Personal Details

Bio

Sean was voted one of the top 8 most inspirational people in history. He is a multiple world record holder, Emmy-nominated Amazon Film subject, and has been featured on ESPN, CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, CNN, as well as countless other domestic and international shows. He is the only person in history to climb Mt. Everest, the highest mountain on every continent, ski to both Poles, and complete the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon – all after surviving 2 terminal cancers, a 14-day prognosis, year-long coma, and with only one lung.

Sean will take you through a dynamic, custom-tailored, immersive audiovisual presentation, where he will guide you to the top of the 29,035-foot giant that is Mount Everest. With detailed insights into surviving hurricane-force winds and crossing crevasses thousands of feet deep on rickety aluminum ladders, you will venture alongside Sean into the grueling journey of his youth and witness his fight for survival as he overcomes two bouts of terminal cancer. You will also trek with Sean as he takes you to the highest peaks in Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.

Sean takes you on a journey that is not only inspiring, but offers a message of hope and resilience that taps into that motivational adrenaline rush running through all of us. Sean reveals a life of limitless possibilities as he details the seemingly impossible boundaries he has conquered, battles he has fought, and peaks he has climbed; all motivated by an astonishing inner strength and super-human like physical endurance.

Sean has lead millions of people around the world with his expert guidance on Personal Leadership, Coaching, Goal Accomplishment, Teamwork, and Perspectives. Incorporating tips and tools used to make history, Sean guides you not to only to success, but to the underlying deeper understanding of utilizing your Personal Core Values to help you Redefine YOUR Impossible.
