Daven Michaels - August 4, 2026

What does it really mean to be unstoppable?

In this episode of the Puerto Rico Business Broadcast, I sit down with Sean Swarner, one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met. After surviving two terminal cancers, losing the use of one lung, and being given virtually no chance of survival, Sean went on to become the first cancer survivor to summit Mount Everest. He didn’t stop there—he also completed the Seven Summits and ran seven marathons on seven continents in seven days.

We dive into the mindset that carried him through unimaginable adversity, the power of purpose, why hope is the greatest survival tool we have, and how embracing discomfort can completely transform your life.

Whether you’re facing a personal challenge, building a business, or simply looking for inspiration, this conversation will remind you that your greatest limitations are often the ones you place on yourself.
