Defiant Optimism shares powerful conversations with everyday heroes who go above and beyond to raise awareness, and money, for causes close to their hearts. From ultra marathons, to world record breakers, and 24-hour dances, to English channel swims, these people put mind over matter to achieve the unachievable – and give back to others in the process. What does it truly mean to be a defiant optimist?
