Kyle Maynard (@kylemaynard) is a motivational speaker,
bestselling author, entrepreneur, and ESPY award-winning mixed
martial arts athlete, known for becoming the first quadruple
amputee to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount
Aconcagua without the aid of prosthetics. Oprah Winfrey called
Kyle "one of the most inspiring young men you will ever hear
about." Arnold Schwarzenegger described him as "the real deal,"
"a champion human," and "one of the most inspiring people" he's
ever met. Even the great Wayne Gretzky has spoken of Kyle's
"greatness." Despite being born with a rare condition that left
him with arms that end at the elbows and legs that end near his
knees, he learned early on with the support of his family to live
life independently and without prosthetics. Kyle thrives on
physical challenges and, following a few rough middle school
football seasons, he went on to become a champion wrestler,
CrossFit Certified Instructor and gym owner, competitive
MMA/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter, world record-setting
weightlifter, and skilled mountaineer. This episode comes from my
new television show Fear{less}, where I interview world-class
performers on stage about how they've overcome doubt, conquered
fear, and made their toughest decisions. You can watch the entire
first episode with illusionist David Blaine for free at
att.net/fearless. (To watch all episodes, please visit DIRECTV
NOW.) We recorded three hours of material and only one hour was
used for the TV show. This podcast episode is almost entirely new
content that didn't appear on TV. Enjoy! Show notes and links for
this episode can be found at www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast.
