#28 Fred Jolly | World Traveler

Fred Jolly is from Chenoa, Illinois. He’s 64 years old and since turning 50 he’s done a number of amazing things: He’s visited every single state in America and every national park as well in his and his wife Laura’s RV, He earned a degree in Liberal Arts from where else but Thee University of Chicago, which, if you didn’t know, is one of the most prestigious universities on the planet. He’s hiked over 2,000 miles in 6 months, he also did a 1-day, 24-mile, rim-to-rim hike of the grand canyon which raised $26,000 for the national park foundation. Oh, he’s biked across the country, starred in a film named The Funeral Photographer which is on IMBd, and was featured in a book by Jeri Bernstein called Late Bloomers… Additionally, Fred has also been physically present at a number of historical events including games 4,5,6, and 7 of the Cubs world series games in 2016, the infamous Steve Bartman Cubs playoff game of 03, and even the Presidential inaugurations of Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter, and many more events as well!

This man has really done and seen a lot and it was such a pleasure to sit and talk with him! Prepare to be inspired. I hope you all enjoy this episode as much as I did.
