I had a conversation with David Enden, an old professor from Colorado State that has been incredibly influential in my life. He helped get this podcast rolling, was an amazing lab professor, and, most of all, mentored me as I prepared for major hip surgery as an 18-year-old. He has provided a lot of wisdom over the years and I'm glad we finally had this talk together. Dave also recently completed the 4x4x48 David Goggins challenge.... in large part because he's a psychopath... but part two will consist of a reflection of that challenge! As for part one, we get into the nitty-gritty of mindset with a dysfunctional body, something a lot of people may relate to.

I had a conversation with Kati and Ambrose Krouse of Bears Etc. a Wildlife Refuge in Montgomery, Texas. We talked about a ton of different things within our own personal journeys through conservation - but I think the part that will especially stick with me is their efforts to engage with their local community's grocery stores, food banks, schools, and building a self-sufficient vegetable garden on-site, that would then be used to feed the animals! We also discuss the beauty of hunting and how that has affected our relationship with the animal kingdom... Enjoy!

Coaching Through Love and Indigenous Social Change w/ Damen Bell-Holter

I had a conversation with Damen Bell-Holter, an afro indigenous man from Hydaburg Alaska who is most well-known for his basketball history which includes playing for D1 Oral Roberts University in Tulsa Oklahoma, Pre-season ball for the Celtics, as well as a few professional stints overseas. However, this does not define him as a man. He has made intentional steps to better the lives of his communities through various different means – a renaissance athlete if you will. He created ‘Break the Bicycle' which was a bike packing trip originally from Bellingham to San Diego that was detoured to Albuquerque, New Mexico that was designed to create conversations about afro-indigenous mental health...  He is now working on various nonprofits within the community of Hydaburg to bring more accessibility to cycling for the community. He also started a podcast recently called “Generations of Journeys” which will capture the journeys of black and indigenous artists, athletes, leaders, and community advocates. The list goes on and we talk about most of it in this pod… Go check him out, he is a really inspiring dude and I learned a lot from this conversation and watching him from afar.

Sacred Sunday #2 w/ DNash and Gold Tooth

A wonderful conversation centered around the essence of love with two long time friends; Dawson Nash and Jarod (Gold Tooth) Ruffing. Here's the transcript of the poem in the beginning:I've spent a lifetime by now finding the essence of love. Does it exist in the wind with a lifelong friend or cuddled up in bed, too cold to work? Does it live in the mountains, beaches, or oceans? Does it exist in a full tank of fuel? What about 40 acres and a mule? Where are you true love? Is it in halls full of mirrors, revealing wounds from angles never seen before? Is it loaded in a 9mm pistol pointed at your brain? Is it in the butt of cigarettes you chain-smoked during finals week?Was I born into it? Does true love flow down through generations of family-like rivers and streams? Are the voices in my head showing me love when they scream?Does it exist on a cross? Does it permeate in Girdwood's moss? What about waves, glaciers, and bears? What about medium-rare steaks with no seasoning?Does love exist even when you're scared?The answer is yes, you just have to say so. For true love begins with what you let in. And it never ends, no matter where you let love out. For love can neither be created nor destroyed, just passed through family and prayers on bended knees.

For this project, I interviewed various mental health professionals in the state of Alaska that work primarily in rural Alaska Native Villages. I sought out the question, how do mental health providers incorporate traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) into their work? There has been substantial evidence that connecting to one's culture is extremely valuable for mental health, especially for indigenous peoples. I got my answer, and more.
