Meet Wells Jones, a man who has lived more lives than most people have passports. He walks us through three seasons on the Antarctic pararescue team during Operation Deep Freeze, technical glacier climbs and the 1977 free fall over the South Pole that made him only the seventh person to do it. We then flip to Hollywood tales from Broadway to film sets with Johnny Depp, Anthony Hopkins and Margot Robbie that include laugh out loud and jaw dropping moments. We dig into his 1,100 mile trek from Jeddah to Damascus retracing T.E. Lawrence's journey from 1916 to 1918 during the Arab Revolt. We also discuss how that journey became the Amazon bestseller A Line in the Sand, born from 39 checkpoints and desert shocks that changed him, and why he believes the Middle East is far more generous than its headlines suggest. We explore what in his childhood sparked this appetite for adventure and the lessons risk taught him about creativity and courage. Finally, in our "Quick Fire Segment" we squeeze out the best and most shocking bits of Wells Jones's life, from his coldest Antarctic moment to the celebrity who surprised him most.
