“A Real-Life Indiana Jones,” PART 1 - Episode 15
Erik interviews Dr. Jack Wheeler, the “real-life Indiana Jones.” After becoming the youngest-ever Eagle Scout at just 12 years old, Wheeler went on to become the youngest person ever to reach the summit of the Matterhorn at 14 - at which point he decided to dedicate his life to the pursuit of extraordinary adventure. Jack relates some of his most incredible experiences, including being adopted into a tribe of Jivoroa head-shrinkers in Ecuador, hunting a tiger that had killed 20 South Vietnamese villagers, making “first contact” with three separate tribes all over the world, and conducting a record-setting parachute jump onto the North Pole.
Stay tuned for even more amazing stories from Dr. Jack Wheeler in PART 2 of this fascinating interview, coming soon.

The fact that the founder of Blackwater is doing a podcast is fucking awesome.

No doubt this man played an important part in who you became. My mentor at 16 years old was a navigator on a C-130 during the Tet Offensive in Vietnam. Jay showed me that I could do ANYTHING!!! To his regret ( and mine) I never joined the military but went on to do many of the same things Dr. Wheeler did including visiting some of the same tribal people. This was a very enjoyable podcast, thanks!

It reminds me of the Austrian guy they made, Seven Years In Tibet, movie about. I think it's time to post second part.

Great one, Erik. An amazing man -- great inspiration (obviously was a huge one to you). As an aside, THANK YOU -- in Iraq Humvees // armored cars had the BW call codes printed and stuck on the dash. When the military could not come (some lawyer stateside had not made decision) your guys came, often the first call went to them. Your guys even took incoming fire and loaded folks into the Helos to get them safe. No one seems to mention that when speaking of you.

Love the podcast Erik, very informative and interesting throughout. It would be cool if you could have some of your former Blackwater colleagues on the show to recount their experience working for the organisation.
