Humanity is the master of the world. But how did we achieve this? And what do our actions say about us as a people? These are the questions at the heart of Human Footprint, a new PBS docu-series directed by Nate Dappen and Neil Losin. They join Matthew Sherwood to discuss the programme, which they describe as ‘a science show that explores human history and culture'.  Human Footprint starts with an exploration of invasive species. Nate and Neil discuss our response to this problem, which we created. It has led to the rise of some unusual jobs: would you like to be a python hunter? Through Nate and Neil, we discover some more sedate occupations, for example, duck calling and hunting. This brings them to Ramsey Russell, who, in addition to being a duck hunter, is also ‘a poet [and] philosopher'. If humanity has transformed the world, some animals have transformed humans. Dogs are one of them. According to Nate, dogs' relationship with humans has been ‘symbiotic', and he describes visiting Resolute Bay in the Arctic Circle where dogs and inuits help each other to survive.  Fast evolving lizards, dancing dogs, and city ecosystems also come under discussion. However, a series like Human Footprint is not easy to make. As Neil says, ‘you have to pre-produce everything... to a really... high degree'. Despite that, however, not everything is planned out, and they did still manage to be surprised by some ‘unexpected gems' they found during filming, and afterwards. In a conversation that ranges from evolutionary biology, how Shane Campbell-Staton came on board as presenter, to the role of rap music in the making of Human Footprint, Nate and Neil take Matthew Sherwood on a journey across the world and even through time. Watch the episode at https://factualamerica.com “... what the series reveals to me [is] that we have an enormous capacity for messing things up if we're not careful. But we also have an amazing capacity for good as a species, and it's really just a matter of what we decide to do collectively.” – Neil Losin

Roger epitomizes what I am trying to illustrate here on 'Beyond Recovery'! This interview is incredible..."I am Roger Davies and welcome to my Adventure blog – here you will find information about me and my Journey of Recovery from Crime, Addiction and Cancer to Wild Adventures.On New Year's Day 2020, I found myself standing in our hallway before two Guinness World Records with ‘Roger Davies' inscribed on them. Every story has a beginning: mine started at the age of ten, when a surgeon told me I was disabled, never to enjoy physical activities again.Over time there have been many challenges and demons to fight in my ‘interesting' roller coaster ride of a life. Through necessity and chance, from a violent criminal and alcoholic, I evolved into an entrepreneur, honorary eccentric, charity worker in Africa and an adventurer. More than half a century later, at the tender age of 71, on Mount Everest, I played in the two highest games of rugby in history, and entered the record books. I relish unusual experiences, from hard core expeditions, pulling my sled over some of the most desolate terrain on the planet, trekking 650 km from Resolute Bay in Canada to the North Pole, to the altitude problems of the world's highest trek, in the Himalayas, and the fearsome heat of the Sahara. And then there are the extreme rowing challenges, including the brutal and, sadly, ultimately tragic world-record attempt to row across the violent, uncompromising North Atlantic in the world's toughest rowing race.I like to think I have done all this with commitment, humour and unbridled enthusiasm. And I only achieved all this by remaining clean and sober, one day at a time, since 2 February 1981. As I have grown older, travelled more and become somewhat better informed, I have come to truly appreciate that time is my most precious resource. I accept that I am trekking, a day at a time, through life – just this once! I choose not to waste the adventure!Then, at 9.30 a.m. on 29 October 2020, I was given the diagnosis: I had the big C …And now begins possibly the most challenging and important journey of my life and one which, and I say this with humility, I intend to tackle using the life skills I have acquired in my career as an adventurer. Blessed am I to have the help and support of my wife, close friends, colleagues and an incredible medical team.As a cancer survivor, I was encouraged to paddle a single kayak across the English Channel from Dungeness, UK to Boulogne, France on 3 August 2021, celebrating six months, to the day, since my last chemotherapy cycle, and on 8 October kayaked the return journey. I smashed it both ways!While this is my story of transformation, I hope that others (maybe you) will read it and understand that there is no limitation to what human beings can achieve. If there is a message to this book it's that I'm just an ordinary guy who went out and did extraordinary things."✅ www.rogerdavies.me.uk

