Welcome to the first episode of a 2-part “Best of BUCKiT® with Phil Keoghan” podcast. Over the last year, “BUCKiT” has been a place for mavericks, innovators, and disruptors. Those who have swerved off the predictable road and epitomize what it means to “tick it before you kick it.” In this episode, we will take a look back at those who have turned obstacles into opportunities, defied insurmountable odds, broken stereotypes, achieved seemingly impossible physical feats, and even cheated death. My guests also share some words of wisdom, in addition to giving tips for taking life by the horns and applying the “BUCKiT” mentality to any situation. In this episode, we revisit some of the most memorable moments with guests like Jerry Linenger, a retired Captain in the United States Navy Medical Corps who survived a fire in space. Paul de Gelder, an Australian Navy diver turned TV host who fought a battle for his life against a 600-pound Bull Shark. Sarah Reinertsen, whose leg was amputated when she was 7-years-old but never slowed down and would go on to complete the Kona Ironman competition. Fitness icon, model, bestselling author, and former professional beach volleyball player Gabrielle Reece who believes there is only one way to deal with adversity…head on. Thandiwe Mweetwa, who draws inspiration from the memory of her parents to fuel her fight for big-cat conservation. Mae Jemison - physicist, engineer, and physician - who was the first African American woman in space. Leland Melvin, who holds the distinction of being the only former NFL football player turned NASA astronaut. “21st-Century Indiana Jones” Albert Lin, a National Geographic Explorer whose many journeys include a search for the hidden tomb of Genghis Khan. Peggy Oki, the only female member of the original “Z-Boys” Zephyr Competition Skateboarding Team, whose greatest passion is whale and dolphin conservation. Laird Hamilton, the world’s most famous big wave surfer and the co-inventor of “tow-in-surfing.” And the man who refused to be anyone but himself, Sal Masekela, who is the voice of extreme sports and covers everything from NBC’s Red Bull Signature Series to ESPN’s Summer and Winter X Games.
Selema “Sal” Masekela is the voice of action sports. He is best known for his work presenting NBC’s Red Bull Signature Series and ESPN’s Summer and Winter X Games as well as working as a National Geographic correspondent. Sal is also a journalist, producer, and musician. He is the son of the late great Jazz icon Hugh Ramapolo Masekela, who’s entire life was the definition of activism and resistance. Hugh Masekela stood for justice, freedom, and equality for all. It was Hugh Masekela’s deep seeded beliefs that lead to one of the greatest adventures of Sal’s life – going on the road for 3 months as a roadie, during a controversial trip to South Africa in the midst of Apartheid for the Paul Simon Graceland Tour. Sal has broken many stereotypes throughout his life and career and through it all, he remains true to himself. Standing up on a surfboard in the whitewash close to shore for the very first time may not sound like a life changing moment for a man known as the voice of action sports, but for this X Games host, it was as extreme for him as anything he had ever covered on television. Sal tossed aside preconceived notions about who belongs where, what boundaries and stereotypes might exist in action sports, and he pursued his new passion with reckless abandon. His goal is to inspire teens, who are the most vulnerable, to believe in themselves through action sports. In this humorous and insightful interview, Sal shares the lessons he learned from his parents and how he believes that by staying true to himself, he was able to open doors he never thought possible.
Sal’s Wild Idea: To tell the stories of life through athletes, sports, and music, and share them with the world. If you have ever watched action sports on TV, there’s a good chance you’ve heard or seen Sal Masekela. With a rich, deep voice and a gift for gab, Sal’s been a beloved commentator, journalist, musician, producer, and philanthropist for over a decade. He hosted the X Games for thirteen years, VICE’s World of Sports, E!’s Daily 10, the FIFA World Cup when it was in South Africa, and he currently hosts NBC’s Red Bull Signature Series, has his own production company, and is working with National Geographic. Sal is an amazing storyteller, which you’ll get a taste of in this episode. From moving to San Diego from New York and discovering the world of surfing, paving a path for himself as a commentator in the world of action sports, and deciding to make his own music, Sal’s stories draw you in. We talk about being an outsider, his relationship with his dad (South African jazz icon, Hugh Masekela), why he decided to make his own music, and how you can pursue your passions. I have always admired Sal’s career and looked up to him since I was a kid, so I hope you enjoy this show as much as I did. Listen to this episode if: You’ve heard Sal’s voice before (or even if you haven’t) You love action or adventure sports. You love music. You enjoy good stories. You want to have an epic career.

You may have seen this week’s guest on a random Saturday afternoon while watching the Olympics or an extreme sports show with guys hucking themselves off of 100-foot cliffs on mountain bikes. Sal Masekela has been hosting shows like this for NBC and Red Bull for many years, and is currently the persona of the Red Bull Signature Series. But I know Sal through his participation with our fitness community at CrossFit Los Angeles, of which he was a member for over 5 years, and subsequently, his journey as a four-time veteran of the Whole Life Challenge. Sal leads a pretty incredible life, traveling to all parts of the earth with some of the world’s greatest extreme athletes (surf, skate, snowboard, ski, dirt bike, mountain bike, etc.) in order to bring their exploits and amazing performances alive for the rest of us via TV. He also gets a chance to hang out with these guys outside of competition. During the podcast, he shares both stories and profound learnings from the likes of Laird Hamilton, Gabby Reece, and Kelly Slater (who he hangs with regularly). Though his life is glamorous, he struggles just like the rest of us with his personal health and fitness, challenged by the uniqueness of his schedule, lifestyle and habits. He’s incredibly open about his life and shares with us many of his personal daily habits and how he makes sure to get them in each day. Join me for a conversation about the journey and joy of life, and some profound learnings from the life and experiences of Sal Masekela.
