SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, November 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tomorrow, Today, the long-form interview series created and hosted by Shekhar Natarajan, has released a new episode featuring Alvaro Vizcaino, a Spanish surfer, entrepreneur and survivor. The episode centers on the 2014 accident that nearly took his life and the lessons he has drawn from it about fear, acceptance and purpose.— Alvaro Vizcaino
In the conversation, Vizcaino describes leaving a corporate job in Madrid in 2009 to co-found a tourism technology company on the Canary Island of Fuerteventura. In September 2014, while exploring a remote stretch of coastline, he slipped off a cliff into the ocean, breaking his pelvis in three places and fracturing his hand. He spent two days and two nights stranded on an isolated beach before deciding to swim for help.
"Acceptance and gratitude saved my life," Vizcaino said during the episode. "I pushed the reset button."
Topics covered in the episode include:
- The moment he stopped fighting underwater and how surrender, not struggle, allowed him to resurface
- Finding a single bottle of water on the beach as dehydration set in
- Visualizing himself safe before attempting the swim that ended his ordeal
- Why he believes fear should be negotiated with rather than fought
- Why there is no plan B once a decision has been made
- The loneliness he discovered beneath outward success, and how it changed his priorities
Natarajan also shares his own near-fatal car accident, when his vehicle hydroplaned across a five-lane highway. "You're simply at the mercy," said Shekhar Natarajan, host of Tomorrow, Today. "You cannot control it."
