Jeff Glasbrenner: First American Amputee to Climb Everest (ep. 766)


Listen Later

Jeff Glasbrenner is a three-time Paralympian, two-time wheelchair basketball world champion, 25-time Ironman finisher, and the first American amputee to summit Mount Everest. And yet, beyond the titles and the records, Jeff is a man who's said yes to life again and again, even when the odds were stacked against him.

Today, Jeff shares what it really means to overcome adversity, achieve the impossible, and say yes to big, mighty goals. He opens up about the farm accident that took his leg at age eight, the lessons from his father, the gift of finding purpose through sport, and resilience he's learned from his daughter Grace in the face of her own medical challenges. From breaking sports records to skiing to the South Pole, Jeff's story is packed with powerful lessons... and a whole lot of heart.

My friends, if you've ever felt held back by your circumstances and seek to find significance in the struggle, this conversation is for you. Jeff reminds us that we each have our own Everest, and with enough courage, community, and belief, we're capable of climbing it.
