4/22/2026: If By Whiskey welcome John Graham of Giraffe Heroes Project

This week on If By Whiskey, Mark & Jake welcome John Graham of the Giraffe Heroes Project—a guy who didn’t just talk about making a difference… he built an entire global movement around it. John is the Executive Director of the Giraffe Heroes Project, which has spent decades spotlighting ordinary people who take real risks to do the right thing (aka the folks making the rest of us look like we “retweeted something brave” and went back to snacks). His work has recognized thousands of unsung heroes, inspired classrooms, and quietly pushed people everywhere to be a little bolder and a little less comfortable. Plus, he literally wrote the book on it: Quest—Risk, Adventure and the Search for Meaning, where he dives into what drives people to choose purpose over comfort and why a meaningful life usually comes with at least a little chaos. Naturally, Mark & Jake respond to all this high-minded courage with jokes, whiskey, and some light self-reflection like, “Does ordering the second drink count as risk-taking?” It’s fun, it’s thoughtful, and it might even nudge you to do something mildly heroic… or at least slightly less lazy. Pour a drink, hang out, and meet a guy who’s spent a lifetime proving that heroism isn’t rare, it’s just usually underreported. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
