In this episode Unfiltered talks to Derick Lugo, Author of The Unlikely Thru-Hiker, Host of The Unlikely Stories Podcast, aka Mr. Fabulous. He opens up about how his unexpected thru hike of the Appalachian Trail changed the trajectory of his career and life. He experienced a transformation so complete that he felt he had to take his message to people all over the world, especially young kids that might not experience the outdoors very much.
