Description

How do you go from nearly taking your own life to skiing solo across Antarctica and writing a book endorsed by the Dalai Lama?

In this extraordinary conversation, Mindie talks with Akshay Nanavati—Marine Corps veteran, polar explorer, and author of Fearvana—about what it really means to embrace suffering, conquer fear, and live on the sacred edge of life.

Akshay shares:

✅ His journey from addiction, PTSD, and self-destruction to becoming a Marine and extreme adventurer

✅ The inside story of his recent attempt at the world’s first coast-to-coast solo ski crossing of Antarctica—and what he learned from nearly dying in the process

✅ Practical advice for getting booked on podcasts, landing speaking gigs, and getting your message out to the world
