Daulerious

Jan Pierson is a self-proclaimed "bird nerd" (his words, not mine), one of the founders of Field Guides and a veteran of more than 40 years of international birding and guiding. This dude has led birdwatching tours on all seven continents, and he created this gig out of thin air. Yes, I am jealous, and this podcast is me living vicariously through him. It's Jan's world!

It's the new year, 2020, and one of my goals is to "DO MORE," instead of looking at a screen and watching other people DO and live their best lives. That means doing more in my job, more with my family, more with regards to my physical and mental well being, and of course more of this podcast.

And speaking of "DOING," my guest this week really exemplifies this. Elio Rubenstein (not his real name haha), aka The Tiger King (you'll find out why if you listen to the show) has walked a super interesting -- if not meandering -- path through life. He's had a myriad of life experiences, everything from being a teenage security guard, to inventing "the world's best" drum tuner and turning it into a business with his old man, to teaching English in China, to now pursuing an advanced degree in machine learning. 

 

But equally important, this character is just plain funny. He makes me laugh -- a lot -- and so I wanted to catch up with him and learn more about his adventures through life, which he seems to follow like the path of flowing water. Never stressed or anxious about where it's leading him, he calmly and deliberately rambles on! 

 

I hope you are as entertained as much as I am by this guy, and I hope he puts a smile on your face. Here he is, Elio...Elliott...The Tiger King!
