• September 2017

Through snippets from his expedition to discover a lost city in Honduras, explorer Steve Elkins takes his audience on a fascinating ride. He shares how when faced with a crazy idea, he stuck with it long enough to take advantage of each and every opportunity until he saw his dream through. His tenacity pays off - and big - when he winds up doing something that effected real change for an entire country, and unexpectedly became part of a global consciousness in the process.
