Teaching Black Kids How to Swim - Nathan Fluellen, TV Host and Entrepreneur

I chat all things adventure with Nate who originally from South Chicago is now a travel blogger, TV show host and entrepreneur. Nate is the star of award winning travel show World Wide Nate. He tells me about his most recent adventure with his 76 yo mom to Antartica including how much it costs to get there, what the journey is like, and why it’s worth seeing. We talk about connecting with people across cultures when we’re traveling. Nate also tells me his passion of his to inspire more black swimmers and surfers, lucrative careers in the world of water including how you can make six figures as a life guard. Nate shares tips for entrepreneurs to steal on how he juggles building three projects simultaneously and his lens of what is home to him.
