Adventure, Leadership & Survival:

Join us for the next installment of the Business & Brews Series as we welcome Joel Hungate—adventurer, entrepreneur, healthcare innovator, and cast member of Netflix’s global survival series Outlast—for an evening of storytelling, leadership insight, and unforgettable conversation.

From remote mountain expeditions to high-stakes leadership decisions, Joel brings a rare blend of real-world adventure and executive leadership experience. A biomedical engineer turned healthcare strategist and entrepreneur, Joel has led transformative initiatives in integrated well-being and healthcare innovation while also pursuing extraordinary expeditions across the globe.
