In this episode we speak with Alex Hutchinson, author of the book 'The Explorer’s Gene -Why We Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the Map'.
Alex Hutchinson is the author of the New York Times bestseller 'Endure' and is a science journalist and Outside magazine’s longtime Sweat Science columnist. He has a PhD in Physics from Cambridge University and a MS in Journalism from Columbia. He was a long-distance runner for the Canadian national team and lives in Toronto.
His new book, The Explorer’s Gene, refutes the myth that the age of exploration is dead. The itch to discover new things persists in all of us, expressed not just on the slopes of Everest but in the ways we work, play, live, and run.
