Murray Siple is an artist from North Vancouver. In his early twenties he was on top of the world as an emerging filmmaker in the snowboard and skateboard world and then a few events resulted in him finding his way into a wheelchair. He is driven, passionate, insightful and has a lot of wisdom and inspiration that he shares in this podcast. Thank-you Murray.
Joel Loverin is my absolute Favourite. Pretty much since the first time I met him. And then I went out in the mountains with him and realized he’s an absolute boss on his board, on his sled, on a rope swing, in a fishing boat and now on a Mountain Bike. He’s got an unparalleled passion and love for life. He tells great tales, a lot of them from the mountains around us and in Alaska. I hope you enjoy this podcast and get inspired to learn more about ropes and pursuing your passion.
Delaney Zayak // is a man of the seasons. He’s an organic farmer who likes to get gnarly. He lives on a 5 acre farm in Pemberton with his wife, two kids and his dog Coco(a). He rolls with a crew of Adventure Dads that get after it, like none I’ve seen before. He’s smart, he’s scientific and he’s reflective. I learnt a lot during the course of this podcast and got fired up to commit more to growing my own veggies, sourcing good veggies and generally being a better human.
Martin Gallant has earned the name the Godfather. My favourite part about interviewing him (well maybe my second favourite part) was when he told me he tries to pass on all of his knowledge like people did for him, he rides from the heart and he tries to live a generous life because BC taught him that. My favourite part of this interview was that we recorded it in a hot sauna and then did three cold plunges over the course of an hour. He’s been shaping snowboarding since the 90’s and his life is...
Melissa Schneiderova is an incredible human and she has one of the craziest stories. And the thing that is most inspiring is that for all that she has gone through she has maintained a very positive outlook on life. She’s fierce and feminine which is one of my favourite combos… after recording this podcast I realized that she could probably take me down in one punch…. Because she owns a title in boxing, she’s an ironman and she has experienced more loss than almost anyone I know and yet she stil...
Anna is an Olympian, X-Games Medalist, She’s my first Australian Guest, she lives in Pemberton British Columbia, she was on track to be an lawyer… but I’m glad her love and motivation for the pow has kept her in British Columbia.

Taylor Godber is the best. She's the real deal and such a force on a mountain, a wave, when she puts her pen to paper or cuts up food and makes it taste as good as it looks. Oh and she's an artist. Anyways I love her and if you listen to this podcast episode, you too will fall in love.
Chris Winter is a real delight. When I first moved to Whistler in the early 2000’s All I knew about Chris Winter is that he was a pro skier and he started a charity… zero ceiling and at that point in my life… it blew my mind. So I would think this interview/chat is long overdue … for he is someone that I have always had a certain amount of awe mixing with respect with and now I can add gracious and humble to his list of attributes. I won’t go into too much more. But rest assured that Chris Winte...
Ian Millar is a lifelong explorer, snowboarder, product designer, father, photographer and one of the deepest thinkers I know.

Micayla Gatto is a free ride Mountain Biking champ. And by champion I mean she champions life, and she did podium on the world Downhill tour before her career shapeshifted. She’s quite a force and is in constant pursuit of her personal best. She’s all that you would expect from a lady of British Columbia -- an artist, a musician, a mountain biker, funny as … but the real reason I wanted to interview her was because of the way I felt when I watched her Ferda Girls Parody of Kendrick Lamar’s Be Hu...

If Eric Hoji Hjorleifson isn’t known to you. Well you probably don’t ski. And you definitely don’t ski tour. I think he might be the closest thing to a living legend. As he’s got a feature film called HOJI the story of Eric Hjorleifson. It came out last year by Matchstick and it’s an hour and twenty minute look into the mind of HOJI and the last fifteen years of footage of him skiing in Matchstick Movies. He’s a deep thinker and I pulled him out of his machining shop to do this interview with me...
Leslie Anthony is a lot of things. For one he’s a doctor, a professor, a writer and an author (somehow they seem like different things), a herpetologist and probably the only person I know whose intelligence and scope of knowledge could rival a smart phones. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed being a part of it. Get ready to google some of his terminology and think a little deeper.

Blake Jorgenson is a marriage of artist, photographer, adventurer, business man, scientist and one of the deeper thinkers I know. What I loved most about talking to him is how honest we was and is in the pursuit of creating the images that spell bind us and how the path is not a straight one. And as usual Blake got me thinking deeply about all facets of my life.

Well today is Mother’s day and I wanted to celebrate with an episode with one of Whistler’s Moms. Katrina Strand Mother to Anna and a fierce competitor both on and off the bike. I have always adored Katrina as we always have pretty real conversations and this one time she told me that she was my biggest fan. Which is funny because I have always been a fan of her. The best part of interviewing Katrina is that I got to see inside her world and actually figure out what a dedicated woman she is to p...
Stacy Kohut is a living legend. We spent almost two hours talking about all things that make up life. And we probably could have talked for ten more. He’s had two lives. Before and After an accident where he tried to loop a giant swing all the way around and fell 35 feet down and found himself paralyzed. I’ve always enjoyed seeing Stacy around Whistler. But I must say that the two hours I got to sit down with him at my house was such an honour. He has such depth and perspective with the world an...
