Inspire Nation Show with Michael Sandler LIFE LESSONS & ADVENTURE FROM ARCTIC ALASKA! Nick Jans | Nature | Spirituality | Meditation | Self-Help | Wildlife | Inspire
If you've ever felt the call of the wild, a desire to live in the great outdoors, for adventure, to spend time by yourself, or simply to visit the giant state of Alaska, then do we have the show for you.
Today I'll be talking with Nick Jans, award-winning writer and photographer and author of numerous books including the Grizzly Maze, A Wolf Called Romeo, and his latest, the Giant's Hand, a life in Arctic Alaska.
Today we'll talk about living in Alaska, North of the Arctic, Circle, what it's like, how it's changed, what we can all learn from it, and what the words Nature and Solitude really mean to us.
That plus we'll talk about the dangers of EDD, just how much a house weighs, what's a 3 Dog Night, and why there's a lot of chicken inside.
