October 19, 2022 Episode 31: Chris Surette and Jan-Sebastian La Pierre – the “A For Adventure Guys” – Take Us on an Adventure Indeed!
This adventurous duo met on a 30-hour kayak trip to Sable Island. The unique (insane) experience was only the beginning of the outdoor thrills that Chris and Jan would eventually share. For more than a decade these Nova Scotian nature enthusiasts have brought awareness to land conversation, mental health through the outdoors, and how their kid’s book “A For Adventure” led them to a life of doing what they love. They also offer a crash course on ticks, so that alone is worth tuning in for!

About Make It with Mike and Kristen

From the publisher's feed

Creative people make things in an effort to “make it”. But what does making it really mean? Is it selling out stadiums, having your painting in the Louvre, making enough money from your art to pay your bills, or simply having the privilege of getting to create in your spare time? Success looks different for everyone, and we’re here to explore those paths and what it takes to make them a reality.
