In this lively and insightful episode of Out of Patients, host Matthew Zachary sits down with Mariana Arnaut, Founder and CEO of The After Cancer, a groundbreaking platform helping cancer survivors navigate the uncharted waters of life post-treatment. Joined by his sharp and witty Chief of Staff, Jen Ramprasad, the trio dives into the gaps in survivorship care, the rise of "cancer retail," and the moral dilemmas of monetizing support services for the cancer community. Mariana also shares the story behind Cards Against Cancer, a clever spin on the popular party game that has sparked meaningful—and sometimes hilarious—conversations within the cancer survivor community. From the challenges of living in Portugal to the wild world of U.S. healthcare, this episode is a mix of humor, humanity, and hard truths.

What happens when two fresh-faced Gen Zers—Matthew Zachary Worldwide Chief of Staff Jenisa Ramprasad and Marketing Intern Lauren Woodring—sit down with a cranky, nostalgia-fueled Gen Xer (ahem, Matthew Zachary)? Chaos, hilarity, and surprisingly deep insights.

This is not your typical Out of Patients episode.

What started as a casual, unscripted chat turned into a generational therapy session touching on everything from floppy disks, cassette tapes, and AOL chat rooms to TikTok-induced existential crises and frenetic media consumption with no "ohio baby gronk rizz" or "skibidi toilets". (Whatever that means)

Why are Gen Zs so quick to cut off friends? Can you really form deep bonds with someone you've never met in person?

And what was the deal with Blu-rays anyway? (Thank you, Producer Kyle Moore, for your added insights) We tackled all the questions, shared plenty of laughs (awkward and intentional), and even found common ground in our shared love for real, human connection.

If you've ever felt caught between the "back in my day" crowd and the "why does everything move so slow?" generation, this episode is for you.

Prepare to channel your inner dope/phat/fresh inner teenager while cringing to pop culture mansplaining, and maybe even feel inspired to unplug for a minute (but only after you finish listening, of course).

These famous 14.5-year-old personalities are here to make you laugh, reflect, and maybe even sing the alphabet incorrectly (spoiler: they hate the new version).

Whether it's Koby’s law class revelations or Hannah’s set design dreams, this episode captures the chaos, charm, and brilliance of two teens navigating life—and making their dad immensely proud. Prepare for laughter, nostalgia, and some genuine moments of gratitude that will leave you smiling. So, tune in for the podcast episode, which is as much a gift to listeners as it is to the proudest dad in podcasting!
