Erin shares how Monterey's diverse landscapes and rich automotive history make it the perfect place for a scenic drive. She also reflects on the thrill of cruising in one of the company's classic cars along Highway 1 and 17-Mile Drive. "I just love jumping behind the wheel of that '54 Chevy Bel Air,” says Sollecito. “It couldn't be any cuter, and it sounds great, it drives great, and it turns heads for sure." Next, Johnson is joined by Ben Perlmutter, managing partner at the Big Sur River Inn. A lifelong resident of the area, Ben reflects on the inn's history and its ideal location along the river and Highway 1. "We have these beautiful redwood Adirondack chairs that we place in the river from spring through the fall. It's a beautiful place to stop, take off your shoes, dip 'em in the water, maybe grab a nice cold drink, and truly relax,” says Perlmutter. He also offers insights on must-visit spots, local dining options, and how visitors can practice responsible travel in the area. Finally, Johnson is joined by Justin Cogley, executive chef at the two-Michelin-starred Aubergine in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Cogley describes the exceptional dining experience at Aubergine and the farm-to-table philosophy that defines his cooking. “We're really lucky in this area because there's always great ingredients here,” says Cogley. He also shares his love for the incredible hiking trails in Carmel and Big Sur.

Retired teacher David J. Pitkin has been intrigued by mysteries throughout his life. His personal search for meaning was stimulated by a bout with cancer in 1973. From that event onward, fascinated by the workings of the unconscious mind and on the growing evidence for consciousness surviving body death, he has written five books of researched ghost stories. He studied dream analysis with Dr. Montague Ullman, and believes that dreams of the deceased are often genuine "contact experiences." He lectures widely on parapsychology themes, including ghost stories and near-death experiences. His best collection of New England ghost stories is found in Ghosts of the Northeast (2002), which has sold over 25,000 copies and in his 2010 book, New England Ghosts. Pitkin has served as a professional numerologist and spiritual counselor, using his degree in Counseling Psychology (Goddard College, 1990) to analyze peoples' dreams, personalities and spiritual goals. His book, Spiritual Numerology: Caring for Number One, outlining his unique numerological analytical system, was published in 2000. Though he considers the phenomenon of ghosts to contain the very serious principles on which life begins and ends, he often regales audiences with the humorous that so often accompanies ghost experiences. Pitkin's motto is "Enlighten, Don't Frighten," as he stimulates readers and listeners to ponder the profound issues surrounding death-and life, an unquenchable life that continues on into eternity. He frequently appears on radio and television, addressing issues of the strange phenomena and the unseen world around us. In 2006 Pitkin completed Adirondack Journey, Glens Falls TV-8's series on haunts in the Adirondacks. His updated Saratoga County book, Haunted Saratoga County, was published in 2005, and has become another local best seller. He published New York State Ghosts, Volume 1 in 2006, and Volume 2 in October, 2008, and is currently preparing a third volume in that series. He has found that more people than one would suspect are interested in their life's ending and want it to be a happy one, and he offers suggestions on how to achieve that. His first novel, The Highest Mountain: Death & Life in the Adirondacks, was published in June 2007, and Pitkin is currently working on a sequel, The Explorer: An Adirondack Search, due out in 2014. In March 2009 he released his first album of narrated ghost stories with an Adirondack theme: Adirondack Ghost Stories, Volume One. - www.afterworld.infoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.

Would they win by arguing? Never, a small-town leader warned residents in Adirondack Park where a pitched battle between environmentalists and small-business owners ignited the “Adirondack Wars.” The name described their fight whether to save the area’s pristine wilderness in upstate New York or develop it. “Go back wherever you came from!” a local leader had shouted at an environmentalist. But soon a new message emerged. “Don’t yell at each other. Try to talk to each other.” A Common Ground Alliance was formed to build bridges between warring factions. Civic dialogue led to progress—with nearly a million acres of wild land protected even as Adirondack towns grew more prosperous than they’d been in twenty years. Peaceful coexistence is a start, but Paul taught something even better. To the new believers in Colosse, he said, “Rid yourselves of . . . anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips” (Colossians 3:8). Paul urged them to exchange their old ways for a new nature in Christ. “Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience,” he wrote (v. 12). The invitation is offered today to all believers: surrender our old cantankerous lives to new life in Christ. “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace” (v. 15). Then, in our peace, the world will see Jesus.

This week I'm back with an Adirondacks Pioneer episode about the one and only, William H.H. Murray, better known as Adirondack Murray. Adirondack Murray played a massive role in shaping the Adirondacks as we know them today. His 1869 book, Adventures in the Wilderness, inspired a wave of tourism, introducing city dwellers to the beauty of the Adirondack Mountains. But his influence wasn't without controversy—many who followed his words were unprepared for the harsh realities of the wild, earning them the nickname "Murray's Fools."In this episode, we dive into:✅ Murray's role in popularizing the Adirondacks✅ The tourism boom and backlash of the 1870s✅ How his legacy still impacts outdoor culture todayJoin the next GREAT RANGE ATHLETE 6 week challenge and get in mountain-hiking shape in just 6 weeks from your local gym or your house. Learn more about the Great Range Athlete Team Program HEREOrder my new book "The Adirondack 46 in 18 Hikes: The Complete Guide to the High Peaks" HERELooking for help improving your fitness and resilience for hiking so you can become the strongest version of yourself on and off the trail?

Clara Rice is the Director of Global Marketing at Adirondack Studios. With a career spanning over 17 years in the attractions industry, Clara has worn multiple hats, from theater management to marketing leadership, and has a passion for storytelling and cultural attractions. Adirondack Studios is a renowned design and fabrication company that has been bringing creative visions to life for 50 years. In this interview, Clara talks about your workplace vs. your worth place, the importance of transparency, and building marketing from scratch. Your Workplace vs. Your Worth Place "Make sure you're separating your professional goals from your personal goals." Clara shares this key piece of advice from her father, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between your identity within your workplace and your personal worth. She notes how easy it is to tether one's identity to the brand they work for, potentially losing sight of personal aspirations. Clara also highlighted her LinkedIn posts, where she dives into these topics, helping others find clarity and purpose in their careers. By maintaining a balance, she believes people can better define their individual goals while thriving professionally. The Importance of Transparency "I am very honest, and that comes from the fact that I have benefited from the honesty of others." Clara discussed how sharing personal stories, especially about her sobriety and mental health journey, has inspired her professional connections and LinkedIn audience. Her openness has fostered trust and motivated others to reach out with their own struggles, creating meaningful conversations around vulnerability and wellness. Clara's candor extends to her involvement with the TEA Wellness Council, which focuses on preventing burnout and creating thriving workplace communities. Building Marketing from Scratch "Being a best-kept secret is probably not the best growth strategy for the next 50 years." Clara recounted her journey at Adirondack Studios as their first-ever Director of Global Marketing, a role that she created from the ground up. Her "Make a Scene" campaign became a transformative initiative, celebrating the company's talent and empowering all 300 employees to feel part of the brand's story. From developing recruiting tools to engaging content, Clara detailed how she built a marketing department that not only showcased Adirondack's capabilities but also fostered a collaborative culture across its global locations.   To learn more about Adirondack Studios, visit wemakeascene.com.
