Sean Swarner's story Sean's first goal was to crawl 8 feet from the hospital bed to the bathroom. A person who, at the age of 16, overcame a second fatal cancer with a prognosis of 2 weeks to live. Due to the therapies, Sean also lost the function of his right lung wing, which means that he only has 50% of his lung capacity.   Two-time cancer survivor Sean Swarner became the world's first cancer survivor to complete the Explorer's Grand Slam-scaling the highest point on all seven continents and then hiking to the North and South Poles. Only a handful of people have ever done it, but no one against the overwhelming odds Sean faced.   To prove the power of the mind with his story, at the age of 26 he climbed Mt. Everest, as the first to recover from cancer. Since then, he has crossed all boundaries, climbing every highest peak on every continent, skiing to the North and South Poles (thereby achieving the title "Adventurer's Grand Slam" as the 7th in history), regularly participating in marathons, Iron Mans and the like tests. Now, at the age of 50, he starts running 7 marathons on 15 November, in 7 days on 7 continents. He went on to Redefine Impossible by climbing 29,035 feet to the top of Mt. Everest with one lung! From there he stood atop the highest point on all 7 continents, skied to the South and North Poles, and completed the Hawaii Ironman.   Sean Swarner has provided invaluable leadership to a global audience, offering his expertise in Personal Leadership, Coaching, Goal Accomplishment, Teamwork, and Perspectives. Drawing from his experiences in achieving historic milestones, Sean imparts wisdom that extends beyond mere success, instead focusing on the profound comprehension of perpetual achievement. His guidance empowers individuals to redefine their personal limitations and transcend their perceived boundaries.   Favourite quote: You can go a month without food, you can live three days without water, but you can't go more than sixty seconds without HOPE. - Sean Swarner It always seems impossible until it's done.

The Big Dipper moves high overhead this evening, with the bowl turned upside down. As you take in the view, link the two stars at the outer edge of the bowl. If you follow that line down toward the horizon, the first moderately bright star you come to is Polaris. Earth's north pole aims directly at the star, so it's also known as the North Star or the Pole Star — it marks true north in the sky. Another north pole stands at about the same height at that hour. It's in Coma Berenices, a faint constellation that's well above Arcturus, a bright yellow-orange star that's low in the east. That spot marks the north galactic pole — the projection of the north pole of the Milky Way Galaxy. The galaxy is shaped like a disk. It's about a hundred thousand light-years across, and about ten thousand light-years thick. If you draw a line through the center of the galaxy, at a right angle to the disk, and project it above the disk, it aims toward Coma Berenices. When we look in that direction, we're looking through a thin section of the Milky Way, so there aren't many really bright stars in that part of the sky. Instead, we're looking into intergalactic space. And in fact, a telescope reveals many other galaxies in that direction. More than a thousand of them form a giant cluster, known as the Coma Cluster — a beautiful collection of galaxies that stands due north.

Welcome to Undaunted, with Robert Swan and NTT DATA. In the 1980s, Robert became the first person to walk to the South and North poles. More recently, he's tried twice to finish his roughly 1,500-mile walk across the entire Antarctic landmass, but devastating injuries stopped him both times. He intends to complete the 97 remaining miles in an expedition he calls "Undaunted: South Pole 2023." In Episode 1, we learn about Robert's original treks to the South and North poles, the physical challenges, excruciating conditions, ultimate success ... and the emptiness that sometimes comes after achieving a momentous goal. We also hear about what came next and how Jacques Cousteau gave Robert a 50-year mission to preserve Antarctica as an independent land reserved for science and peace. In pursuit of this mission, Robert advocates for clean energy as well as sustainable business practices and personal lifestyles. In future episodes, we'll hear more about Robert's expeditions and his mission to save Antarctica by changing the world. We'll also learn how organizations and individuals can begin their own journeys toward sustainability.

