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.
