This week we are joined by Eddie Young from rebornstronger.com. Eddie has an incredible story of overcoming adversity, choosing adventure, and living a self-directed life.
We met Eddie at TBEX while in Manila, and as we got to know him, we kept learning more and more interesting things about his story. We’ve concluded that he certainly is a candidate for the most interesting man in the world!
Why? Well, he speaks Korean, played semi-professional baseball in Japan, overcame a broken neck and fully recovered, and recently climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro as the first summit on a quest to become the first African-American man to climb the highest peaks on all seven continents.
Enjoy!
