EP8 Losing His Sight, Gaining His Vision | James Pittar

A metaphorical sneak peek into life without vision.   James Pittar lost his vision over a 10 year period by age 20.  As the first and only vision impaired man to successfully swim the English channel I adored recording this episode. It’s not often with think of life in someone else’s shoes, but to do so with James was insightful, inspiring and informative. To me it highlighted how much of our own reality is built on sh*t we take for granted and perceptions we don’t give a second thought to. “Would you trade your vision for your swimming achievements?” is a questions James was once asked. The answer is no... because the life he lives has taken him around this beautiful world. And what is beauty when we cannot see it?  FYI James has swam open water in every single continent in the world (besides Antarctica) over a period of 925 days....  and never had to punch a shark in the face!
