Carlos Perez Speaks inspires resilience and empowers others to face challenges with courage, using his journey as a cancer survivor and physical therapist to motivate growth, and transformation.
Carlos Perez is an in-demand bilingual speaker, bestselling author, and stage 4 cancer survivor who delivers transformational messages rooted in real-life resilience. Born in Puerto Rico and a Florida resident for over 45 years, Carlos has built his platform on one powerful truth: we all have the strength to rise, no matter how dark life gets.
After being diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Carlos faced one of life’s greatest battles. Instead of succumbing to fear, he chose to fight—not just for survival, but for purpose. He endured the physical and emotional toll of treatment, including CAR-T cell therapy, with unshakable determination. That experience didn’t just change his life—it redefined it.
Carlos now shares his remarkable journey to help others find courage, clarity, and resilience in their own struggles. His keynote talks are packed with hard-earned wisdom, practical mindset strategies, and deeply human storytelling that speaks directly to audiences navigating adversity, burnout, fear, or personal transformation.
Fluent in both English and Spanish, Carlos connects effortlessly with diverse audiences across cultural and professional backgrounds. He has spoken to healthcare professionals, cancer support organizations, corporate wellness teams, nonprofit leaders, and Hispanic affinity groups, always customizing his message to meet the emotional and motivational needs of the room.
Carlos brings a unique and trusted voice to the stage, thanks in part to his 30+ years as a licensed physical therapist. His clinical background gives him rare insight into the intersection between physical healing and emotional recovery. Audiences appreciate his authenticity, his humor, and his ability to share deeply vulnerable moments without losing sight of hope.
Whether speaking in person or virtually, Carlos leads with compassion and conviction. He equips people to shift their mindset, overcome overwhelm, and build emotional endurance in the face of health challenges, life transitions, or professional setbacks. His message resonates especially with those facing the long-term impact of illness, trauma, or burnout—and inspires them to reclaim their power and live with renewed purpose.
