Hey everybody and welcome to the Blister podcast.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com.

Our guest this week is Andrew Alexander King, who is an African American explorer,

alpinist climber and sur, who was born in Detroit,

Michigan, and has gone on to see a whole lot of the rest of the world.

Andrew has climbed over 50 different mountains around the world, from Kilimanjaro to the highest

mountain in the Atlantic, Indian, and the Pacific

ocean, and he is currently training and aiming to become the first African American to climb the

highest mountain and volcano on each continent. So needless to say, Andrew's story is incredibly interesting, and he is currently at work on The Between Worlds Project, which is every bit as interesting and important.

This conversation was just a total pleasure, and so I am confident that you are going to enjoy it too, and you can also go to the Betweenworldsproject.com to connect with Andrew and to get even more details on what he is up to.

And so let's go ahead and get to my conversation with Andrew Alexander King.

Here we go.

Well, Andrew, how are you today?

And where are you today?

I'm good, Jonathan.

I am doing great.

It's a beautiful day.

I'm alive.

And I actually feel great, meditated.

So I'm actually in Capitoreta,

Camerita, Dominican Republic today, and enjoying the time here.

So, yeah, how are you doing?
