If you know the name Dan Meyer, it is because he is the world’s foremost expert on sword swallowing.  He has had several appearances on America’s Got Talent, he has a famous Ted Talk, and he even has an IG Nobel Prize for his work documenting injuries sustained while swallowing swords.  What people don’t know is that for as impressive as this body of work is, it pales in comparison to his lifelong pursuit of thromes.  After surviving a bout of malaria, he vowed to make the most of life and has lived on an island, on a boat, visited the 7 wonders, and has seen Mt. Everest at dawn.  We discuss his unbelievable journey, and even learn how he got the nickname “Curly”, and no, it’s not because he loves the Three Stooges.
