A thrill-seeker, Charlie Engle has run, cycled, and climbed his way across various terrains around the globe. His 5,000-mile journey across the entire Sahara Desert, where he ran two marathons per day for 111 consecutive days, led to the film Running the Sahara and subsequent work with Matt Damon.

During the conversation, Charlie discussed how he went from the idea of running across the Sahara desert to willing it into existence, the transformative power of storytelling and why telling his story has been so important to his journey, and what he’s planning for his next big adventure.

This week’s episode we have another conversation that was recorded live during our Social Media Week Los Angeles event and features the incredible Andy King. 

You might recognize the name as Andy became an internet celebrity thanks to his infamous appearance on Netflix’s FYRE Festival documentary, “Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened.” Following the Netflix documentary Andy found himself in the middle of a social media blitz after, which quickly turned him into a meme overnight...something that was completely foriegn to Andy because at the time he didn’t even know what a meme was!

During the conversation Andy discussed his career before FYRE and how he first got involved with the organizers, how he embraced becoming an overnight viral celebrity, his impression of the Influencer space and how it is changing culture, and how he is using his new found celebrity for good.
