“My near death experience…” When you hear those words from today’s guest on the #MakeYourMark podcast, @Zane Schweitzer, you’ll see how it renewed his sense of purpose, and as a 15X World Champion across several water sports.
Zane has travelled the world many times over, happens to have a vibrant non-stop energetic personality, all packed into his 26 years! Zane has so many incredible stories, messages of hope, things you can do to save the environment, and how to ride 60 foot waves, all in one episode!
Zane filled an hour + with great advice, deep insight, and a perspective I have yet to have experienced on this podcast!
He probably set a record for quotes I could have used, and he truly is a remarkable young man who’s been riding the waves for years!
Zane will stir something inside of you, and lead you to positive action, whether it’s for yourself, your friends and family, or the environment that surrounds you.
I really look forward to you tuning in to this, you’ll be thrilled you did. Mahalo!
