One of THE BEST guests. Amazing colorful storytelling. Bravo.

You know a conversation is good when its 3 and a half hours long and when it ends you wish there were more. Great episode!

Paul has an amazing ability to tell a story in a way that makes you feel as if you were there. That is a rare ability. There are lots of people who go into the Amazon, but not everyone can make someone feel as if you're there.

Who else is here because lex is going to the jungle?

I'm 1 hour in and I gotta say that this is easily my favorite guest you've had on by far. This man needs to be protected at all costs. What a gem to humanity.

After 90 minutes of listening to this man I realize how tiny I am, how little I know, and how much the things I care about mean to me.

That little bit about how you become one with the Amazon with the steam coming off of your body and watching it go up into the canopy and coming back down as rain that you then drink, that was beautiful

This has taken my breath away. To know that someone like Paul Rosolie exists gives me hope. Brilliant. Thank you, Lex, for your depth and love you bring to those of us who have found you. How fortunate I am to be one of them.

Love when I have zero expectations for a guest and they turn out to be a gem. This is the type of podcast you pause when you have to step away for a minute. I listened to every word.

I've seen almost your entire library of podcasts. This has to be my favorite so far. incredible story telling.

Definitely one of the best guests on your show. He makes you feel like you're there. Gave me a new appreciation for nature, animals, and the plants with medicine. I didn't want it to end

Its no wonder Lex is going to the Amazon with this guy. Wealth of knowledge and has connections to other very experienced adventurers of the Amazon. Can't wait to hear about it.

I could listen to this man tell stories of the amazon for days. I hope he does more public interviews!

You can always tell a person who simply studies animals from a book and a person that has experienced the animal "soul". Steve Irwin was definetly smiling down that his messages of love and kindness still lives on. Amazing

This is the absolute the BEST podcast Ive ever had the pleasure of listening to. What an incredible storyteller, I could listen to him talk for hours. 👏👏👏

Probably my favorite podcast ever. What a legend, speaking about heroic people with balls.. dude got all my respect

Paul has a beautiful gift of storytelling. What an articulate and thoughtful human being!!!

I cant believe stories this good are free on Youtube. Thank you Lex and Paul

This gold mining Industry in the Amazon is absolutely heartbreaking ! There is no way that I will believe that governments cannot go in and shut this down. It is massively criminal to do that to the rainforest. I didn’t know much about the rainforest or the Amazon, until I started seeing these podcasts, but it has become an obsession of mine to learnabout the animals and the communities and everything about it. Something needs to be done.
