Alex Kwon Colby is a Colorado-raised Korean adoptee who was diagnosed with ADHD a year before we recorded this episode. From falling asleep in class every day in middle school and getting suspended in college, to finding filmmaking and now running multiple successful content production businesses (working with the likes of Paris Hilton and The Rock), Alex talks about how getting treated for ADHD is teaching him to slow down and be kinder to himself. 

Recorded in NYC on Feb. 22, 2025.

My very first guest is Anand Varma, a National Geographic photographer and Explorer based in Berkeley, California. With his background in biology, Anand uses innovative photographic techniques – sometimes making his own equipment – to capture the natural world in ways that have never been seen. His photographs have shown the hidden life cycles of bees, lightning-fast hummingbird behavior, and jaw-dropping close-ups of parasites that take over insects' bodies. On this episode he shares how he recently realized he had ADHD and took his methodical scientific approach to figuring out his brain. 

Recorded on Feb. 11, 2025 in Washington, DC during the National Geographic Storytellers Summit.
