How Can You Help Someone Who Has Cancer

at 57:45

From the episode: Submittable CEO talks startups, life, cancer and living in Missoula, Montana.

Answer

First, don't ask what you can help with. That simply puts the burden of creating and scheduling work onto the sick person and their family. Instead, just do. Bring food, mow their lawn, rake some leafs. The best you can do is show up, do it, and leave without asking for attention.
