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.

While his teenage classmates were getting ready for school, then-13-year-old Sean Swarner was watching the water rise in the shower, his hair clogging the drain. His first cancer diagnosis—and the subsequent treatment regimen—took an immense toll on his self-image and well-being. That morning in the shower, he remembers, all of the fear and despair overcame him: Sean collapsed to his knees, tears and tap water streaming down his face. “I remember looking at myself in the mirror,” he recalls, “and I couldn't even recognize who was looking back.” After a year of treatment, Sean reached remission. But then, two years later—during a follow-up with his oncologist—Sean and his parents received shocking news. His doctor had found a second cancer: an Askin sarcoma, a rare and aggressive tumor in his chest that eventually left him with only one functioning lung. Worse still, Sean's chances of survival appeared slim. In the years to follow, Sean became the first cancer survivor to summit Mount Everest, before eventually completing each of the world's Seven Summits (the highest mountains on each of the seven continents). That includes three attempts on Mount Denali, the tallest mountain in North America and one of the world's most dangerous—ultimately reaching the summit in 2017. “In my mind,” Sean recalls, “I kind of jokingly thought to myself, ‘If this fool who's had two cancers and has one lung can climb to the top of the world, that might inspire some people.'” In this episode of Your Stories, Sean joins host Dr. Mark Lewis to discuss how conquering cancer shaped his life and set him on a course to complete some of the world's most prized adventuring achievements. He also talks candidly about the motivations behind these achievements and his hope that others will look at his accomplishments and take away a simple message: If a guy with one lung can do it, so can you.

Sean Swarner is a living testament to resilience. Given 14 days to live, he emerged as the first cancer survivor atop Everest, scaling all seven continents' peaks, skiing to both Poles, and completing the Hawaii Ironman World Championship. Beyond milestones, he founded The Cancer Climber Association, wrote “BECOMING UNSTOPABLE: Conquering Your Everest” and is a sought-after speaker. From crawling in a hospital to Everest's summit, Sean's journey inspires globally.Achievements:* 2-Time Cancer Survivor* 1st Cancer Survivor to Summit Mount Everest* 1st Cancer Survivor to Complete the 7-Summits* Has Spoken In Front of Over 1 Million People* Taken Over 1000 People on Adventure Expeditions

BEST MOMENTS "I want people to realize that not everyone's going to climb Everest, but we all have an Everest to climb." "It's never about the finish line. It's never about the summit. It's never about the new car. It's never about the race. It's never about the new house. It's never about that physical stuff. It's never about the goal, because you can always make more money. You can always buy another car. You can always climb another mountain. You can always run another race. If you're looking for those things to make you happy, you're going to be unhappy your entire life." "It always seems impossible until it's done." "If you want something different, do something different." "Just pick one thing that you think has the most control over you and replace it with something positive, something that's going to benefit you as opposed to consuming, create something."

There's a reason Sean Swarner was named one of the "Top Eight Most Inspirational People" of all time. At ages 13 and 16 he was diagnosed with 2 separate, unrelated, aggressive forms of cancer. He spent almost a year of his life in a coma, was given 14 days to live, and even read his last rites. But he did not give up. Not only did Sean shock the entire medical community by surviving both deadly diseases, but he utilized that fighting spirit to become the first cancer survivor to climb to the peak of Mount Everest! The even crazier part? He did it with only one lung!  As if his story wasn't inspirational enough, he went on to become the only person in the world to survive 2 cancers and then complete the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii, the "7-Summits" by climbing the highest peak in every continent, and the Explorer's Grand Slam after skiing to both the North and South Poles. Sean is living proof that nothing is impossible if you just believe in yourself.  To watch his documentary, "True North": https://rb.gy/n5cews  To purchase Sean Swarner's books: https://www.seanswarner.com/books-products/

In this clarity cast, Dallen dives into his conversation with Sean Swarner & highlights the big topics discussed. As a cancer survivor and adventurist, Sean brings a wide array of wisdom and inspiration to the table.  In this episode, Dallen discusses how Sean's unexpected life shifts became his best luck imaginable ("bad good luck"), the power of visualization when it comes to preparing for the unpreparable, how slow actually is fast, putting your ego aside and conquering yourself first, how misery is a form of training, and the motivation that comes through accomplishing one big goal.

Sean Swarner is the only person to ever conquer Everest, 7-Summits, HI Ironman, & the North & South Poles. And he did so following two terminal cancer diagnoses that left him with only one working lung. Sean speaks about how his battles with cancer shaped his perspective on life at a young age and ultimately prepared him for the misery of the mountains. In this episode, Sean speaks about the peace and transformation that comes with climbing to these peaks, and ultimately, the challenge isn't the mountain, it's yourself. A few things that Sean says that really stick out to me are:1 - "I'm cured of cancer but I'm not done fighting it."2 - "Bad luck has been my best luck ever." - In fact, we speak about how "bad luck" found his cancer & also helped him reach the peak of Everest.Sean's LinksInstagramGet Your Name on the HOPE FlagWatch Sean's Amazon Film "True North"

Sean Swarner was the recipient of the Don't Ever Give Up Award presented by the Jimmy V Foundation and ESPN in 2007. He is a two-time cancer survivor who was first diagnosed at age 13 with Hodgkin's Disease and later with Askin's sarcoma. He was given just two weeks to live in 1990 and is believed to be the only person in the world to ever have been diagnosed with both these deadly cancers. Sean told ESPN Radio's Bob Valvano, brother of Jimmy, that he would have been more likely to win the lottery four or five times than to have survived both these cancers. However, he did survive, although he has only one fully functioning lung due to the removal of a golf ball-sized tumor found with the Askin's diagnoses. He graduated from Willard High School in Willard, Ohio, in 1993, and Westminster College in 1997. Sean was featured on ESPN (July 27, 2007) with a 10-minute segment on his life story and struggle. He established his own foundation (The Cancer Climber Association) which promotes cancer awareness and helps raise money for cancer research. He also authored his book Keep Climbing, which recounts his story and journey from the depths of his near-death experience to the peaks he climbed to reach the top of the world 17 years later. On October 11, 2008, Sean completed the Ford Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, HI with a final time of 11:44:15. On May 16, 2002, Sean summited Mount Everest.  Sean Swarner was born on September 2, 1974 in Ohio, United States of America. NEXT STEPS MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST: 1.
