Show notes

Naresh Kumar has logged more than 25,000 human powered miles (running or biking) over the last 4 years wearing his trademark sandals and powered mostly by human kindness and peanut butter.

His miles aren’t logged (hug) his own ego – instead he undertakes these arduous journeys to raise awareness for victims of human trafficking, slavery, and other stains on our society that we like to ignore.

In this episode, we talk about vulnerability, genuine human connection, doing what we can to help others – in big and small ways – and much more.

We’re honored to share Naresh’s story, help bring awareness to these causes and shine a light on an often ignored topic.

Enjoy.
