BJ Speaks: An Interview with Cesar Becerra, Filmmaker, Writer & Historian

Join author Billy Jones on Sunday, August 21st (3-4 p.m. EST), for BJ Speaks: An Interview with Cesar Becerra, filmmaker, writer, and historian. Cesar is a former road warrior (when gas was 99 cents a gallon) who drove through all 50 states in a one-year road trip for the Travel Channel television network. A type 2 diabetic, Cesar decided to "thorough-hike" the 2,160 mile Appalachian Trail in 388 days and through all 4 seasons. Now addicted to long distance walking, he has begun the first leg of a 20,000-mile journey (The World Walk for Diabetes) as he attempts to circumnavigate the globe (that's right the planet!) on foot (so far Key West to Arizona). Filmmaker and writer with more than a dozen titles to his resume, he also teaches environmental education at Nature's Classroom and is the lead tour manager for Educational Field Trips. He is an Everglades historian who promotes conservation and love of this natural wonder by touring school groups, friends and family through the park. Far more than an aimless wanderer, Becerra teeters on the edge of two worlds: that as an observer of modern day life and a believer of turning back the clock to a simpler time. He is at the helm of interesting projects that educate, entertain, & inform people about a new (feel free to call it radical) approach of living a balanced and purposeful life.
