    Every conversation is easy to listen AND deep. Honest, hopeful—what we need more of.

    I came across Doug’s podcast some months ago when he interview Stephan Casmiro, Adventure Journal founder/editor.

    I especially benefited from the conversation with Brooke Williams. And lots more good in there too.

    The more episodes I listen to, the more they flow together with common themes—and it all relates to real, everyday life.

    All around great podcast.

  • Outdoors is the place to be!

    In a world that is more and more online and digital it’s essential we get our feet wet and our heads into real open spaces that have no end. Grounding in nature whether it’s ocean swimming, walking on dewy grass. climbing mountains or just a simple nature stroll awakens the soul and ignites our inner connection to all that’s important. Thank you Doug for creating the space for infinite conversations and angles on these key topics!
