About this episode
Exploration comes in many forms—sometimes it’s venturing into the unknown, and sometimes it’s unearthing the past to understand our future. In this episode of Life’s Tough, Explorers Are Tougher, host Richard Wiese sits down with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to discuss his passion for paleontology, science, and discovery.
From dinosaur digs with his children to the larger mysteries of evolution and extinction, Bobby reflects on how exploration fuels curiosity across generations. He shares why hands-on science is more important than ever, how storytelling connects us to history, and what dinosaurs can teach us about resilience and survival in a changing world.
Blending adventure, science, and a deep appreciation for the natural world, this conversation is a reminder that true exploration is about asking the right questions—whether about the past, the planet, or ourselves.
🚀 Join us for a fascinating journey through time, science, and discovery.
