Today's guest is one of my favorite people to talk to because he has such a unique perspective on life. Atticus discusses a big idea that he has that solved two birds with one stone, AND it's sustainable. He is one of the most resilient people I've ever met... and he raps. I absolutely believe that he can make this happen, did I mention he raps? Enjoy!

One aspect of this podcast I was excited about most was the opportunity to stay in touch with some of my favorite professors from college. This episode is the first of hopefully many great conversations with former professors from Holy Cross. Steve was my American Film professor who exposed me to some of the greatest American Films in the last 100 years. My favorites from the class were Sunset Boulevard (Billy Wilder, 1950), Something Wild (Jonathan Demme, 1986), The Fabulous Baker Boys (Steve Kloves, 1989), Personal Best (Robert Towne, 1982), and the most tragic for last, Moonlight (Barry Jenkins, 2016). These 5 were among 34 of the best films I've ever seen and watching them/discussing them expanded my ability to appreciate films, if nothing else. Thank you again, Steve, for taking the time right before the semester kicked off, I look forward to your Best of 2 Years Ago List every year. Enjoy!

Today, Bradley Hilton makes his third appearance on CodyCast101. Since the last I talked to him, he was packing up for a road trip for the winter months covering the West coast from Washington to Baja. Bradley is a man who lives a very unique life and I'm grateful to get the chance to pick his brain and learn about the experiences that shaped his life through this podcast. We recapped his trip from the Grand Lake, CO to Bend, OR to Baja, Mexico and back. Interwoven throughout this recap, we discussed, Climate Change, psychedelics, diet, life, and so much more. Enjoy!

The first episode of CodyCast101 was posted on June 4, 2020 with Connor Mudrick, a freshman year Montserrat classmate of mine and a member of the Mens Rowing Team. Other than that, we didn't know each other well during our time on the Hill. That changed during Stage 1 of the road trip home in Worcester, MA, back at the Hill. Connor just happened to be the roommate of the friend who's couch I was to be occupying for the next half a week. I wanted to start the podcast there and he was the most eager to sit down with me, for which I'm grateful. And now that a year has passed since my first conversation on CodyCast101, it seemed fitting to have him back on the show to reflect on the crazy last 12 months we've all had; and to reboot this podcast, my mind refreshed, and refocused. It was great to catch up with Connor last week, and consequently, it gave rise to a promise to return in June of 2022! To hash it out once again in the 3rd installment of an annual tradition. Enjoy

Lucas Hildreth is in his first year of medical school at NY Institute of Technology, but he's much more well known around the world as a surfer. Lucas was one of the first people I met at Holy Cross and was always the hardest working guy on the team. A true class act who pushed me to match his work ethic, we caught up on each others lives, got into the anatomy of our bodies and various injuries, the intricacies of our brains and more. Enjoy!

Qi-gong is a millennia old system of coordinated body-posture and movement, breathing and meditation used for health, spirituality and martial-arts training. It is literally translated as qi (or chi) = energy and gong = practice, qi-gong = energy practice. For me personally, it has opened my eyes to the asymmetry that years of athletics has done to my body. Through Kate's zoom classes, I feel like I know so much more about my own body and the process of getting myself back to 100%. Kate and her partner, Akbar, host their class through Healing Circles Langley, an online one-stop-shop for self care. They've got multiple healing circles, a blog, and a growing community all of whom are passionate about safe spaces and healing. Enjoy!

Atticus Kane, also known as his stage name Atti K, is an aspiring rapper from Worcester, MA. Fittingly, We met sophomore year of college during a freestyle session in our boy Travy's truck. Atticus grew up in a completely different world than I did, surrounded by things I didn't even think existed. And he was able to overcome those obstacles and land at a very challenging institution like Holy Cross, something I've always respected him for. I've always been a huge hip-hop fan and his future rap career was something we both became passionate about over the course of our sophomore year. We would talk about hip hop and how he envisioned himself emerging into the rap game, write rhymes together, and whats next for Atti K. Today's conversation is much of the same. We get into what inspires him, his message as an artist, lyrical/poetic rappers vs. mumble rappers, goals, Atti K's next song, and more. Enjoy!

After I met Cam in his backyard shop last summer, I knew I had to talk to him on the show. He and his wife founded C&K Archery roughly a year and a half ago and today they're on the precipice of expanding out of their house and into a new shop with an indoor range. With goals focused on expanding the sport in our youth and bringing together the archery community that reside in the mountains of CO, they're on their way towards becoming prominent members of the community. We discussed the start of his passion for archery and how it led to the creation of his own small business, how flow states play a roll in the shot process, the current state of our country (something I'm very interested in), personality types, gun safety laws, hunting ethics, effective communicators in our politics, the definition of authenticity, and an excellent idea for a hot dog stand... Enjoy!