We are launching Season 4 with a special series from newsmakers and shakers from Egypt! And then get ready we have an NFT edition, a Dubai edition and SO MUCH MORE.  On today's episode I'm joined by Omar Samra. He's such an amazing personality—both an entrepreneur and as someone who has scaled amazing mountains and peaks in his life. He is the first Egyptian to climb Mount Everest, also is one of 40 known people to accomplish the "Explorers Grand Slam" challenge, which include climbing the highest mountain on every continent, the 7 summits, and skiing to both the South and North Poles. Last year saw the release of “beyond the raging sea”, a documentary which chronicles the maritime challenges he undertook to highlight the plight of refugees crossing dangerous waters. He was in Egypt a few weeks ago and I had a chance to reconnect with him.   Links: Omar's social: Website • Instagram • Facebook • Twitter • YouTube Beyond the Raging Sea • on IMDb Follow Digital & Savvy on Instagram

Nothing has meaning but the meaning you give it.What that means is, you decide how you respond to the circumstances presented to you every day. Do you focus on the money you lost in the stock market or on the lessons you learned and the experience you gained? Do you focus on giving the best presentation of your life or on not making any mistakes?At the end of the day, it's up to you to decide whether you are the victim or the victor of your life. Sean Swarner was diagnosed with two deadly, different, and unrelated forms of cancer, once at the age of thirteen and again at the age of sixteen. His chances of survival were so low, he'd have had a better chance of winning the lottery multiple times with the same numbers!

He went on to redefine the impossible by being the first cancer survivor to climb to the top of Mt. Everest, with only one lung!From there he stood atop the highest point on all 7 continents, skied to the South and North Poles, and completed the Hawaii Ironman. Sean also serves as a source of inspiration as the founder of the non-profit organization, The CancerClimber Association, as the author of the book “Keep Climbing,” and as a motivational speaker to corporations, universities, and other organizations around the globe.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Sean shares how he was able to beat cancer twice, why he chose to climb to the highest peak in the world, and how he is dedicated to helping others tap into their inner power and potential.

In one of my most inspirational episodes ever, I interview Sean Swarner. Sean is a best selling author and coach and has one of the most unbelievable stories of overcoming the odds that I have ever heard.  Sean beat 2 completely different Stage 4 cancers twice. The first time he was given 6 months to live and the second time was only given 14 days to live and was preparing for hospice care. Well guess what.. He beat cancer again even with the odds of doing so being less than winning the lottery 4 times in a row with the same numbers. But his story doesn't stop there…. He went on to become the first cancer survivor to climb Mt. Everest and he did it with only one lung! From there he stood atop the highest point on all 7 continents, skied to the South and North Poles, and completed the Hawaii Ironman. Sean has been interviewed by Steve Harvey, CBS Evening News, Fox & Friends, The Today Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, Huffington Post, and countless more. This is a story about Mind over Matter. It's about never giving up, overcoming limiting beliefs, and never letting anyone tell you when your story is going to end. In this interview Sean also share's incredible insights on how you can train your mind to never let circumstances detract you from your dreams.

