Erik Weihenmayer - https://erikweihenmayer.com/about-erik/ On May 25, 2001, Erik Weihenmayer became the first blind person to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. In 2008 he climbed Carstensz Pyramid on the island of Papua New Guinea, completing the Seven Summits, the highest point on every continent. This accomplishment closed the circuit on a 13-year journey that had begun with his 1995 ascent of Denali. He is joined by a select company of only 150 mountaineers to have accomplished the feat. As word spread about Erik's remarkable achievements, the world took notice; shortly after his summit of Everest, he was honored with a Time cover story detailing his conquest of the world's highest peak. Since then, he has authored multiple books, including his memoir, Touch the Top of the World. Yet for those who had long known him, his propensity for taking on and knocking down the loftiest of challenges came as no surprise. Even as retinoschisis began to rob him of his vision by the age of 14, Erik resisted the idea that blindness would sweep him to the sidelines of life. He established himself as a formidable wrestler in high school, representing his home state of Connecticut in the National Junior Freestyle Wrestling Championship in Iowa. As a teenager, he also discovered rock climbing and a natural dexterity for the tactile aspects of scanning the rock with his hands and feet for holds. After graduating with a double major from Boston College, Erik became a middle-school teacher and wrestling coach at Phoenix Country Day School. Yet it was atop the highest point in North America, the mountain known in the native Inuit language as Denali, where his quest for adventure began to take shape. Erik's triumphs over some of the world's most formidable mountains were fueling a growing aspiration to take the lessons he learned in the mountains to help others shatter barriers in their lives. To advance this idea, Erik co-founded not merely an organization, but rather a movement called No Barriers. The mission is to help people with challenges, all of us to some extent, to turn into the storm of life, face barriers head-on, embrace a pioneering and innovative spirit, and team up with great people to live rich in meaning and purpose. The motto is “What's Within You Is Stronger Than What's In Your Way.” To this aim, Erik continues to challenge himself to live a No Barriers Life and in September 2014 he kayaked the entire 277-miles of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Erik is one of the most inspiring, engaging, and sought after speakers in the world. His presentations engage and inspire audiences by capturing lessons from his life and adventures around the world. Erik's essential messaging focuses on harnessing the power of adversity, developing a guiding vision, and building a strong “rope-team.” Erik sees every new challenge as an opportunity to problem-solve, strategize, and pioneer new ways forward. “I think this is the best time in history, the most precious time in history to be a pioneer, to reach out, to seize hold of adversity and challenges we face, to harness energy not only to transform our own lives but to elevate the world around us.” – Erik Weihenmayer ~~ Call or Text the Podcast Hotline at +1-908-349-1480 Or you can Email us to send in those questions ⁠dan@fourbadeyes.com⁠ or ⁠Anthony@fourbadeyes.com⁠  More about Four Bad Eyes Podcast ► ⁠https://www.fourbadeyes.com⁠  TIKTOK: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@fourbadeyes⁠  INSTAGRAM: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/fourbadeyes⁠   ~~~ More about Anthony Ferraro ► ⁠https://www.asfvision.com⁠  Anthony on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/asfvision⁠  More about Dan Mancina ► ⁠https://www.keeppushinginc.com⁠  Dan on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/danthemancina/⁠  ~~~ 00:00 - intro 00:15 - episode 108 ~~~ Podcast Intro & Outro done by Pete Gustin the Blind Surfer find out more at ► ⁠https://www.petegustin.com⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/anthony-ferraro65/support

Keep Pushing is a non-profit that combines Dan's two passions by introducing the blind/visually impaired (VI) community to the inclusive culture of skateboarding. Through his own journey with vision loss, Dan has found the lack of accessibility in current skateparks. The goal of his foundation is to build the first fully adaptive skatepark and to host skateboard workshops for the blind and VI using what he has learned on the skateboard and through his VRT training. Dan has teamed up with an experienced skatepark design company, New Line. Using New Line's design expertise and Dan's knowledge of adaptive skating to create the safest and most accessible skate park ever! Using adaptive methods, such as increasing the size of obstacles, adding contrast to obstacles, tactile ground, auditory cues for echolocation, 3-D models, and a spacious layout. Once the facility is built Dan plans to host monthly skate workshops and skateboard lessons for local youth/adults who are blind and VI, annual adaptive contests to help push for skateboarding the Paralympics, as well as use park adaptations to influence future public skateparks.  Again more on the Keep Pushing Adaptive Skatepark ► ⁠https://fundrazr.com/f1zZbe?ref=ab_6VqfaF2Sm6X6VqfaF2Sm6X⁠ ~~~ 00:00 - intro 00:15 - episode 95 ~~~ Podcast Intro & Outro done by Pete Gustin the Blind Surfer find out more at ► ⁠https://www.petegustin.com⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/anthony-ferraro65/support
