Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
While in college, he woke up one day and realized the left side of his body was paralyzed.
Says this health crisis was life-changing; after his doctors were left perplexed, he turned to alternative medicine.
Learned that he'd undergone a massive chemical exposure that had killed or disabled many others.
Felt lucky to be alive; this changed his perspective on life in a profound way.
While digging deeper into alternative treatments, he came across Hoxsey Therapy, an herbal cancer treatment.
This became the subject of his first documentary, "Hoxsey: How Healing Becomes a Crime."
After seeing the reaction to the documentary, Kenny and his wife started Bioneers, a nonprofit that brings scientists together to solve environmental issues.
Started to get involved with botanical medicine; founded Seeds of Change to restore "backyard biodiversity" by selling organic, non-hybridized seeds.

While in Seattle, Wash., the team connects with Miss Indigo Blue, a renowned burlesque instructor and performer, and discovers why she decided to take up the bold art form. Her story particularly intrigues Carolyn who finds Miss Indigo Blue's confidence and fearlessness desirable. In Santa Fe, N.M., the Roadtrippers link up with Kenny Ausubel and Nina Simons, co-founders of Bioneers, an organization that brings scientific innovators together to promote social and environmental change. Their story of risk-taking resonates with Sarah who realizes that maybe she "doesn't have to play it so safe."
