We're taking a bit of a break this week, but we're re-running some of our best content in our absence. Jason Lewis made a name for himself in the exploration community as the first person to circumnavigate the globe using only human power, but these days he and his wife Tammie are shifting their focus towards expanding the adventure sphere to a wider crowd and raising awareness about critical environmental crises like seagrass decline and water pollution. Their work aims to call attention to the power of one committed individual to spur a global movement for good and today they join us on the Update to share their story and discuss their latest projects. You can check out their work on their website, social, and on YouTube
