Embark on a journey of discovery as I sit down with my good friend, Mylo Fowler, a remarkable photographer and artist known for his powerful storytelling within the outdoor industry. We first crossed paths at the Canyon de Chelly Ultra Marathon, and today, Mylo shares his unique perspectives on creativity, rooted deeply in his Navajo heritage. Our conversation unfolds with stories of upbringing, weaving through cultural traditions and the enduring lessons from elders that continue to shape our paths. You'll hear about my own dream of becoming a pilot, the financial hurdles that come with flight training, and my dedication to making aviation accessible to communities that have historically been left out.

Together, Mylo and I reflect on the profound significance of family and community, vividly illustrated through the Navajo clan system and the teachings of our ancestors. These insights are interwoven with memories of my childhood in Arizona, marked by a self-sustaining lifestyle taught by my grandfather, emphasizing responsibility and environmental stewardship. We delve into the concept of giving, whether it's through fostering children, expanding family, or committing to humanitarian efforts. Mylo’s personal philanthropic work brings solar power to remote areas of the Navajo reservation, inspired by a deep desire to give back to the community, a value passed down through generations.

Through personal anecdotes and shared experiences, the conversation highlights the transformative power of kindness and empathy. Whether it's Mylo’s photography assignments that bring awareness to critical issues or the simple act of helping a stranger, these stories underscore the potential of small actions to create significant change. The episode culminates in a call to view the world through a lens of understanding and connection, encouraging us all to look beyond divisions. By fostering empathy and compassion, we can contribute to a more united and supportive world.
