Jim Wiltens on Deer Crossing Camp

Jim Wiltens is a modern-day Indiana Jones, an incredibly powerful teacher, and a huge figure in my life since age 11. I’m honored to finally get him on the podcast. As the founder and director of Deer Crossing Camp (deercrossingcamp.com), an off-grid wilderness summer camp in California, Jim helps kids develop serious outdoor skills and resilient attitudes. We discuss Deer Crossing's intensive teen leadership program, how Jim teaches attitude and "meta-skills", why he chose not to pay for his son’s college, and why he almost fired me the first time I worked for him. * * * Show your love for the podcast by supporting it on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/blakeboles
