Randall Gibson - Mowglis Man and World Explorer

About this episode

Randall Gibson shares his fascinating life as a world explorer and environmentalist, including his ancestral ties to a Confederate General.

 Randall Gibson is a Mowglis Man who has led a facinating life, traveling across the oceans of the world in a concrete construction ship that is still afloat to this day, founder of one of the very first environmental institutes (Developing BioSphere Two) Ecotechnics and a member of the Explorers Club. A very interesting sidebar to this conversation is that Randall's ancestor was Confederate General Randall Gibson who became a leader in the post-war movement to expand the rights of African Americans. Wait until you hear who was his Civil War opponent.
