In this episode of the Silverback Media Podcast, host Marco Mejia talks with David Phillips, a retired U.S. Navy veteran embarking on one of the most ambitious and inspiring endurance missions ever attempted; The Grand Explorer's Crown — also known as Project 327.
David’s goal is to become the first documented person in history to complete this challenge combining the Triple Crown of U.S. Hiking, expeditions to both the North and South Poles, and ascents of the Seven Summits. His mission is deeply rooted in purpose: raising awareness for veteran support and reminding others that life after service can still be filled with passion, challenge, and meaning.
