This week we are chatting with adventurer Jude Kriwald fresh off of a bike packing trip across Western Africa!!

10 years ago Jude spent nearly a year biking from his home in England to India, a journey that represents the unknown and the ups and downs of adventure to its core. 

Recently, Jude biked across Western Africa, including a trip through the thick jungle of Liberia!

In this episode we chat all about those experiences, what led him to take these trips on, and the benefits that are found from intentionally losing a safety net!

I really enjoyed chatting with Jude and hope you all love the episode as much as I did!!

#382: Jude Kriwald -- Biking from England to India, Bikepacking through Liberian Jungle

This week we are joined by absolute LEGEND Marshall Ulrich!!

Adventure Racing, Ultra running, Death Valley, the 7 Summits, if you name it Marshall has taken it on! He's a true adventurer by all meaning of the word, an explorer of our external world and his own internal world. He's created races, helped teach kids on expeditions, wrote a couple incredible books ("Both Feet on the Ground" and "Running on Empty"), and crossed jungles, deserts and mountains.

For this episode, I brought on my friend Ray Zahab as co-host. Ray has known Marshall for years and these two have probably crossed Death Valley more times than any other human in history. They keep getting drawn back to the place and I was so excited to hear their reflections on it!

A most humble, amazing human being. I'm so honored to have Marshall on the show and beyond excited to share this episode with all of you!!

#380: Jeff Mercier -- Reflections on a Life of Ice Climbing

This week we are sitting down and chatting with Stan Gaskell (Cameraman Stan!!) about his experience adventuring and filming Russ Cook’s historic “Project Africa” run across the continent!!

A few weeks ago Project Africa wrapped up in Tunisia, the northernmost point on the continent after nearly a year long journey. 

Stan was a linchpin of this project. From the logistic planning months before Russ set out to the final dip in the ocean, he was responsible for filmmaking, problem solving, and crewing. From “Harry Potter who hit rock bottom” to one of the biggest badasses in the history of badasses, Stan’s excursion across Africa is LEGENDARY!

Stan, Nelly (their trusted ‘Ship of Theseus’esque van), Russ, and the rest of their amazing team consistently battled problems both small and seemingly insurmountable- including food poisoning, visa issues, border crossings, getting the van on a rickety wooden boat to cross the sea (you truly have to see this to believe it), getting stranded in the middle of the Sahara, and so many more.

Project Africa was a Grand Adventure in every sense of the word and I am so honored to be able to sit down and hear all about it from Stan’s perspective. 

Hope you all enjoy!!
