Sean Swarner is considered by many to be one of the top 10 most inspirational people in human history. He is a survivor of not 1 but 2 advanced stage cancer diagnosis, a year long coma and the removal of one of his lungs.
With only one functioning lung, a prognosis of fourteen days to live, and being in a medically-induced coma for a year, Sean Swarner is the first cancer survivor to stand on top of the world... Mt. Everest. Sean has broken through defined human limitation in order to redefine the way the world views success.
Sean was diagnosed with two deadly, different, and unrelated forms of cancer, once at the age of thirteen and again at the age of sixteen. After an incredibly poor prognosis, and being read his last rites, Sean astounded the medical community when he survived both these brutal diseases. He realized that after defeating cancer twice, no challenge would ever be too great, no peak too high.
Sean proved his theory when he crested the peak of Mt. Everest. As the first cancer survivor to do so, Sean decided to continue climbing and has since topped the highest peaks in Africa, Europe, South America, Australia, Antarctica, and North America, thus completing the “7-Summits”. Upon skiing to both the South and the North Poles, Sean completed the Explorer’s Grand Slam.
With the completion of the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii, Sean is the only person in history to accomplish these inhuman feats.
Sean shares his message of healing, hope, and triumph with cancer patients worldwide. He serves as a source of inspiration as the founder of the non-profit organization, The CancerClimber Association, as author of the book “Keep Climbing,” and as a motivational speaker to corporations, universities, and other organizations around the globe.

Travis Hawkes is the founder of Travis Hawkes Media and the co-host of the "Struggle to Strength" podcast on Apple Podcasts. I met Travis when the vape company he was a field marketing executive for, sponsored an event a company I partnered in was producing. We stayed connected and after seeing he had shifted directions during the pandemic, starting a career in digital media which 12 months later is thriving, I wanted to bring him on to share how he did it.
We talked about old stories from working in the California cannabis space, his journey building his brand and company during the pandemic, and dove a little deeper around drones, which he is an FAA licensed drone pilot.
Great episode if you are an entrepreneur or looking to start a business in the future. Thanks for SUBSCRIBING & SHARING!

On episode 50 of the podcast, my youngest brother, Jake joined me for a fun and insightful conversation which outlined his reality of growing up the youngest of 4 boys in a small Pennsylvania town.
After making the move to southern California almost 4 years ago, he is now working for a cannabis tech company in Orange County and has spent his time away from familiar faces and storylines to grow his understanding of himself.
This episode hits on personal growth, the importance of thinking for yourself and some fun stories from our past that even I had forgotten about.

Ryan Michler is the host of the "Order of Man" podcast and author of "Sovereignty: The Battle for the Hearts & Minds of Men" who has spent the past 6 years highlighting shining examples of men and discussing some of the most taboo topics with them. His book examines the ongoing battle men are engaged in around the call to masculinity and outlines a framework to combat it.
We talked about the differences between being male, a man and someone who puts these characteristics to work for good in their lives.
He was a great guest and I really enjoyed my conversation with him. You can follow Ryan and his podcast on social media @ryanmichler & @orderofman

Eben Britton is a former NFL football player turned Yogi who is the host of The Eben Flow podcast and former co-host of Hotboxin with Mike Tyson.
These are the conversations I live for and why I call this show The Curious Jones Podcast. The mysteries of the universe and how our actions, even on the smallest level, impact everything around us has always been something I wonder about. This episode covers a recent trip Eben took to Montana to reconnect with himself and nature, discussions about living consciously versus unconsciously, the impact our breathing patterns have on our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and some deep discussion on God and spirituality, and the attempt to remove it from society.
If you enjoy it make sure you share this episode with your friends who will appreciate it and make sure you subscribe and leave a review of the episode on your listening platform.

Lucas Ighile is a Creative Director and former music producer who I met via social media during the pandemic. Sharing multiple interests and having several interesting conversations over the past 6 months got me very interested in having a conversation with him and thankfully he agreed to come on the podcast.
We talked about his journey from moving to the states, college, career and before we knew it had dove into social media and its effects on society, aliens and the vast cosmos we look into every night and some extremely trippy conversations around quantum physics, the double slit experiment and some new and interesting simulation theory perspectives that haven't left my mind since we talked about them.
I really enjoyed this conversation and if you do as well make sure you SUBSCRIBE to the podcast and leave a review! Follow along on social media as well @thatcuriousjones & @curiousjonespodcast for more!
