Jordan Jonas: Survival, Hunting, Siberia, God, and Winning Alone Season 6 | Lex Fridman Podcast #437

Awesome chatting with you Lex! See you in the 🏔️;)

THIS IS MY BUDDY FROM HIGH SCHOOL IN SANDPOINT. JORDAN IS ONE OF THE SOFTEST HEARTED PEOPLE TO EVER MEET. I KNEW HIM SINCE 8TH GRADE. HES EXTREMELY HUMBLE AND ONE REASON WHY HES ONE AMAZING HUMAN TO KNOW GROWING UP.

I hope people recognize how amazing it is what Jordan Jonas did. The show doesn’t do it justice. At the end, every other contestant was starving, frustrated, and on the brink of quitting or being medically pulled. But Jonas was just living his best life. He was actually releasing trapped animals back into the wild because he had TOO MUCH food and didn’t want to waste it. The show actually had to edit out how much food he was still getting because it would have ruined who was going to win!

I absolutely love the constant laughter of this guest. He's such a joyful spirit.

Jordan didn't seem like he was testing himself like everyone else. He was just... there. Living naturally.

season 6 was crazy. there were 3 people left after 70 days. all of those contestants should get a lot of respect for what they did.

Alone S6 was a life changing watch. Jordan is the most impressive survivalist I've ever seen, what a beast!!

Jordan was thriving rather than surviving. Think he would've made it through the heart of winter quite easily.

Listening to him and realizing Alone was a vacation for this guy. Amazing listen.
