Thanks for checking out the Nik Hawks Show, where my general mandate is to follow the pursuit of excellence. 

My background is in business, adventure, the military, athletic challenges, and working with world class athletes.

Those are all starting points for my guests, though not always.  I've talked to cryptographers, sleep scientists, authors, reporters, climbers, and adventurers.

All of them have useful insight for YOU, which is the reason I make the show public.  

Whether we're talking about cryptocurrency or rowing a boat across the Atlantic, my idea was to share the conversations I was having with radical people.  Lately I've been adding in my own thoughts in separate Nik-i-sodes.

HISTORY

I started this podcast in 2014, but it wasn't called The Nik Hawks Show. My wife Lee and I own the company Paleo Treats, so I called the show the Paleo Treats Podcast.

Over the course of 50+ episodes it became apparent that the podcast didn’t really have anything to do with Paleo. Sometime around episode 58, based on feedback from listeners and iTunes reviews, I decided to change the name to reflect what I was actually talking about.

That should catch you up to speed for now.

Ever wondered if a 50 year old mother of two could do a man's job? Listen in as we talk with Shawn Alladio, world class PWC rider (Jetski for the uninitiated), big wave rescue specialist, and all around tough human. Shawn talks about big waves, heavy threats, and what it feels like to pull a man out of a burning car.

Shawn is one of our favorite people, she doesn't pull any punches "If you're not eating Paleo Treats then you're f-ing stupid", and when she sees a problem she wades in and gets down to business. She doesn't let anything stop her and she has a way of describing the world that is at once completely foreign and yet totally matches with our own intuition.

While this is one of our longer podcasts we think it's worth every minute. Go ahead, have a listen!
