Paul Rosolie is a naturalist, explorer, author, and award-winning wildlife filmmaker.

Today on the show we discuss: how Paul went from a kid in New Jersey to living in the Amazon rainforest, the Discovery Channel disaster that derailed his career and the brutal lessons it forced him to learn, the emotional toll of dedicating your life to something that is constantly under threat, what it actually takes to challenge yourself in a comfort-obsessed modern world, the difference between engineered discomfort and real adversity, what it was like being stung by an Amazonian stingray, how Paul survived being nearly killed by uncontacted tribes and much more.
