Persistence, Failure and the Payoff

This is a FIRST for The Diary Of A CEO…a live snake on set, with jungle explorer PAUL ROSOLIE. 

After 20 years surviving jaguars, anacondas, cartels, and uncontacted tribes, he warns of a collapse that could end life on Earth!

Paul Rosolie is an American conservationist who has spent over 2 decades living in the Amazon rainforest. He is the co-founder and director of Junglekeepers, a non-profit protecting areas of rainforest from logging and mining, and is the bestselling author of books such as, ‘Junglekeeper: What It Takes to Change the World’. 

He explains: 

◼️What happens when a live snake is inches from your face

◼️Being surrounded by warriors with 7-foot bows and arrows

◼️Why humans living outside history don’t suffer modern misery

◼️How the jungle keeps you alive when everything goes wrong
