This week’s guest on the Better Human Project is music industry veteran and philanthropist Jeff Castelaz.
While Jeff’s day job includes managing the Dropkick Murphys, he’s on the BHP for his humanitarian efforts and to share his son, Pablo’s story.
Jeff’s son Pablo lost his battle to cancer at the age of 6. Now, through the charity that bears Pablo’s name, The Pablove Foundation, Jeff is helping thousands of families cope with pediatric cancer.
In this powerful episode, Jeff talks about music, cancer, our true purpose here, authentic expression, connection and healing. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.
