Today I’m welcoming adventurer, Jax Menez Atwell. Previously he shared with us what it was like to be the star of The History Channel’s television series, Missing In Alaska. And now he’s back to tell us about his exciting new show, Journey With Jax! Thank you, Jax for stopping by!

 

 

 

Can you tell us a little about yourself?

I like to describe myself, not by what I do or what I have done but what I am. I am a God fearing adventure lover who gets to be one of the fortunate people in this life that gets to make a living loving what he does! As an investigator, I’m right where I want to be.

 

 

In your previous interview you shared with us your experiences as an investigator on The History Channel’s television series, “Missing In Alaska”. Now you have an exciting new project that’s well underway. Tell us about “Journey With Jax”.

We didn’t struggle long in coming up with name for our new TV project. One thing that I have loved by my followers and friends is the ability to share so much of the world we live in for people who can’t do the things I can do. So, the “Journey” isn’t just mine it is all of us taking on an adventure together. JWJ is an investigative adventure show. We will look at abandoned places, adventures, lost stories, cold cases, and missing people but always coming from an investigative angle!

 

 

What’s the inspiration behind your new show?

To be honest the Journey I intend for JWJ is because I see a world that is truly becoming locked in one direction. A direction of “if it doesn’t exist on google” or “the internet can’t find an answer” then it doesn’t exist. I see our children, teens, and young adults locked into a world no bigger than their phones or tablets.

Our great older generations didn’t operate like that. They tell stories but nobody is listening. Cold cases are forever frozen. The missing stay missing. The abandoned walls of buildings have no champion as they are torn down. I can go on and on but if we don’t find a way to capture these things through investigative efforts they will be lost forever. I intend on doing my part to preserve as much and solve as much as possibly can!

 

 

What kind of locations do you visit throughout your travels for the show?

Every single location we go to for JWJ will be unique. They will originate from a case, the adventure to get to them and work on them will provide the back drop.

 

 

Do you have a favorite location so far?

You know there are so many places that I love, but too be honest I just love discovering new things and seeing things that very few, if any people get to see. So, I honestly don’t care where I am. If I can humanly get there I want to be there.

 

 

When and where will fans be able to tune in to “Journey With Jax”?

We are in a spot with JWJ in this changing digital world that we haven’t wanted to hamstring ourselves until we get really moving. The first investigation we will be working on is filming shortly and moves right into the second in a vastly different location. With all the interest we have been having, we’ve decided to do what we do with JWJ to the best of our abilities. We will know the answer soon, but at this time it could be on a network TV or go full blown digital so we can maintain the best control of it. Regardless, filming is commencing!

What else is in store for Jax Menez Atwell?

I so wish I could answer this question fully, but I am working on a huge project for an international social issue. It is a long way from where I can comment, but if God allows its completion, I hope it really opens some eyes!

I have a main role in a short film called, “The Survivors” premiering in film festivals starting in January. It was one of the most fulfilling films I’ve had the pleasure to work on and I hope the world gets a glimpse of what I feel is an incredible up and coming director.

 

 

Any positive words of wisdom you’d care to share?

Live each day like it’s your last and don’t ever believe you are the master of your life. You are a caretaker to what you have been given, so be a diligent steward to simple doors that God and life open or close for you. The only thing you can control is how hard you work, how much effort you put into things, and how much you allow the negative forces affect you. I know so many amazing people that do so much with so little and so many with so much that don’t come close.
