Surfing wasn’t always popular in Portugal. It’s only in the last 35-40 years that it has been acknowledged as a sport.

In 2006, surfers began exploring and surfing on bodyboards in the Nazare´ Canyon area of Portugal. This huge underwater valley creates gigantic waves away from shore and out in the ocean. Watermen started telling surfers

Let’s face it… most people don’t get a warm fuzzy feeling when they think about bats! It may surprise you that many of our beliefs about these animals are not based on reality. In fact, bats get a pretty bad rap, and most of it is undeserved. During our recent Explorers podcast, the host, Richard Wiese, had a chance to talk to Rodrigo Medellin in Mexico City. Rodrigo says if you can give him ten minutes, he can convince you to love bats. If you love tequila… his work to convince you is that

Can you achieve your dreams with determination and hard work? Or do you need to have luck on your side or know the right people? Can people achieve greatness by overcoming challenging odds? Richard Wiese, the host of the Explorers podcast, sat down recently with Bo Parfet. As a young child, Bo overheard his teacher telling his parents that he would never graduate high school in the second grade.

Women often receive messages from their parents, peers, and society about what makes them “normal” or “successful.” Refusing to accept these messages and instead following your instincts and sense of adventure and curiosity can take exploration to the highest level. In a recent Explorers podcast, our host, Richard Wiese, spoke with explorer Kathy Sullivan. Kathy has the distinction of being the first American woman to walk in space and the first woman to dive to the deepest point on earth in a

No matter how many times you’ve rehearsed it and played it out in your mind, launch day is an entirely different experience. There are so many parts of the preparation that cannot be practiced ahead of time. Squeezing into position in the capsule, turning it on, and bringing it to life… making small talk with other crew members and dozing during a countdown hold. And, a complete sense of awe. Our host, Richard Wiese, spoke with Richard Garriott during our Explorers podcast in Part 2 of an

The environment that parents create for their children is what becomes normal for them. And Richard Garriott's normal was a little different than most kids. He grew up next to the Johnson Space Center, the Houston-based outpost of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and most of his neighbors were astronauts, contractors and engineers at NASA. His father was a NASA astronaut and while other families had magazines, bills and schoolbooks lying around, in Garriott's household, space

One thing explorers have in common… they challenge the limits of their physical bodies. The ability to bump up against the edge of the impossible, and then push a little bit further, is what sets them apart from others. Dr. Stig Severinsen is one such explorer, and his recent conversation with Richard is compelling. Stig learned at an early age as a competitive swimmer that he could hold his breath longer than the other swimmers if he would relax. This gave him a natural edge against the others,
