Episode 024: Molly Wood (Whale Foundation)

#beyondFLG

Join Michael Che and Colin Jost (aka Cody Bayles and Dan Phillips) as we go #beyondFLG with intellectual, interpersonal, and intergalactic powerhouse; Molly Wood, the executive director for the Whale Foundation. Molly was born and raised in the throws of the Mogollon rim in Show Low, AZ - the place where the main drag is named “Deuce of Clubs.” and the high school is named after your favorite nickname for middle-aged women trolling for younger men - #GoCougars.

In this episode, Molly goes #beyondFLG to discuss her personal interest in botany and herbalism, what led her to taking on a gig as a river guide, and ultimately, what led her to apply and be selected for the executive director position at the Whale Foundation - which is a non-profit company oriented toward connecting the river guiding community with resources for mental health treatment, funding for education/further learning, and medical health treatment. Molly shares about the history of the Whale Foundation including the origins of its name, her vision for going forward, and some challenges she foresees.

It was a bigly pleasure sitting with Molly and to learn how much passion she holds for developing and building community in natural and organic ways, in addition to what GPS coordinates represent her favorite places to be connected to nature. Thanks for tuning-in as we go #beyondFLG with Molly Wood.
