In this episode, I am joined by writer, lawyer, Navy veteran, and philosopher Brian Plemmons to discuss building your own philosophy, the concept of identity, and what it means to quit things that are wrong for you in a world that says you shouldn't quit anything. Brian tells me the story of choosing to end his Navy SEALS training and how it changed the trajectory of his life, as well as his stories of growing up in Appalachia and what his life has taught him culturally and psychologically. We also dive into the almost impossible-to-define term of masculinity and what it truly means to contribute to the world in a meaningful and fulfilling way.

Chaz Powell is an explorer, expedition leader, bushcraft instructor, and ranger. He undertakes remote expeditions on foot along Africa's wildest rivers to raise funds and awareness for wildlife conservation and anti-poaching. In this episode, he tells me about traveling over 2,000 miles solo on foot along the Zambezi River from the river source to the Indian Ocean, avoiding land mines and lions, while also surviving extreme heat and dehydration. He also tells me about journeying across Madagascar while following the Mangoky River, where he met many amazing people and encountered one very dangerous group of bandits. We also discuss what might be some future solutions to the global crisis regarding wildlife habitats and illegal poaching.

In this episode, I am joined by Rebekah Senanayake to discuss what it means to be an explorer in the modern world. We talk about her time alone in the Amazon jungle with nothing but a bottle of ayahuasca and five dogs, traveling to the Himalayas to learn from the spiritually advanced Saddus and Babas, and how being the first person to do something opens the doors for others to conquer their own fears.
