058: Sean Swarner - Conquering Cancer (2x) & Everest with One Lung


Listen Later

Sean Swarner is the only person to ever conquer Everest, 7-Summits, HI Ironman, & the North & South Poles. And he did so following two terminal cancer diagnoses that left him with only one working lung.

Sean speaks about how his battles with cancer shaped his perspective on life at a young age and ultimately prepared him for the misery of the mountains. In this episode, Sean speaks about the peace and transformation that comes with climbing to these peaks, and ultimately, the challenge isn't the mountain, it's yourself. A few things that Sean says that really stick out to me are:

1 - "I'm cured of cancer but I'm not done fighting it."
2 - "Bad luck has been my best luck ever." - In fact, we speak about how "bad luck" found his cancer & also helped him reach the peak of Everest.
