Summary

Today I'm joined by Jamie Leibert - aka Captain Manicorn - and Sandra Zinovyev to talk about their incredible story of overcoming adversity and relentlessly pursuing their dream of becoming the first people to fly a parachute in every country. Jamie and Sandra are on a nearly impossible mission where one wrong decision could cost them their lives. Their goal is to leave behind a legacy that inspires future generations of adventure lovers to beat the odds stacked against them by showing them how to turn an impossible dream into a possible one. In this incredibly raw conversation, Jamie and Sandra discuss their difficult pasts with childhood trauma, incarceration, and addiction and the obstacles they continue to face while on the road. This episode goes beyond their adventures in air sports, offering valuable insight on how to shift your perspectives, overcome challenges, and fulfill your dreams (plus what to do when that dream doesn't make you happy). Trigger Warning: This episode discusses drug use, addiction, and suicide. What's stopping you from going all in on your dreams? What's the first step you can take? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you'll share them by sending me an audio message.
