In this episode of disrupt. I sit down with Ryan Stramrood, an ultra-extreme open-water and ice swimmer, Guinness World Record holder, peak performance coach, and inspirational speaker. Ryan's story is nothing short of incredible. From being a regular guy with no formal sports background to breaking world records in some of the planet's most brutal waters, including swimming a mile in Antarctica at -1°C and being among the first people to swim around Cape Horn. His journey is a masterclass in mental resilience, pushing past comfort zones, and redefining human potential.

🔥 In this episode, we dive into:

🔹How Ryan went from business owner to extreme athlete

🔹 The mental and physical training required to swim in freezing waters

🔹 Overcoming fear, failure, and the limits we place on ourselves

🔹 The life-changing lessons cold water swimming has taught him

🔹 Why comfort zones are the enemy of growth and how to break out of them

🔹 His most brutal and terrifying swims (including one in Siberia!)

🔹 Practical insights into the world of inspirational speaking

If you're looking for motivation to push past your limits, challenge your comfort zone, and rewire your mindset, this is an episode you can't afford to miss.
