I’m starting to bring on young guests - children of all ages to find out how they’re navigating life. It’s interesting to see a young person grappling with life and it’s very telling of our own inclinations as adults. I’ve learned a great deal of lessons from trying to teach children concepts by breaking it down to bare minimum. This extensive reworking of concepts has solidified my personal understanding which has inspired me to bring young guests on the show.

I don’t like to expose my son to public media, however, he has always wanted to be on an episode of my podcast. Enjoy!

I love looking for the natural compounds and leading research to optimize my health and wellness. Over the years, I’ve frequently turned to CBD to optimize my recovery, reduce inflammation and compliment my exercise. I was unsatisfied with the lotions that were on the market whether it was unclear labeling/sourcing, overpowering scents or low potency so I started City Rain Co with my friend Alfred.

Scott Rokis is a full-time freelance traveling sports photographer. He mostly travels via his van across the northern hemisphere capturing events such as Red Bull’s Rampage (an epic Moutain Biking competition in Utah), Destination Trail’s 200mile races (amazing long-distance trail runs across the Pacific Northwest), rock climbing and more! You can check out his photography at his website https://www.scottrokis.com/

Learning of Scott through his work in photography and interest in outdoor sports, I recognized a common pattern that I see amongst all of the interesting, ambitious and exciting people that I’ve talked to. As Scott would push himself into the uncomfortable and unknown, he’d pursue his curiosity without sacrificing it for immediate comforts. Enthralled with the adult feeling of play, he would “work hard” and find creative solutions to delight in his excitement. From being bound to a highly demanding career in corporations to transitioning to a traveling freelance photographer, his story is all but unattainable to the determined person pursuing their version of the most exciting form of play. What’s more, is Scott’s pursuit of fulfillment was rife with adversity, hardship, unexpected changes and as a result - growth.
