Finding Peak with Ryan Hanley · The Man Who Died Twice, Then Climbed Everest | Sean Swarner · 27 Feb 2026 podcast

So I was studying to get my master's and my doctorate in counseling psychology.

I wanted to be a psychologist for cancer patients because, as we all know, it's not an individual disease.

We all go through it together.

And I am a firm believer in the mind-body connection.

And I wanted to use my mind to trick my body and everybody else in the world because they thought it was impossible.

But I wanted to use Mount Everest as the highest platform in the world to scream hope, to give back to the cancer community.

And it's turned into this whole global campaign now of just proving you can do amazing things with the right tools and the right teams and the right places.

Because you mentioned God.

He heard everything I've been through.

And then he's like, do you believe in God?

And I was like, yeah.

And he's like, with everything you've been through, how can you believe in God?

And I looked at him and said, with everything I've been through, how could I not?

And I wouldn't be alive if I called him the big guy.

I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for the big guy upstairs.

So I think with the right attitude, knowing what was happening to me, I had no control over that.

Oftentimes when people have something horrific happen to them or they're in a situation that they have no control over, you always have control over how you react in every situation.

You always have choice.

And that's one of the greatest freedoms that I think we all have.

You can choose how you want to react in any situation.
