jane Zentko, Janet Liffko McLeod, Diane Pavlic Zentko, and rest of my Florida family: the care packages, prayers, and texts were constant. I can't see you all in few months and celebrate.
Rose Tupta and Laura Dwyer : my nurses and two of my closest friends. They talked me off more ledges than I can even count.
Sam Heredos, Abbi Heredos, John Horvath Jr., Sean Sekola, Sarella Sekola , Chad Nasci: Some of my longest time friends who didn’t flinch a second in their support for me.
Elaina Tatro, Kyle Barkhurst, Charity 6 Foundation : gifted me signed Browns jerseys for my birthday that brought a smile to my face when smiles were hard to come by.
Nicky Kozenko Vojtush, Ryan Peter Vojtush, Erica Jean : thank you for supporting from a work stand point and never flinching in support as friends.
