The Final Summit podcast

The Final Summit

What do you do when you’ve achieved your dreams only to realize- your work’s just begun? In January of 2018, Chris Bombardier became the first person with severe hemophilia to complete The Seven Summits. It was the end of an adventure, and the start of a whole new chapter in Chris’s life. From the team behind the documentary Bombardier Blood comes a podcast for adventurers, bleeders, and anyone who’s ever chased a dream. Subscribe to BloodStream Media’s The Final Summit wherever you get your podcasts. The Final Summit is made possible thanks to our featured advertiser, Genentech.
