Join Andrew and Dubside as they catch up from opposite corners of the continent, swapping stories of sea kayaking adventures from the Apostle Islands to Desolation Sound. Then settle in for the real feast: a deep dive into Dubside’s legendary morning routine. With humor, detail, and a touch of philosophy, Dubside shares the full recipe—and mindset—behind the breakfast he’s perfected over decades. A must-listen for foodies, paddlers, and fans of intentional living. Plus, a beautiful musical tribute to gratitude from Greenland’s own Nanook.