Mrs Rosie Stancer is is the daughter of Lady Mary Clayton (1917 – 2014) and the granddaughter of Rose Leveson-Gower, Countess Granville, who was an elder sister of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. She is a world record polar explorer and has participated in numerous extreme outdoor exhibitions around the globe. McVities All Women’s Penguin Polar Relay 1997In 1997, Stancer was one of 20 amateur women selected for a place on the first all women’s expedition to the North Pole, The 'McVities Penguin Polar Relay'. A relay of five teams hauled sleds of up to 150 lbs across 500 miles (800 km) of shifting pack ice in temperatures down to minus 40 °C. After 73 days, the final relay group made it to the North Pole.M&G ISA South Pole Expedition 1999In 1999, Stancer and four others from the first expedition organised and managed their own expedition to the South Pole, The 'M&G ISA Challenge'. Without guides, and with one re-supply, they completed the 700-mile (1,100 km) journey from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole in 61 days. Meteorological data was gathered en route and submitted to the Omega Foundation.Snickers South Pole Solo 2004In the Austral summer of 2003–4, Stancer skied solo and without re-supply to the South Pole on the 'Snickers South Pole Solo 2004' expedition. Hauling a sledge more than twice her body weight for over 700 miles (1,100 km), Stancer reached the Pole in 43 days 23 hours, a day longer than Fiona Thornewill who reached the South Pole a few days before Stancer.[2] During the expedition Stancer gathered both meteorological and physiological data.Mars North Pole Solo 2007In 2007, Stancer attempted to become the first woman to trek solo to the Geographic North Pole.[3] Stancer walked alone for 326 nautical miles (604 km) and 84 days over the surface of the frozen Arctic Ocean before being airlifted from the ice just short of the North Pole. The difficult decision to abandon the expedition was because of the unusually treacherous conditions that year and the fragility of the ice, preventing the pilots of the pick up aeroplane being able to land safely at the final destination of the North Pole.[4]Mars North Pole SoloAlthough the climate forecast may negate this possibility, in future years[5] Stancer will again attempt the last female solo expedition to the North Pole . For this expedition, she will fly from the northern tip of Canada and set off on her epic journey across the frozen Arctic Ocean starting in the Spring. The expedition is expected to last 60 days. If Stancer succeeds, she will be the first woman to reach both the South and North Poles.[6]Taklamakan Anglo-Chinese Expedition 2016/2017In spring of 2017 Stancer will lead the first female-led expedition team to cross the length of the Taklamakan Desert from west to east. The journey will take approximately 10 weeks and cover 1000 km of terrain with altitudes of 1500m and shifting dunes of 450m in height. The Taklamakan Anglo-Chinese Expedition will provide an international opportunity to further the interest and understanding of OBOR One Belt One Road initiative.

You love Christmas and have people around you that believe in Santa? Then, this is not the episode for you. However, we found a way to talk about three different North Poles.

Special Halloween 1 shot Santa has called in the North Poles most deadly assassins to eliminate Jack Skellington. This time we burn the Halloween Town to the ground.

Many of us dream of adventure but never take the risk to step out. Others live for the adventure but feel defeated once they reach the destination. Adventure is a round trip sport that many of us choose to never live. Sean Swarner beat cancer twice as a child but decided to not let the fear of living keep him from actually living. He has gone on to climb Everest, trek to both the North and South Pole, and accomplish the Explorers Grand Slam (Last Degree). But his motivation goes beyond simply accomplishing amazing things. He wants to be a spark of hope to all of those who have been touched by cancer.In today's episode Sean shares his story of overcoming the odds (7,000,000,000 to 1) of surviving cancer, why he wants to bring hope to others, the stories of his adventures, and how you can stop living the safe life to live a life fully lived.

Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday Sean Swarner came to Launchpad studios to meet with Jeff and Erik and speak about his journey beating the odds to become an incredible adventurer and inspiration to so many. With only one functioning lung, a prognosis of fourteen days to live, and being in a medically-induced coma for a year, Sean Swarner is the first cancer survivor to stand on top of Mt. Everest. Sean has broken through defined human limitation in order to redefine the way the world views success. Diagnosed with two deadly, different, and unrelated forms of cancer, once age thirteen and again at age sixteen. Sean astounded the medical community when he survived both. He realized that after defeating cancer twice, no challenge would ever be too great, no peak too high. He has since topped the “7-Summits”and skied both the South and the North Poles. He continues to test his own endurance and inspire and motivate people around the world with his message of hope. He founded the non-profit organization, The CancerClimber Association, and is now an author, speaker, and most recently the feature of the documentary: True North. The episode opens with Sean discussing his childhood. He talks about growing up in the Midwest with a rather typical upbringing, including engaging in sports like running cross country, soccer, and swimming. At age 13, a knee injury that led to complications the doctors ended up finding his first cancer-advanced stage IV Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He was given 3 months to live. His treatment began immediately and this overtook everything in his life. “Our entire lives as a family was on hold.” Coming to terms with his diagnosis was also a challenge. As his hair fell out and he gained weight from the treatments, Sean was suddenly thrust into living a life completely unlike his friends and peers. Constantly in the hospital he was alone and scared. But he had to take stock of his situation: “I could either fight or die.” At age 15, while in remission, a second cancer was discovered - totally unrelated to the first. This one was even more rare and the prognosis was a 6% chance of survival. “The odds are winning the lottery four times in a row with the same numbers.” At that point it would have been easy for Sean to lose hope but he attributes his fighting spirit and the fact that he survived to a number of factors, including: “It was a combination of modern medicine, family support, prayer, and an inner will to not give up...to go one day at a time to make those days become a habit, instead of focusing on the negative.” “I wasn’t focused on not dying, I was focused on living.” This time around, according to his doctors, Sean had two weeks to live. Treatments included more chemo and a medically induced coma. But once he came out the other side he realized he had learned so much about himself and what drives him. Erik asks if he still feels fear or trauma based on his experiences and Sean responds that at least once a year when he goes in for a yearly check up he feels those sensations but realizes that worrying about it ultimately does not do any good. He makes the decision to think positively. For example, from his time as a cancer patient, Sean still uses the power of positive affirmations. Always believing today will be the best day ever for the mere fact that you are still alive. After his teen years, and recovering from two cancers, Sean headed to college. He changed his course a few times which he discusses. Realizing he wanted to help others touched by cancer - to provide them hope, he decides to climb Mt. Everest. He knew that if someone who had overcome cancer reached the top of the highest peak in the world it would be a huge beacon of hope for so many people around the world who were struggling with their own illnesses. So, with one functioning lung, Sean started training. He was living at sea level in Florida but despite his location and the doubts of almost everyone he knew, he poured his heart and soul into his effort. Nine months later he was at Everest basecamp, ready to make his way up the mountain. Sean treated every step along the way as a new PR (Personal Record) and felt blessed with each passing day. Jeff and Erik discuss the various physical difficulties they personally encountered on Everest and how Sean had similar experiences, but his were only amplified by having just one lung. Despite it all, Sean reached the summit on a beautiful day, surpassing everyone’s expectations. Erik and Jeff want to know how Sean builds this positive mindset; how he was able to channel his focus. Sean discusses the significance of having folks who are struggling with cancer cheering him on from all around the world. Cancer patients can't just take a day off. For Sean, that was the ultimate push forward. When Sean returned he was hoping his message would catch on in the media but he realized he had to do even more. He ended up doing the “Grand Slam” of adventures and then started visiting hospitals around the globe to meet patients with cancer. He formed relationships and kept in contact with so many folks to pass along his message of hope. Jeff continues to probe into Sean’s psyche. How does he live the way he does? How doesn’t he let his circumstances get him down? Sean talks about making “micro-changes” in his life and also always having gratitude. After all, it was his conditions that led to the trajectory of his career and have enabled him to help so many others. “So many people are fixated on what’s comfortable. Life begins outside your comfort zone but fear holds them back.” Sean put together a program that includes micro-changes that was created for cancer patients but is applicable to anyone. The changes help you tap into what is your value system and to stay true to that vision. The link is at the bottom of this show description. Sean now speaks to groups to spread his message of hope, has authored a book, is starring in a documentary, has created his 7 day (free!) program for cancer patients, and most importantly co-founded his non-profit: The Cancer Climber Association. Sean continues to advocate for others. Please check out his latest cause as part of The Cancer Climber Association in the links below.

