The thing is not how you are on your best day is how can you step up on your worst day.

From the multicultural headquarters of the future capital of the free-thinking states of America known as Los Angeles, this is The Drunken Dow's podcast.

On this episode, adventurer, firefighter, and jujitsu practitioner, Stefan Kestingesting joins us to share his amazing new book,

Perseverance, about his thousand-mile solo journey through the Canadian sub-Arctic along an ancient route known as the Old Route, into the deep wilderness with no humans for hundreds of miles,

but trillions of black flies and more than enough polar bears in every direction.

Danieli Bollelli, as we invite you to lower the lights, batten down the hatches, and prepare to open your mind for the drunken Dallas podcast begins now.

They really are.
