An adventurer and tech savvy entrepreneur that's traveled many of the planet's remaining wildernesses, Gary Mancuso is truly an explorer of our past and future.

Gary yearned to travel ever since he was a boy. Then, the summer before his senior year in high school, he left his family home in Ohio and drove to California, arriving in Los Angeles with four dollars in his pocket where he slept on the beach for a spell until he got his footing. When he wasn't off wandering somewhere, he studied economics, communications, and political science, got a master's degree in International Relations from the University of Southern California went on to headed business development in the trading room of a large regional bank where he created a game changing automated cross-borders payments service, a forerunner in what is now known as "Fintech".

In late 2005, he dropped everything, including a successful career, to pursue a life-long dream. Realizing that if he didn't just go, the last intact cultures and wild places on the planet would vanish before he could see them. Six years later, he returned from his odyssey with a story like no other. This unique story is recounted in his highly-acclaimed memoir, "The Last Places on Earth: Journeys in Our Disappearing World", which went on sale in fall 2014, and will soon be in its third printing.

Presently, he works with a couple of technology startups and is an investment specialist helping clientele achieve their life's dreams by building a rock solid financial foundation.

A lifelong environmentalist, Gary is a strong advocate of using advanced technologies toward sustainable and socially responsible economic development. With his breadth of knowledge of traditional cultures, wildernesses, and the latest technologies, Gary brings a unique perspective tying our ancient past to the wondrous possibilities ahead.

Along with his passion for travel, he's an avid trekker, fitness buff, swimmer, scuba diver, and private pilot.

Brad Neathery and Tyler sharp are the founders of a Modern Huntsman, a unique publication supported by some of our past guests including Chris Burkard, that seeks to stand together to fight for wildlife conservation, public land access, and ecological sustainability, all under the code of ethics that make the outdoors culture so strong.

Tyler Sharp is a photographer, writer, and director who has spent over a decade documenting stories and adventures in the hunting, outdoor, and conservation arenas who will share some insight into the roles that hunting plays in conservation and habitat preservation, as well as an awareness of the gaps in communication that exist between hunters and non-hunters. This eventually led Tyler to co-found Modern Huntsman and take up the charge as Editor in Chief of the publication, in hopes of bridging the gap between those worlds, correcting areas of misinformation, and challenging often outdated stereotypes.

Brad Neathery was born & raised in the Dallas, TX area, where he spent his younger years pursuing any outdoor adventure he could find throughout the in-between cracks of the suburban landscape didn't really have much of a background in hunting. In fact, he tended to make it a point to disassociate from hunters and the lifestyle of hunting, as he didn't much care for the stereotypical crown that culture had placed on the heads of hunters. It wasn't until recent years when that stereotype was flipped on its head for Brad, and his paradigm of hunters was shattered. Along with Tyler, he created Modern Huntsman to exist as a platform where hunters and non-hunters could unite under common cause for the first time in modern history and together, work towards a shared positive impact on wildlife, conservation, land, and society.

When it comes to finding wind and waves in remote places, Gavin is without a doubt one of the most knowledgeable and experienced skippers in the world. He grew up on boats in the Pacific Northwest and commercially fished in the Bering Sea before getting into sailing in the mid 90's. He has 13 straight years at sea under sail across all three oceans of the world. He's rounded both Capes (Horn and Good Hope); racked up over 160,000 blue water miles; sailed solo across the Atlantic and through the Java Sea and Malacca Straits; and is passionate about protecting wild places for future generations.

Gavin McClurg is a Patagonia ambassador and the owner of Offshore Odysseys. In 2015, he took eighth place at the Red Bull X-Alps (the first American in the race's history to reach the goal) and won National Geographic's Adventurer of the Year award for his paragliding traverse of the Canadian Rockies with Will Gadd. When he's not sailing or flying Gavin calls Ketchum, Idaho home.

Nicholas Coolridge calls himself a Movement Artist from his combined love of movement and capturing it via photographs or video. Surprisingly most the photos you see on his social media are also taken by him with a camera setup on a tripod and a timer.

Many will know Nicholas from his truly positive, and simplistic lifestyle. He is one of little possessions and has lived in a van he modified into a home for a good portion of his adult life.

Before his movement career, Nicholas grew up building houses with his Dad (Paul) and was studying in college to be an auto mechanic. Movement and media were just a past time hobbies up until one of his first youtube videos went viral. This was the first spark that led him to devote his life to his love of movement and photography.

The three activities that light up his world most are Parkour, Climbing, and Acro Yoga. Even though it's how he supports himself now he says that even if the world went into financial crisis he would still be just as happy since these three activities require no money at all!

He also loves spending his time traveling the world, playing the piano, exploring nature, cooking fresh food, or fixing things.

Although by birth his name is Nicholas, most now refer to him as Tarzan and some may not even know his real name! You won't have to hang out with him long to see that he truly embodies the nickname with a touch of sophisticated wisdom and love for technology. Say hello to ModernTarzan

We're back!

Thanks for all the support in season 1! We'll see you back in early 2019!

Dan Pierson is the founder of Bolt Collective, a travel-loving community of incredible people all coming together to unlock otherwise impossible experiences through group economics.

Dan's adventures have taken him to over 50 countries, with stints living in Argentina, the Czech Republic, and Mexico, long bike rides across the United States and New Zealand, and an ultimately ill-advised 500-mile walk across the island of Cuba.

Dan's professional background is in the production of experiences for brands like Airbnb and The Rockefeller Foundation. He is also the creator of Subway Sets: A sold-out concert series bringing New York's best underground musicians to rooftops above New York City.

Since Brent was a kid, he remembers helping his dad with the family company, Kline Motor, where modifications to Vans and RV's have always been a part of the family trade. While Kline Van has up-fitted passenger vans for companies for years, Brent started VanDOit to meet the demand of the adventure van lifestyle and movement that's taken off in the past few years. As a huge adventure seeker himself, Brent's passionate that the minds behind the VanDOit movement are driven by a passion for adventure: people who bike, moto, surf, ski, hike, camp, run, fish, hunt, climb… Those who love the thrill of being free on the open road and seek the freedom, adventure, excitement-and the means to do those things.

For Brent, the desire to live those passions started from the day he could hold a wrench and work on a car.
