This week, we dive deep (literally) with YouTube legend Scuba Jake. From pulling iPhones and wedding rings out of murky riverbeds to stumbling upon guns and even human remains, Jake shares wild stories from beneath the surface, and how he turned treasure hunting into a full-blown mission for good. We also hit a variety of random topics you might not expect, like wagyu hotdogs, billionaire Carl Allen, staying fit, and where the future of media is headed.Video version: https://www.youtube.com/@VillageFilmsPod
