“My near death experience…” Whenyou hear those words from today’s guest on the #MakeYourMarkpodcast, Zane Schweitzer, you’ll see how it renewed his sense ofpurpose, and as a 15X World Champion across several water sports,Zane has travelled the world many times over, happens to have avibrant non-stop energetic personality, all packed into his 26years! Zane has so many incredible stories, messages of hope,things you can do to save the environment, and how to ride 60 footwaves, all in one episode!
“Not many people look out atwhat’s in front of them and see the potential of what it can bringto their life. Most look out at an ocean and see a pool of water,of emptiness. I see a church, a playground, a place of refugethat’s open 24 hours, 7 days a week!”
Zane filled an hour + with greatadvice, deep insight, and a perspective I have yet to haveexperienced on this podcast! He probably set a record for quotes Icould have used, and he truly is a remarkable young man who’s beenriding the waves for years!
“With big wave surfing youdon’t have that moment to stop and think ‘Oh I’m not ready forthis.’ The ocean is always going to keep coming, and you have toknow the time to fight and the time to surrender.”
Zane will stir something insideof you, and lead you to positive action, whether it’s for yourself,your friends and family, or the environment that surrounds you. Ireally look forward to you tuning in to this, you’ll be thrilledyou did. Mahalo!
“Swimming was something myparents had me doing before I could walk because I was surroundedby the water.”
“One of my biggestmotivations to do well in school was that my parents wouldn’t letme compete or travel if I didn’t have good grades!”
“My near deathexperience...was a driving factor to not only be the best I can befor my craft, but also consider the actions I’m taking, and theripple effect they cause. It gave me a much more grounding sense ofpurpose overall, to leave a positive footprint wherever Igo.”
“I want tochallenge you to embrace the power of choice, and to make choicesthrough your day that not only benefit yourself, but the peoplearound you and your environment.”
