When a solo trek across the U.S. at just 15 sparks a lifelong curiosity about the world beyond your front door, it can set the course for a life of bold adventures. In this three-part series, I sit down with bestselling author, producer, director, and podcaster Wells Jones to explore the early travels that fueled his passion for discovery—and ultimately led him to places most only dream about.

From serving as a pararescue and survival officer in the Antarctic with the U.S. Navy, to co-leading Kayak for a Cause (setting a Guinness World Record with 313 sea kayaks alongside co-author Miles Spencer), to Running with the Bulls in Spain, Wells has collected stories that are as daring as they are inspiring.

We also discuss his bestselling book, A Line in the Sand, and how his real-life journeys shaped the stories within. Through it all, Wells hopes to encourage others to step outside their comfort zones and discover the world for themselves.
