  • That time we got deported from Somalia

    That time we got deported from Somalia
    Mar 19 2024
    When most foreigners travel to Somalia, they usually have armed security and bullet proof cars. Lakshmi, along with her friend Khadija, did something few tourists ever do---they traveled overland across the whole country and stayed with a local family in the capital city, Mogadishu. They planned to just stay for a week but ended up enjoying it so much that they stayed for over a month---until they wound up detained and deported.

    In this episode, Lakshmi and Khadija will share stories they've never told before from their adventures in Somalia and talk about a side of Mogadishu that is rarely shown in the media.

  • Life Lessons From the World’s Last Hunter Gatherers

    Life Lessons From the World’s Last Hunter Gatherers
    Mar 19 2024
    We live in unprecedented times. I can get chicken nuggets ordered to my doorstep without even getting off the couch. That's crazy! But in our quest for unending convenience, what have we lost in modern society?

    And so, two years ago, I traveled to a remote jungle in Borneo to visit the Penan tribe, one of the last hunter gatherers on earth. They're known for catching their prey with blowpipes and poison darts. I learned about their hunting skills and culture and I saw first hand how modernization was destroying their way of life. That trip left its mark on me and it’s the inspiration for this episode.

    Dan Baird, one the world’s leading survival experts, joins me to discuss all the things we can learn from primitive cultures to help us lead more fulfilling lives in our modern world. We'll hear stories from his extreme adventures walking across the Serengeti for National Geographic and living with remote tribes around the world to his journey from corporate life to founder of the nation’s largest survival school.

  • He's 57 and running across Africa w/ Keith Boyd

    He's 57 and running across Africa w/ Keith Boyd
    Feb 12 2024
    Keith is a 57 year old man with a genetic heart condition but he's on track to set a Guinness World Record running 11,000 km across the length of Africa. And he's got a great message. He wants to inspire young people to vote and improve the lives of people in Africa through better leadership and governance.
    He's already run all the way from South Africa to Ethiopia but he's been stalled for weeks due to security issues. He has the toughest part of the journey ahead of him---war-torn Sudan and the Sahara desert. I have so many questions for Keith. Why did he decide to do this? What's the journey been like and how does a person prepare for an undertaking like this? And will he be able to continue on to Cairo and break the record?
