About this episode

What do you do when doctors pronounce you dead with only 14 days left to live? In this powerful episode, Kris Krohn sits down with Sean Swarner, voted one of the top eight most inspirational people on the planet, to explore his miraculous story of surviving two separate, terminal cancers and going on to conquer the 7 Summits, the North and South Poles, and the Hawaii Ironman World Championship with only one functioning lung. Sean and Kris break down the psychological mechanics of overcoming fear, visualization practices that turn impossible goals into reality, learning to be comfortable in the uncomfortable, and why living a life of purpose means taking calculated risks to inspire others.
