Show Notes

Will 'Akuna' Robinson is all about those good vibes and embodies the very definition of redefining oneself. This Army Veteran found long-distance hiking as a way to heal and inspire others to 'go for it all.' Akuna has gained attention as the first black male to complete the Triple Crown of Hiking, having successfully hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (2017), Appalachian Trail (2018), and the Continental Divide Trail (2019). His journey has become a mission not just for personal healing but also to share the therapeutic power of nature with veterans, people of color, and everyone who does not fit the stereotype of an outdoorsy person. Akuna is undoubtedly way cooler than Jen and Dyana.
