    #69 | SoCal Hometown Heroes - Exclusive Recording from the 4 Year Anniversary Live Podcast Show feat. Karla Amador (52 Hike Challenge), Cris Hazzard (HikingGuy.com), & Anjelica Avella (Film "Forward)

    #69 | SoCal Hometown Heroes - Exclusive Recording from the 4 Year Anniversary Live Podcast Show feat. Karla Amador (52 Hike Challenge), Cris Hazzard (HikingGuy.com), & Anjelica Avella (Film "Forward)

    On this episode, I release the full recording from our second ever live podcast show. It was filmed at the Just Trek Podcast 4 Year Anniversary celebration on Sat, April 6th at the Happier Camper Outdoor Showroom + Happier Cafe here in Los Angeles. The guest panel featured SoCal Hometown Heroes such as Karla Amador (founder of @52hikechallenge), Cris Hazzard (creator of HikingGuy.com), Anjelica Avella (Lead Protagonist / Story Producer in the film “Forward”), and myself as the moderator. We chatted about each of their impactful work in the community, their most meaningful outdoor adventures / nature experiences, what the community each has cultivated has taught them, and the one must do experience that any outdoor enthusiast should at least do once.  After the group discussion, we opened up a live Q&A to the audience so that everyone could join in on the fun and ask the guests their own questions. The overall group panel talk was inspirational, impactful, informative, entertaining, and a blast of time.

Globetrotters Podcast ,

Such a great listen

Justin is a great podcast host with great and interesting guests. Definitely amps me up to go hiking! Very knowledgeable too.

JSerra_ ,

Good communication

The host really knows how to interview a person. For an example, if things get a little off, and the guest forgets their thoughts, he is able to respark that thought by asking the right questions.

Great podcast

Great interview with Jesse Fernandez. He’s a great dude and has helped a lot of us see things they never thought they would see.
