This is an IHeart podcast.

I love to tell stories, meaningful stories, impactful stories that people can relate to.

And the idea of explorist, the reason why I founded it was that I wanted to inspire the average Joe to kind of, you know, embrace the outdoors more, don't get sucked into the nine to five too much,

and go on, take your family on picnics. I feel like that's something that's been lost on a lot of

Americans. I understand that a lot of people come to my show and they have this great expectation

of some deep, you know, geopolitical insight or my evaluation on what's happening in Ukraine and Russia

or what's going on and that type of stuff because of my background.

But you also now, after watching me on Sean Ryan, if you did, you know, you understand that

I am an artist at heart.

And so what I'm always doing is scouring X and Instagram and the internet looking for people

that I believe are true artists, people that have taken a passion for what stirs them and what

gets them out of bed in the morning and turn it into something that other people can consume and can

connect to that can transform their perceptions of their own reality.

And so today it is with great honor that I welcome Alexander Joseph to the show.

Now, Alexander is the founder of Explorist.com, and that's X-P-l-o-r-r-I-T-org.

I'm sorry, explorist.org.

And what they do is they are documentary filmmakers that are really out there to inspire you to connect

with your local environments to experience the thing that he has enjoyed throughout

his whole life. So without further ado, Alexander, it is a pleasure to have you on the show,

man. Appreciate David. Thank you for having me on here. And really quick, just want to say,

appreciate your service to our country.

You know, my heart goes out to veterans every time I do meet them, so I appreciate your service.
