Maintaining a Fighter’s Mindset While Battling Disease | Corey Coopersmith

This week’s conversation is special. It’s heavy, it’s rich, and it will change you. It’s a two-parter, recorded on two separate occasions, about a year apart.

It’s with Corey Coopersmith, known professionally as PunkTheBunny - he’s a singer/songwriter and producer.

Born and raised in New York, Corey was a competitive grappler and MMA fighter prior to embarking on his journey with music.

For some background, I worked professionally with Corey, over a decade ago, in his MMA days. And let me tell you, he may not be doing it professionally anymore, but he IS a fighter. That’s just who he is.

In March of 2020, Corey was hit with COVID19 and it left him with chronic symptoms... for over a YEAR.

Part 1 of this episode was recorded in January of 2021. At that point, he had been suffering symptoms from “long haul COVID” for 10 months already... or so we thought.

Even after we recorded Part 1, Corey kept getting sicker and sicker, and no one could figure out why.

We stayed in touch after our conversation and then I connected him with one of our Finding Mastery guests, Dr. Fajgenbaum, - a ground breaking immunologist out of the University of Pennsylvania.

In Part 2, we catch up and dive into what Corey’s journey has been like over the past year. I don’t want to say too much and spoil his amazing story, but his fighter mindset and insights shine through.

I’m so honored to introduce Corey to you.
