What happens when curiosity becomes your way of moving through the world?
In this episode of Beyond 80%, Ryan sits down with filmmaker, science communicator, and adventurer Chris Baron. From living inside a cave for a week and rappelling into an active volcano to filming wildlife across Africa and producing documentaries for National Geographic, Disney+, PBS, and the BBC, Chris has spent his career chasing questions most people never think to ask.
But this conversation goes beyond filmmaking. Together, Ryan and Chris explore the relationship between curiosity and fear, how uncertainty shapes both our personal and professional lives, and why modern culture often pushes people toward judgment instead of understanding. Chris shares stories from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and reveals the mindset that allows him to stay calm when things don’t go according to plan.
At its core, this episode is about perspective. It’s about learning to sit with uncertainty, embracing the unknown, and remembering that some of life’s most meaningful experiences happen when we stop trying to control everything and simply stay curious.
