Pedro Guerra-Zúñiga has a fighting spirit — a spirit that especially likes to laugh.

Growing up, Pedro expected to get cancer, at some point, probably in his 60s. Fate has a funny disposition, though, so when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Pedro decided to respond on his terms: with humor and a goal of making Team Canada.

After all, you never know what can happen.

In this episode, we chat about:

🧊 How showing up can be the most powerful thing you do
🧊 The impact of philosophy on his recovery
🧊 Why he likes drytooling so much, beyond being tendon friendly
🧊 Training as a larger athlete
