DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded on June 22nd, prior to the SAG Strike.
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.
