Summiting Mountains and Kayaking Rivers with Erik Weihenmayer - Blind Adventurer

About this episode

We all face barriers in our lives. And if we are not careful, those barriers can easily rob us of our opportunity to live out our lives to our greatest potential.

Erik Weihenmayer would prove to himself and to the world that blindness is yet another barrier that can be overcome. In 2001 Erik would become the first blind person to summit Mount Everest. He would then go on to climb to the highest point on all 7 continents. And when the mountains became too routine he would turn his focus towards kayaking the world's rivers.

Join me as I sit down with Erik to talk about his adventures, his wins, his losses, and all the moments in between.

A HUGE thank you goes out to Erik and the entire team at No Barriers for helping to remind us all that what's within us is greater than what's in our way!
