Episode 219 Show Notes for Kalvin Evans Interview

Hello Everyone everywhere, this is Pastor Robert Thibodeau and I want to welcome you to another DUAL BROADCAST of the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast and the Everything Church Related podcast. Now, by now you know, if we are doing a dual broadcast, then you know we have something special lined up for you today.

Are you into fitness? Are you into wellness and healthy eating? Are you into rock climbing? Are you into kayaking or hiking? Are you into survival training and preparedness? How about a lifestyle that incorporates all three?

I have the distinct pleasure of having on the line the owner of Xodus Ventures located in the North Fork Valley in Colorado, Kalvin Evans. I met Kalvin a few weeks ago at a TEDx Wilmington event in Wilmington, Delaware. I was so impressed by his talk, I reached out and he agreed to join us today on the podcast. Let me tell you a little bit about Kalvin and you will see why I reached out…

Kalvin is the owner of Xodus Ventures, LLC. He has a passion for fitness, wellness, adventure, and changing people’s lives! Since 1998, he has been involved in fitness from leading Boot Camp workouts, Reebok Cycling Instruction and Personal Training, to Kettle Bell Training. He has also coordinated adventure trips for kids and adults since the year 2000, ranging from rock-climbing and kayaking to hiking and mountain biking!

After spending nearly 3 years at North Bay, an outdoor environmental adventure camp near Baltimore Maryland, Kalvin Evans and family relocated to Colorado to launch their fitness/adventure/survival consulting business – helping clients to get healthy, in shape, and living life as an adventure.

His goal is to create a new wave in fitness, survival, and adventure training using non-traditional forms of training. In 2011, he was selected to compete on the reality television program, “One Man Army: Fear Is Not An Option”which aired on the Discovery Channel – and I was a viewer of that program as well! Currently, he is training and running an exercise Bootcamp in Paonia, Colorado before launching a national campaign. He wants to offer retreats for individuals who are serious about reaching their health/fitness goals, offer adventure trips, and work with young people in helping them reach their potential.

Your Faith has a lot to do with your business, correct? Tell us about how you incorporate your Faith into your business activities and outreaches?

Now, it is not everyday I get interview a bonfide TV celebrity, so to speak, tell us about the process you went through to get your shot on the Discovery Channel program.

I remember seeing you…and I apologize for not remembering…but what happened? How did you finish? If I remember correctly, there were some amazing obstacle courses they had assembled, correct?

Lets shift gears a bit and talk about your business, Xodus Adventures. Nice name! What inspired you to choose that name?

Tell us about your family life?

Has that shaped what your business is doing in the community?

Tell us about the community outreaches you are involved with?

Tell us how our listeners can help you achieve success in this area?

Kalvin, if someone wanted to reach out to you – maybe ask some question or to do an interview such as this – or to join you on one of your adventurous training programs – how can they do that? How can they get ahold of you?

I will put all of this in the show notes as well.

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
