Lev Goldberg joins Anitha to talk about being the first openly trans person to swim the Great Lakes. In 2025 Lev swam across Lake Ontario and then in August of 2026, he swam across Lake Huron! His goal is to swim across all five Great Lakes in an effort to raise awareness and funds for the LGBTQ+ youth.
An inspiring conversation about determination, physical and mental strength and helping others.
