In this episode, Andy and Jonas sat down with Todd Carmichael. Todd is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, author, television host, and adventure traveler.

He is the co-founder of La Colombe, a coffee company founded on a mission to serve the best coffee, and has since gone on to use its success as a platform to influence meaningful change around the world—including long-term support for Haitian coffee farmers, advocating for National Parks, supporting communities through Feeding America, and promoting social justice, just to name a few of their philanthropic initiatives.

Todd is a regular contributor to Esquire Magazine and hosts two shows on the Travel Channel, Dangerous Grounds and Uncommon Grounds.

In 2008, Todd became the first United States citizen to complete an unassisted solo expedition across Antarctica, reaching the South Pole in a record-breaking 39 days, 7 hours, and 49 minutes. Footage from this expedition was used in an award-winning documentary on the National Geographic Channel entitled Race to the Bottom of the Earth.
