Roger Fishman hangs out of helicopters when he's not at home being a doting husband and devoted Dad.  He flies around the world shooting extreme environments from 2,000 ft. above ground. Or he goes face to face with a pack of grizzlies in a running river if he's not standing in the path of a herd of elephants. But his life wasn't always so enviable. Our conversation includes... ## How growing up in a broken home with limited money turned out to be a gift. ## How responsibility at a young age translates to being a "logistics guy". ## Who ever heard of a candy enforcer? ## What to say to the Dean of your University when he refuses to let you graduate. ## How helium balloons can kick-start a high-powered career. ## "Live is like pinball. You just have to keep the ball in play." ## How walking away from a career others would kill for can save you. ## Choosing discomfort over comfort, managing your fears and staring wild animals in the eyes at close range. ## If you like what you hear, please Subscribe, leave an iTunes review and spread the word.     See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
