Happy When Curious

Today we are joined by Ben Jacobsen-founder of Jacobsen Salt Co in Portland Oregon. Founded in 2011, Jacobsen Salt Co. is the first company to harvest salt in the Pacific Northwest since the 1800s. Since then it has transformed from a local, small business to a nationally recognized brand as America’s leading salt maker. Harvested from the cold, pristine waters of Netarts Bay on the Oregon Coast, its flake and kosher sea salts have garnered worldwide favor for their beautiful presentation and pure taste by chefs and home cooks alike.

Today we are joined by herbalist, adventurer and teacher Callie North. Born and raised on Lopez Island, Washington, Callie spent her youth engrossed in the nature of the Pacific Northwest.

Shortly after, Callie got to spend 72 days living alone in the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Patagonia, Argentina as a contestant on Season 3 of the History Channel show Alone. She fished, foraged, and built shelter using what she could find around her.

For those curious about the book quote we discussed in the interview, here it is below!

“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn."
