What happens when a spine diagnosis worse than you can imagine forces you to confront your mortality at 29? Oliver Widger went from working a corporate job he hated to sailing solo across the Pacific Ocean with nothing but his cat Phoenix and an unshakeable belief in chasing impossible dreams. After learning he had the spine of someone over 120 years old, Oliver spiraled through three years of partying and self-doubt before accidentally posting a video of himself in his work uniform declaring he "absolutely hated this life" - a mistake that changed everything when it went to all his bosses. Now weeks into a solo voyage from Oregon to Hawaii, Oliver has gained nearly a million followers while proving that the most below-average person can achieve extraordinary things through pure determination. This conversation reveals how facing your mortality can become the greatest gift, why crossing the point of no return is the only way to truly live, and how anyone brave enough to spin a globe and jump can transform their biggest fears into their greatest adventures.
