Social Soup Podcast (Episode 24: The Most Interesting Man in the World? Stories about Voyages, War, and Finding Meaning with “Badass Granddad” John Graham)


Listen Later

Everyone has a story, and then there’s John Graham, a self-proclaimed “badass granddad” who has ENDLESS stories! John has heard the call to adventure from a young age, joining a freighter boat crew as a teenager. He has seen war first-hand, worked for the United Nations, escaped a burning ship during a typhoon, and climbed treacherous mountains…that’s just a sample. We’re not sure what he *hasn’t* done!

John Graham is the Executive Director of global nonprofit The Giraffe Heroes Project, author, speaker, and seasoned adventurer. The Giraffe Heroes Project recognizes people who “stick their necks out for the common good,” and encourages everyone to make a difference. 

John continues to live a life of service. He shares his experiences with PTSD, finding his meaning in life, and so much more. You have to hear it to believe it. Drink up his stories!
