BUCKiT® #28-The Best of 2018: BUCKiT® – Tick It Before You Kick It® | Part 2

Welcome to the second episode of a 2-part “Best of BUCKiT® with Phil Keoghan” podcast. Over the last year, “BUCKiT®” has been a place for mavericks, innovators, and disrupters. Those who have swerved off the predictable road and epitomize what it means to “tick it before you kick it®.” In this episode, we will take a look back at those who have turned obstacles into opportunities, defied insurmountable odds, broken stereotypes, achieved seemingly impossible physical feats, and even cheated death. My guests also share some words of wisdom, in addition to giving tips for taking life by the horns and applying the “BUCKiT®” mentality to any situation. In this episode, we revisit some of the most memorable moments with guests like Susan Zirinsky, a world class story teller who prefers to be at the frontlines. Mariana van Zeller, another journalist who is not afraid of putting her life on the line for a story. David Downs, after defeating cancer not once, but twice, was then given news that turned his life upside down again. Ethan Zohn, “Survivor-Africa” winner and non-profit CEO, who also experienced the harsh reality of cancer. Phil McCarthy, an elite Ultramarathon runner who has raced in dozens of marathons and ultras, including running in the Badwater Ultramarathon in California’s Death Valley three times. Matt Iseman, TV host, cancer survivor, health advocate, and winner of “The Celebrity Apprentice”, graduated Princeton with honors and completed medical school only to walk away from it all to become a comedian. J.J. Kelly, award winning documentary filmmaker, wildlife conservationist, and explorer, ventures way off the beaten pass, putting his life at risk to cover stories focusing on wildlife crime and conservation. And, hear from Noel Blanc, son of legendary American voice actor, the late Mel Blanc, “the man of a thousand voices in over 5000 cartoons.” Zane Lowe, radio personality, who had a moment in his career where the feeling of rejection and failure almost knocked the confidence right out of him.  Roger Steffens, who has the world’s most extensive collection of Marley/ Reggae memorabilia as well as an incredible knowledge of the history of reggae. Kit Karzen, former pro cyclist and proud member of the LGBTQ community, who understands what it feels like to be different, discriminated against, and to have others try to decide your rights for you.
