How does one encourage interaction? For Geeg Wiles, he travels around with a 43 lb mascot named Ahab strapped to his back. Seeing Geeg with Ahab, curiosity gets the better of some people, and they come up to Geeg and ask questions. They may even come back with more questions.
On this episode, learn how Geeg uses Ahab as a social experiment in Boise, Idaho with Wes while at The Edge Brewery to launch his beer, Ahab Beer. He sits Ahab in his own chair and waits for people to come to him. Learn how Geeg maneuvers Ahab even while hiking!
Ahab got his start in WWII with Geeg's Grandfather and his war buddies. For the next 8 Decades, Ahab was a motivator for people to get out there and do what they love. Geeg took over Ahab taking him everywhere. Twenty years later, he's developed quite a following on social media of "crew" members who are a core group of people following and taking part in Geeg and Ahab's journey. If there is something Geeg wants to do, and he needs more information or ideas, he'll reach out to the crew to see if anyone can help.
Geeg and Ahab teach people to follow their dreams. Geeg says if he can tote around a 43 lb weight, then people can take the time to follow their passion and interact with others. " How heavy is your excuse?" Geeg asks. "Is it 43 lbs?"
