  • #29 - UNCONVENTIONAL | Good Life Artist - JP

    I catch up with JP, a South Carolina native who lives on the beach at the edge of the Costa Rican Jungle. JP is a fascinating dude and has never been one to live a conventional life...

    JP and I get comfortable in a beachside hut, smoke some weed, drink a few beers and dive head first into hilarious stories - from being chased by an ostrich while mushroom picking to going mountain crazy from months of isolation on a weed farm, we laugh 'til the end. I hope you do to.

  • #23 - ALASKAN FISHERMAN - Lance Preston

    Lance's life is as close to a Hollywood movie as it gets. Our conversation starts with 17-year-old Lance; a boy from New York, who chases his then-girlfriend to Alaska to surprise her. She was sent there by her overbearing and religious father to be as far away from Lance as possible. Lance decides this isn't how the love tale ends. As you find out, this is only the beginning. 

    Our conversation starts in New York in the 80's, and ends in Alaska on a commercial fishing boat, saving his best friends life.

    Strap. yourself. in.

    "Follow your bliss… Wherever your enthusiasm lies, go there. I don't care about what the money is doing or what the seemingly practical story is. I mean, short of just feeding yourself.. once you get the basic BASIC human needs covered, you go where the enthusiasm takes you…. Every time I ever managed to get lucky or have a good time, it's because I did that" - Lance Preston
