Jake Bailey first became a household name almost ten years ago.
He delivered his head boy speech at Christchurch Boys' High in 2015 just a week after being diagnosed with an extremely aggressive form of cancer, and his inspirational words went viral.
Told that without treatment, he had maybe two weeks to live, Jake went through three months of intensive treatment, and five years knowing the cancer could return, before being declared cancer free while still in his early twenties.
Remarkably, Jake says he came of out of it all a much happier person than before cancer.
He turned his experience into a book, became an inspirational speaker around the globe, and has studied positive psychology.
His second book, The Comeback Code, is out today.
He speaks to Kathryn.
