Legendary swimmer and endurance athlete, public speaker, author and journalist, Diana Nyad, is the featured guest this week on the Impact Podcast with John Shegerian to share insights on her remarkable career and the philosophy behind her accomplishments and success.

On September 2, 2013, at the age of sixty-four, Nyad became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without the aid of a shark cage, swimming 110.86 miles in fifty-three hours from Havana to Key West. In the 1970s, she had become known as the world’s greatest long distance swimmer with her open-water achievements, including a record-breaking swim around Manhattan.

For the next thirty years, Nyad was a prominent sports broadcaster and journalist, filing compelling stories for National Public Radio, ABC’S Wide World of Sports, and others. She is the author of the bestselling memoir, Find a Way, and three other books; is a national fitness icon, a talented linguist, the co-founder of EverWalk — and one of today’s most powerful and engaging public speakers.

Nyad shared personal insights and reflections with John Shegerian on this week’s podcast.

The Webby Award honored Impact podcast is hosted by Shegerian, who is also Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of ERI, the nation’s largest material resource recovery, ITAD and electronics recycling company.

“It was an honor and a privilege to have one of my personal heroes and inspirations, Diana Nyad on the podcast,” said Shegerian. “The conversation we had was inspiring, eye-opening and informative. I know our audience will enjoy and get a lot out of Diana’s wisdom, insights, advice and great sense of humor.”

Impact Podcast guests are invited to share with listeners first-hand accounts of how they are able to help make the world a better place on a daily basis.

The Impact Podcast with John Shegerian is available for listening on ImpactPodcast.com, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Audible, Amazon Music, Youtube Music, Pandora, and as part of iHeartRadio’s digital broadcast.
