In this episode, Jen and Dyana talk with Champion Swimmer, Author, Public Speaker, and National Icon, Diana Nyad. On September 2, 2013, at the age of sixty-four, Diana Nyad became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without the aid of a shark cage, swimming 111 miles in fifty-three hours from Havana to Key West. In the 1970s, she became 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. She is the author of her memoir, Find a Way, and three other books, and later this year a film will be released starring Annette Bening and Jodie Foster directed by Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi spotlighting Diana’s complex, wild, and incredible life story.
