The Genuinely Interested Podcast Ep 34 - Jack Steward - Rock The Park
Jack is the co-host of the popular outdoors show Rock The Park
Turning a hobby and/or a love of the outdoors into an actual show is something that most people would only dream of, but Jack and Colton managed to turn that dream into a reality. They travel the country going to amazing national parks and forests and show the beauty and fun of the outdoors. What I like about the show, is that Jack and Colton bring you the perspective of the everyday person and /or weekend warrior - this isn't your crazy over the top, survival in the jungle type of show. The national parks in the US are some of the most beautiful in the world, and Jack and Colton portray just that.
From climbing 14ers in Colorado to enjoying the deserts of Utah or California, there is always a sense of leaving with more once you experience nature. Jack and I talked about how the show came about, his relationship with Colton, bears and bear safety, some of his favorite places, and what nature really means to him. We even discussed dogs because I mean, they're dogs. Who doesn't want to talk about dogs?
This was a great conversation, I really enjoyed it - and I'm sure you guys will as well.
Hopefully, Jack and I will get to do a hike together in the post-COVID future. But for now, enjoy the podcast
My Take - Nature - the mountains, the beaches, the trees, the trails, and the lakes and streams all offer us a chance to disconnect from the material and connect to the internal. This is a great time to enjoy some of the marvelous natural gifts that surround us. Go on a hike, jump in a lake, climb a mountain, go camping, whatever it is you enjoy doing in the outdoors, do it now. Recharge those batteries, put your phone away, release the stress, connect with friends or family, or just be by yourself cloaked by nature.
