Diving Into Life: Talking To A True Adventurer: a conversation with Clay Wilcox

This episode of the Blue Earth Podcast is a conversation with Clay Wilcox, friend of our podcast host, Richard Hyman.

Clay is an accomplished SCUBA diver, U.S. mountain bike champ, commercial aviation pilot, and he’s quite the chef! Get this…as a teenager he spent a summer working in Martha Stewart’s kitchen!

It so happened that Clay was mid-way through commercial diving school in New York, when he got a chance to board the famed ocean explorer, Jacques Cousteau’s ship, Calypso…as a fill-in cook. That eventually led to becoming a Cousteau diver.
