Paige Kearin is currently interviewing people who have risen to the top of their professions, asking them to discuss what worked for them and their advice on how to be highly successful, for an upcoming book. Kearin blogs Real People. Really Remarkable Lives, chronicling her own success in securing interviews with America's top achievers. In Unbelievable! My Personal Interview with Lance Armstrong Live for My Book!, she shares her "very magical and he is really cool" experience of interviewing Armstrong, and even gives the blog readers a few insider bits of personal information Armstrong shared with her.

Kearin met up with Armstrong during a speaking engagement he was attending in Canada. She offers a link to the video of his speech. Armstrong is inspirational. He says he does not wish the experience of cancer on anyone, but it changed his life, so much so, he does not celebrate the day of his birth each year, but the date of his cancer survivorship. He feels that is when his life began. Armstrong talks about passion, about the necessity of having passion, in order to survive and succeed in all areas of life. He compares the passion of cancer survivorship to the passion a top athlete has when excelling at his sport. Armstrong carries the message of what it means to live strong.
