FoS Sean Swarner

?? The FUTURE of SPACE (FoS) video podcast, hosted by Daniel Fox, is a candid and informal conversation between Fox and leaders, investors, innovators, educators, celebrities, movers and shakers, who are shaping the future of humankind into outer space and here on Earth. Just like how two friends would chat and philosophize together, with one thing missing, a glass of wine! ??

Our Guest today is SEAN SWARNER . After beating two terminal cancers, defying a 14-day prognosis, and awakening from a year-long coma, Sean went on to achieve the extraordinary. He summited Everest, conquered the highest peaks on all seven continents—including Antarctica—skied to both Poles, and completed the grueling Hawaii Ironman World Championship. And he did it all with just one lung. Sean is the founder of The CancerClimber Association (CCA) and author of "BECOMING UNSTOPPABLE: Conquering Your Everest".
