Update: 2025-06-02
Description
Akshay Nanavati is a former Marine, polar explorer, and the author of Fearvana—a book that’s been praised by the Dalai Lama, no less. After battling addiction, PTSD, and depression post-deployment in Iraq, Akshay didn’t just survive he alchemized his pain into purpose. He’s since skied solo across Antarctica for 110 days and built a movement around the idea that fear isn’t the enemy, it’s the doorway.
This conversation is a deep dive into what it really means to embrace adversity and transmute suffering into service.