At the time, it seemed a pretty lofty goal; to climb out of the hospital bed and crawl eight feet to the bathroom. A simple task by most standards, but not when you have life-ending cancer. Compare that moment to being just eight feet from the summit of Mount Everest. In contrast, the eight feet to the bathroom was probably more difficult when your body is not up to the task. It's all relative now, isn't it? At just thirteen years old, Sean Swarner was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin's Lymphoma and given weeks to live. At sixteen years old, Sean was diagnosed again with cancer, this time it was Askin's sarcoma, one of the deadliest forms of cancer, and was given fourteen days to live. Sean Swarner Battling Cancer "Located in the lining of my right lung, just under the ribs. It was bad enough that the same day they aspirated it to perform a biopsy, and they decided they had to crack my chest open and take out the tumor," said Sean. "When I awoke I was told I had a 6 percent chance of survival and was given 14 days to live." "The crazy part is the two cancers are unrelated,' says Sean. "As far as I know I am the only person to ever be diagnosed with both cancers." The even crazier part is that Sean Swarner does not follow protocol or rules of life or death for that matter! Sean redefined Impossible by becoming the only person in history to climb the highest mountain on every continent, trek to the South & North Poles, and complete the Hawaii Ironman - all with one lung. “Every morning I wake up I tell myself this is the best day ever.  I believe it. I mean, looking back at my life, how could I not?” Sean Swarner is a living lunatic, I mean legend. An incredibly uplifting talk you'll enjoy the first time and every time you listen... The story continues on the Brink of Greatness Podcast… Sean Swarner at the North Pole The Next Leap Forward “THE HUMAN CONDITION CAN SUSTAIN ITSELF FOR ROUGHLY THREE DAYS WITHOUT WATER, BUT NO HUMAN ALIVE CAN LIVE FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS WITHOUT HOPE.” Every year, Sean gives a cancer survivor hope – as a guide and positive companion to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. “Taking people up Kilimanjaro, I see a transformation, it gives them the tools to say, ‘Hey if I can conquer that mountain, I can do anything.” Swarner shines a light for other cancer survivors through his foundation, the Cancer Climber Association. I first wrote about Sean Swarner a few years back when I first started blogging about some of the coolest people on the planet. That first story on the Brink of Greatness is entitled, Sean Swarner Goes From Cancer to Seven Summits.

It probably explains why his favorite book right now is The Anatomy of a Superhero

Today our expert guest is Sean Swarner, an inspirational speaker, author, and adventurer – and the only person who has been diagnosed with both Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Askin Sarcoma.   Sean's life really began when he was 13-years-old and received his first cancer diagnosis: advanced fourth stage Hodgkin's Lymphoma and only three months to live. Then, when Sean was 16, he was diagnosed with Askin Sarcoma, and told he only had 14 days to live.   However, as you can probably tell, Sean is still alive many years later (although he's down one lung and doesn't remember much of being 16).   Medical science certainly helped, but Sean believes that mindset is what really made the difference: “You pretty much get what you're focused on. If you're focused on not dying, then you're going to die. If you're focused on living, you're going to live.”   With support and the right mindset, Sean has managed to make a habit out of redefining possibility; he climbed the highest mountain on every continent, trekked to the South and North Poles, and completed the Hawaii Ironman – all with one lung.   The 7 Summits of Success   “When somebody tells me I can't do something, it's almost like adding fuel to the fire.” –Sean Swarner   Sean is sharing his journey to accomplish what was once considered impossible in a seven-part eBook series called The 7 Summits of Success.   In book one, EVEREST: Being Unstoppable, Sean shares the proven tips and tools he used to go from the hospital bed to the top of the world – Mt. Everest. You can download EVEREST for FREE by going to seanswarner.com/books-products.   Paying it Forward   Sean founded the CancerClimber Association in 2001, and they've been offering hope through inspiration ever since. Their mission is helping those touched by cancer by focusing on living an active, healthy lifestyle.   Every year, Sean brings a cancer survivor to Africa to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro (another one of the seven summits, and he hopes to build an Adventure Mobile Camp that he can tour to children's hospitals around the world.   You can help support Sean and the CancerClimber Association at CancerClimber.org.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway   “We're human beings, not human doings.
