✨ CHEERS TO THE EXPLORERS ✨
What a blessing it was to spend several late April days in in NYC with The Explorers Club, celebrating and communing with the dreamers, doers and change-makers who are working to improve our planet (*and* universe) for all of its inhabitants, great and small.
I’m honored to be a Fellow in The Explorers Club for my storytelling work, and I am delighted to uplift some of the world-changing stories that pass through the Club’s hallowed halls (including as red carpet host for this year’s gala, through which I interviewed exploration legends such as Victor L. Vescovo and Justin Fornal, as well as friends / next-generation change-makers like Callie Broaddus, Rebecca Hui & Ricardo A. Nascimento).
What IS The Explorers Club, you ask? It’s is a multidisciplinary, professional society dedicated to the advancement of field research, scientific exploration and resource conservation. It was founded in 1904 to support “the Scientific Exploration of Land, Sea, Air & Space”, and its members include the first people to visit the North & South Poles, the first to reach the Summit of Everest, *and* the first to set foot on the Moon.
Explorers Club an illustrious bunch, to say the least. And when it gathers, my mind cracks WIDE OPEN with inspiration, every. single. time.
