Today Nely is joined by the incredibly inspiring Diana Nyad, the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without the aid of a shark cage, swimming over 100 miles in fifty-three hours. Diana's life is the subject of the Netflix critically acclaimed NYAD that is already an award-season darling. In this conversation, Diana tells Nely the stories behind how she built up her determination, fearlessness and passion for life. This conversation is filled with lessons any one can use (at any age!) to follow their biggest dreams.
