But that's not Erik Weihenmayer's most amazing achievement.
By a long shot.
Not only has Erik been completely blind since he was 14 years old, he's climbed countless mountains, kayaked the Grand Canyon, adopted a son from Nepal, taught school, and started an extraordinary movement to empower disabled athletes to push past their barriers.
I was introduced to Erik through our mutual friend Kyle Maynard (who you remember if you went to Summit of Greatness 2016 or listened to Episode 18).
I knew he'd have extraordinary perspective on life, challenges, and mindset. But I didn't know just how powerful our conversation would be.
