Come hang out with Philip Lemoine and I as we discuss everything from food videography and photography to recycling and farming to house parties and skateboarding. I feel like we could have talked for two more hours lol. Philip has a great YouTube channel out of Hawaii about how to make cooking videos, he also has some great recipes on there. I myself have used some of his tips and tricks. The beauty is it works for more than just cooking videos, so I think anyone who is thinking about making a channel about how to make anything would get a lot out of his channel.

I love Jiu-jitsu, it was a huge influence in my life growing up. A few weeks ago my twin brother came across a video of my fighting when I was a kid. I got in contact with the person who uploaded the video to this women's grappling channel and he put me in contact with Jen Haas, a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu brown belt and IBJJF gold medalist.  Women don't usually get a lot of coverage in the jiujitsu world, like many sports it is male dominated, but it has many benefits for women so we would like to advocated for more women to get involved.   Jen is starting a women's program at here school,  Fredson Paixo Academy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Go check it out! If you're not in the area check out your local jiujitsu gym.  If you're in NJ I recommend my friends at Momentum in Nutley, NJ. They also do a women's class and they have a great community.  Jen competing at IBJJF https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6C7UVxVga0 Video's of me fighting that inspired this interview: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAaKJwZsPF9wHhc6De1a_81wiyEgwekUa

Beverly and Gaynor live on a Sailboat! Their channels depicts what it's like to live and cook at sea, all while eating gluten free! I found our conversation fascinating. Especially when it comes to some of the energy saving gadgets they use on their boat.  The wonderbag and the thermal slow cooker are great examples of merging ancient cooking techniques and modern technology.  I also loved the hand crank food processor. Cooks Tour Afloat is their gluten free cooking channel. I really enjoyed this UK classic cottage pie recipe and how they turned the leftovers into to two separate dishes. Nothing goes to waste! (Even though my internal Italian Nonna had to look away lol) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthRLhFfXlQf2adN5UJ9upw If you're interested in what the day to day is like living on a sailboat then check out Sailing Yacht Salty Lass! https://www.youtube.com/c/SailingYachtSaltyLass/featured  Wonderbag slow cooker https://www.wonderbagworld.com/  Thermal slow cooker https://amzn.to/2Gb99V2  hand crank food processor https://amzn.to/3hWymQB