Helen Thayer competed in the Commonwealth Games as a discus thrower in 1962 after marriage. She also represented Guatemala as a thrower in the Caribbean games. The Thayers moved to Washington State in 1965. She was the fourth-best thrower in the country at that time, PB was 204 ft. Her athletic endeavors did not stop with Track and Field. She also became a National Champion in luge in 1975. The Thayers also made an intentional decision not to have children because of her husband's risky occupation (helicopter pilot who sprayed crops for a living) and the couple's lifestyle. To get ready to fulfill her attempt to ski the magnetic North Pole prompted her to ten mile-a-day runs, an hour-long gym workout, and pulling concrete-laden sleds up a grassy hill for an hour. In 1988 she went to Resolute Bay in Northern Canada to live with the Inuit and learn how to live in the polar regions. Skills included skiing on pack ice and pitching a tent in a storm as well as how to avoid/discourage polar bear meetings. She credits the Inuit as helping her better survive and helping her gain an understanding of survival in this area. Equipment included: 7 ft fiberglass sled 160 lbs. food, gear, and fuel Included in the gear were a flare gun and rifle to discourage polar bears Dog Charlie Host: Jacalyn Gross Guest Host: Erica Mann Producer: Jeremy Canaria & Jacalyn Gross Editor: Jacalyn Gross & Jeremy Canaria Copy Writer: Elizabeth Gross --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jacalyn-gross/support

“You never know how far you can go, until you risk going too far.” - T.S. Elliot   Comfort has its place in our lives but it's best if you take it as it comes, rather than get carried away in the pursuit of it. Stepping out of your comfort zone and committing to hard work is what brings results and comfort is the least of the rewards. You need courage and willpower and when you're truly stepping out of your comfort zone you need a coach to help you break through your fears, doubts and other psychological barriers.   Raymond Aaron has taken on many challenges in his life and proven these secrets to himself several times over. But perhaps the biggest challenge he's ever faced was the death defying foot race from Resolute Bay, Nunavut to the North Pole. From the two years of training before the race (with physical trainer Nicky Billou!), to facing the extremes of the arctic for one month, Raymond discovered that he sets his own limits and that great power comes when you believe in the version of yourself beyond fear and doubt. The physical gives way to the spiritual, and magic starts to happen.   Expert action steps:   Start by taking yourself out of your comfort zone just a little by changing your routine in some small. Read the book that Raymond and Nicky will be co-authoring. Get out of your ego's comfort zone by doing the first thing that comes to your mind. Something that you know you should do but scares you. Like apologizing to someone you've hurt, or taking yourself more seriously.     Raymond applies these same philosophies to business and has achieved great success. He is a top international speaker and author and offers many teaching and coaching programs. You can learn more at aaron.com.   Also mentioned:   Ernest Shackleton   Jan Meek.   Reach out to Nicky if you'd like to network with some like-minded people at a Freedom Lunch/Dinner and to stay up to date with other upcoming live events.   Visit eCircleAcademy.com and book a success with call Nicky to take your practice to the next level.

“Ancient times were the youth of the world.” Francis Bacon said that in 1623, an ancient time to now but not as ancient as the ancient times he was talking about. Puts into perspective - the ancients weren’t really ancient to each other, and what they offered us at the dawn of our modern world was recorded in all sorts of ways – in poem, in song, in scripture, paintings on the wall of a cave. How far have we traveled since then? I wonder. With stacks of books written by moderns and ancients in private and public libraries from Antarctica to Resolute Bay, from Easter Island to Istanbul, with music created in every age declaring right from wrong, working to explain the feelings in a moment, and offering whimsy galore, with comments given at the first hunt to the words of the last sermon, to the most recent political broadcast, how’s it all going? “I would address one general admonition to all,” Bacon said, “that they consider what are the true ends of knowledge, and that they seek it not either for pleasure of the mind, or for contention, or for superiority to others, or for profit, or fame, or power, or any of these inferior things, but for the benefit and use of life, and that they perfect and govern it in charity. For it was from lust of power that the angels fell, from lust of knowledge that man fell; but of charity there can be no excess, neither did angel or man ever come in danger by it.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/peter-smith05/message
