Luke Aikins is a skydiver that is known to the masses as the guy who jumped out of a plane at 25,000 feet without a parachute and lived to tell the story.  That is only part of his story.  From personal tragedy to finding the dream sponsor that enabled him to have a career, Luke has always defied the “adrenaline junky” stereotype thrust upon skydivers of his caliber.  On the podcast, we talk about some incredible projects that he’s been a part of and the one he’s currently planning, which will be one of the most insane stunts of all time.
