## Resource

Join hosts LX and Havok as they dive into an intriguing chat with the legendary Jim Paulk, Naval Academy grad, submarine Officer, marine conservation crusader, and master storyteller. Jim spills the beans, or tomatoes, on his classmates' jaw dropping tales of Holocaust escapes and moonwalks to inventing GPS and dodging WWII bombs in dugout canoes. Hear about his own adventures, like banning gillnets in California, rubbing elbows with The Platters, and the heartwarming "Baby in a Basket" miracle that kicked off a 92-year epic. Packed with wit, wisdom, and a dash of nostalgia, this episode proves relationships are the real superpower. Whether you're a history buff, adventure junkie, or just love a good yarn, Jim's stories will have you hooked faster than a bass on Fishing Friday!
