Lindsay is joined by fellow history buff Josh Scott to discuss the life of English privateer, Sir Francis Drake, as well as his Instagram series, Redbeard’s Relics, History Roundtable YouTube series, and his family business, Commodore Coins.
From his profile on PodMatch:
I have always been passionate about history but never saw it as anything more than far off stories that I could never see a real piece of outside of a museum. That is, until I started doing a serious amount of research and found I could source any number of real relics and antiques from just about any period of human history. I started Redbeard's Relics to just share pictures and videos of what I found and thought some people might think it was as cool as I do. Never did I think I would have multiple millions of people watch my content, and have a consistent 300-500k people watching every month. I pride myself on filling in the gaps in our history books that we all learned from in school. I share artifacts you never heard of, ranging vastly in price from very cheap, to multi-million dollar items from across history. I make many of these pieces available to people to purchase and have formed a very successful business around it all! I travel the world sourcing rare treasures from auctions, private sellers, as well as directly from museums who are looking to raise funds for other endeavors. If it exists, I can likely source it and share it's full story. This in turn has brought me dozens of high profile clients who want that treasure that no one else has. Above all however, I care about the history. I strive to preserve history, one relic at a time and share it's history for the next generation.
