      Episode Summary

      Orest Zub takes us on his journey growing up in Lviv, Ukraine, developing his passion for travel, making friends through tennis while traveling, becoming a digital nomad, and traveling to 129 countries.  He shares the story of how he met his wife, proposed on an airplane, and has since been traveling the world with her for the past 10 years.  Orest talks about the impact of not being in Ukraine during the 2014 revolution and how, in the leadup to the 2022 Russian invasion, he made the decision to go back home and report on the war from inside Ukraine. He reflects on his experiences as the war began, safety considerations for his family, and his first live stream from Ukraine after the bombing began.  Orest explains how he converted his businesses assets, professional network, and marketing skills into a media and PR operation to get information out to the world and cultivate international solidarity to support Ukraine. He talks about the importance of supporting Africans in Ukraine, provides some additional political and historical context for the war, and shares specific ways that you can make humanitarian contributions to Ukraine at this time.  FULL SHOW NOTES AVAIALABLE AT: www.TheMaverickShow.com
