An award-winning journalist, pro big wave surfer, and podcast host with more than four hundred episodes, Kyle Thiermann is curiosity in motion. His podcast guests include longevity expert Dr. Peter Attia, 3x Surfing World Champion Mick Fanning, and his own dad—where the idea for this book began. Kyle has written for Outside, SURFER, and Discovery Channel, covering indigenous conflicts in Chile and exposing how Hawaii’s wild pigs are killing coral. A cultural provocateur at heart, Kyle has spearheaded national advertising campaigns for cult brands including MUD\WTR, Yeti, and Patagonia, crafting billboards above LAX and viral commercials seen by more than one hundred million people. Earlier, Kyle tried stand-up comedy before realizing that 9:00 p.m. is past his bedtime. At least, that’s the story he tells himself.
