What happens when you ignore fear, face the cold, and discover that your mind, not your body, is the biggest barrier to success? In this episode of The Power of Integrity, host Ralph Adamo sits down with Ryan Stramrood, global keynote speaker, performance coach, and three-time Guinness World Record-holding extreme swimmer, to explore the connection between mindset, truth, and leadership.

Ryan shares how he went from a self-described “average Joe” and couch-bound sales executive to one of the world’s most elite open-water swimmers. He takes us inside his solo swims in Antarctica, the English Channel, and shark-infested False Bay, breaking not just world records, but the myths we tell ourselves about what’s possible. He also opens up about the integrity it takes to own your failures publicly, even when the world is ready to hand you credit you didn’t earn.

In this episode, you’ll discover: ✅ Why your mind's limits are rarely your body’s limits ✅ The power of truth, humility, and internal integrity ✅ How extreme cold reveals the habits holding you back in business and life

🎙 Podcast Quote: "If you don’t have integrity, but no one sees it, that’s still no integrity. You’ve got to live it when nobody’s watching." – Ryan Stramrood
