OUR FIRST SUMMER REPLAY!!! Couldn't think of a person who's spirit of curiosity and exploration inspires me more.Really proud of this one. Enjoy!

Today’s guest is the eccentric adventurer, filmmaker and writer Beau Miles!!

Beau has filmed some of the most inventive adventures out there including “The Human Bean”, “A Mile an Hour”, “Run the Line”, “Africa by Kayak” and many more.  His Youtube channel is full of entertaining, quirky, impressive filmmaking and I am so grateful I was able to sit down and chat with him for this episode!

Throughout his many adventures (and misadventures), Beau comes across as a person who is passionate for new experiences, who seeks understandings of the world both the internal and external, and someone who expresses his artistic side through creating some major challenges.  At their core these adventures demonstrate an honest-to-goodness curiosity for life.

From running an abandoned railroad line in his hometown to kayaking 2,000kms along the Souther African Coast to commuting 60+ miles to work by highway and waterway, Beau shows all the ups and downs of forging new experiences.

In this episode we chat all about the lessons he’s learned, his musings on adventure both local and exotic, and how he’s evolved along the way.

I hope you love this one as much as I did! Huge thanks to Beau and make sure you tune into all of the amazing projects he has released and everything that is on the way!!

Way back in episode #12 Cameron told the story of his world record of 24 hours of burpees and it's one of my favorite stories EVER and then in episode #213 he was back at it setting the record for most step-ups in his apartment over 8 hours.

There's more to those episodes so if you really enjoy this one, go back and check those ones out for more stories from Cameron!

OUR FOURTH SUMMER REPLAY!!!

Super excited to share!! This is exemplary episode of the podcast. It's everything I hope each episode to be- a pure definition of an adventure just because adventure is available to each and every one of us!

In August Natalie Larson caught an Uber to the Mexican border and set out on the biggest adventure of her life. 44 days 18 hours 40 minutes and 1,171 miles later, she had traversed the entirety of the Californian coast. Along the way she survived encounters with mountain lions, swam across rivers, and discovered the kindness of strangers.

Natalie's journey really encapsulates all I respect and love about adventure.

Here's a bit of the intro to her fantastic blog about the experience (link below):

"I saw headlamps from afar that led me to water in the middle of the night. I found a woman's purse complete with driver's license, credit cards, sunglasses, from the 70s. I found my way out of a sandstorm on fifty-foot high dunes, scared away a mountain lion by screaming at the top of my lungs, climbed over slippery rocks, raced along the beach to beat the incoming tide, escaped the grasp of a farm worker who grabbed my arm, swam across a river carrying my gear on my head (twice), followed footprints when I couldn't see through the beach mist at night, tripped, fell, and passed out from the pain along the highway. I dealt with poison oak, an infected blister, and glasses scratched by sandy high-speed winds. I slept under trees beside the road, on the beach, and in campgrounds where I shared food with the homeless. By San Francisco I had started to resemble a homeless person and the homeless recognized me as one of their own, asking me for gear tips and warning me that the police were "on the war path."

Her story truly is AWESOME

I hope you guys enjoy the episode and feed off of the inspiration from Natalie to move forward on your own dreams!

Congratulations again Natalie. You are an inspiration! Keep being you and kick some ass on whatever your next big thing is!

I'm very grateful to have run an episode with Eli Wehbe, former owner of LA's most popping club, Warwick and fellow ultra-running bretheren. Eli rose to the top pinnacle of Hollywood nightlife before the age of 30, and then after one night lost everything (he explains the situation in his book Mask). This episode made me feel like I'm really out here in the snake pit hustling! He is now an avid ultra-runner and is on a warpath to share his transformation with the internet. I really appreciated his candor and how open he was about his fuck-ups and his come back. Enjoy bretheren.
