Adam Ruggiero, Editor-in-Chief and Podcast Host at GearJunkie, joins me for a riveting and wide-ranging conversation. From media trips gone wrong to how we should think about AI from a journalism standpoint, this discussion is engaging and exciting. GearJunkie is an online hub for outdoor adventure, offering expert gear reviews, the latest outdoor trends, and inspiring stories for adventurers. Adam shares his experience living and working on a coffee farm in Hawaii, makes a case for journalism school, and gives a behind-the-scenes look at how to grab an editor’s attention if you're looking to get your product tested. My favorite quote from the episode: “Don't underestimate your ability to figure out more than you think you know when you embark on [the journey of quitting your job and taking a chance].” You can follow Who Runs This Park on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or YouTube, can email us at [email protected] or check us out online at whorunsthispark.com.  Sign up for the Who Runs This Park’s newsletter at linktr.ee/whorunsthispark.  Who Runs This Park is produced by Maddie Pellman with music by Danielle Bees.
