I invite you to enjoy this conversation with freediving World Champion and record-breaking freediver, Katerina Sadurska of Ukraine.

This episode shall serve as the final installment of this four-part series—now we have heard from a total of four World Champion, World Record-holding freedivers.

This conversation with Katerina is a breath of fresh air. I feel a particularly feminine touch in her exposition, which brings great balance to the masculine energy of relentlessly striving for more.

I use feminine and masculine here not in the biological sense, but rather in the archetypal sense—where both sides lie on the same spectrum, each with equal importance and belonging. We must acknowledge and integrate the masculine and feminine elements of our psyche to live a whole life. It’s both a metaphor and a practical lesson we can apply to our individual process in freediving, to freediving as a collective sport, and in our everyday lives.

As such, Katerina’s voice is the keystone of the project, and I am so grateful to her for sharing her brilliant wisdom and gentle touch with us.

Freedivers and nonfreedivers alike! Materialists, minimalists, naturalists, and enhancement…ists!!
Here is a fascinating conversation with freediving legend William Trubridge on the future of sport. AI has erupted onto the scene in our modern world! What consequences will AI technology effect on anti-doping in sport? Human enhancements have burst onto the scene! What need have we for anti-doping when doping IS the game? (See….Enhanced Games coming Memorial Day 2026)

Will culture choose to embrace AI in all its forms, accepting the consequences both imagined and presently unimagined? Will culture choose to embrace human enhancement in hopes of a healthier global population and aspirations of unseen horizons of human performance?
How much say do we have? Is it even up to us at all? Are you willing to take action? How far are you willing to go for the future you want.
One thing is for sure: William Trubridge is a man of action in the fight for the future he wants. Whether I agree or disagree with his ideas or methods, he has my respect.
Enjoy.
PEACE!!

Vitomir Maričić joins Pumacocha Unlimited for a deep dive into the new era of competitive freediving—a new era being ushered in by him, his team, and their students. We discuss what’s changing, what matters most in training, and how elite athletes manage pressure, risk, and unlocking one's full potential.

Vitomir is a world champion freediver, coach of several world champions and world record holders, and he owns several Guinness World Records--including his most recent insane 29 minute 3 second breath hold (after breathing up on pure O2).

Petar Klovar (@petar_klovar) is a multiple time freediving world champion who currently holds absolute world records in two of the four competitive freediving disciplines—the two which do not involve any 'finwear.'

He's freediving’s bad boy. He's constantly under attack. No matter what Petar does, people have an opinion. Some watch in awe, some prey on his downfall...while others actively plot it.

He’s just too good to be true! If it isn't possible for me, it isn't possible for you!

I sat with Petar for two hours to hear his side of the story.

Have a listen.

Here it is! At long last, the Sacred Valley 100 Mile Ultramarathon Rodeo roundup recap bonanza. My third attempt at this personal challenge of mine, for those who are new here. Another failed attempt, more great adventure. This third failure was a tough pill to swallow. I've finally choked it down. The episode is long...over 3.5 hours. It opens with a 30 minute introduction recorded by me alone, a month after the day of the run on June 11. The introduction is somewhat of a love letter. A little bit of heartbreak, and a little bit of hope. Mostly, I'm trying to explain the question I always get..."WHY? Why why why!!" 

Following my solo introduction, the episode transitions to a 3 hour conversation between Trevor and I. My good good buddy who made the trip to Peru to help me see this through. Troubled wazza brewing in the weeks and days leading up to the run, on the big day things didn't go how I envisioned almost from the very beginning and I let the curveballs get the best of me. The fallout from the run was equally as painful. Trevor and I try to move slow and steady, one foot in front of the other, and break the whole thing down. 

It's a hard pill to swallow, but the medicine is working. Trouble, trials, disappointment, agony, joy wonderment, awe, laughs, mind blowing, and bizarre....this Round 3 is one for the memory bank!!! Please enjoy the stories. Thank you for listening. And.............stay tuned for Round 4. PEACE!!!

Welcome back the Dustin, The Wind podcast! 

Thank you all for tuning in after a long hiatus. You’ve made a fantastic decision as we are joined this week by a special guest, a tough and gritty girl in the midst of her own grand adventure— I call her Olivia “In Bolivia” Grazziano. Olivia and I met in Pisac, Peru as she made a pit stop in the Sacred Valley and was caught in the valley's vortex, like countless other's (myself included), in a tale as old as time. 

Olivia has lived nomadically for the past 5 years in a camper van. She's currently trading the van life in to ride a bicycle 10,000 miles+ through South America from the tip of Chile back to the place she calls home, Colorado. She is also an avid climber, skier, and trail runner. 

Professionally, she started out as a humanitarian aid and documentary filmmaker for a production company based in Washington DC. This job took her around the world to Kenya where she lived with and documented the daily lives of the Maasai tribe and into the remote jungles of Cambodia to share the story of successful economic initiatives in communities devastated by the Khmer Rouge. Some other projects included interviewing the stories of refugees and going as an undercover video journalist to capture the aftermath of the Garissa University terror attack and Hong Kong Polytechnic University protests in 2019.  She also runs her own weddings film company called Wild of the Moon.

Hop in the saddle, clip in (if that’s your thing), grab a sip of water and rolllll with us through a little bit of South American bike packing adventure! Olivia shares stories from her bike packing adventure so far from Puerto Natales, Chili to Cusco, Peru-- trials and tribulations with aggressive dogs, a ride in a Chilean ambulance, trusting total strangers separated by a language barrier. She shares insights about the day in the life of a South American bike packer (and being a solo female traveler to boot!). How much ground does she ride in a typical day and how much time in the saddle does that translate to? What are her 5 essential pack items to survive such a journey? Where does she sleep, how does she filter water, what does she eat?

So please...ENJOY this fun conversation between two fellow bike packers and avid travelers and WELCOME BACK to the Dustin, The Wind podcast!

PEACE!
