Episode 19; Getting Real with Ethan Zohn, Winner of Survivor Africa

On this weeks episode of Tea with Rich we welcome Ethan Zohn to the Podcast. Ethan is the winner of Survivor Africa, founder of Grassroots Soccer, a 2-time Cancer survivor, and motivational speaker.

We cover his personal and professional journey, including how we met, his role in public speaking, overcoming adversity, and key moments that forever changed his life.

We of course share insights from Ethan's experience as a Survivor winner and repeat contestant, his work with Grassroots Soccer, the emotional aspects of public speaking, and the evolution of reality TV.

The conversation highlights the importance of storytelling and connection in both personal and professional contexts. Ethan discusses his journey leading up to and getting on Survivor, the importance of using fame for good, and the challenges faced during and after the show.

We of course get personal, and share stories related to our travel adventures, the challenges of managing relationships and expectations, overcoming adversity and the lessons learned from difficult experiences.

We end with a few questions from Ethan around how Rich and I handle the idea of competition and building long-lasting alliances.
