The Man Who Died Twice, Then Climbed Everest | Sean Swarner

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

Spartan philosophy, built in the black-ops lab of business: https://www.findingpeak.com

Finding Peak podcast: https://linktr.ee/ryan_hanley

Sean Swarner is the only person in history to be diagnosed with two different terminal cancers, lose a lung, and go on to climb Mount Everest and complete the Explorer's Grand Slam.

His story is not just inspiration—it's a tactical guide to dismantling your own perceived limits.

At 13, doctors gave him 3 months to live. At 16, they gave him 14 days. He was read his last rites. He survived. Then he started living.

In this conversation, Sean deconstructs the mindset that allowed him to redefine what is humanly possible. You will learn the difference between success and fulfillment, how to build resilience that lasts, and why your greatest competitive advantage is everything you've already survived.

This is not a story about surviving. It's a story about how to truly live.
