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.

This time around we turn from mountains and physical adventure to speak with one of San Diego's finest minds, Lambert Ninteman III.

Lambert isn't just another pretty face, this guy can speak fluent Chinese and French, can reel off the dates of damn near every important event in human history prior to 1980, is a tea master, and in his spare time is getting his MBA and acting as the captain of the SDSU X Prize team going after Qualcomm's Tricorder X prize. This is a competition among the finest minds of our day to develop an iPhone sized device that will tell you anything you want to know about your physical systems from heart rate to cancerous growth detection just by waving it in front of your chest. Or something like that.

Lambert is much more than a brilliant mind, he speaks with feeling on the need for a common set of ethics outside of faith, on how he went from boy to man, and what it means to be a childhood cancer survivor.

Enjoy!
