teZa's co-host Carter joins her, and introduces himself. The two are in Maine, readying to start their nomadic car-camping trip around North America. First, though, they had to fight their way through harrowing busy traffic from less-populated Florida.

teZa has signed her artwork as "ZLORD" for decades, since marrying Carter Lord, her podcast co-host. Here, teZa tells a little about herself, who she is, what motivates her. Next segment, you'll meet the other half of this duo who are documenting their nomadic journey.

While I'm trying to learn how to use the "official" and really funny looking microphone that will have better sound quality, I'm using my good old trusty iPhone. I thought it'd be nice to tell you a little background about who we are: Carter (my man) and me, teZa. He's off on a quick business trip (even though he claims he's "retired") and the dynamic will be different when the two of us are talking. More conversational. So consider this episode a "pre-quel" if you will, filling in the background of who we are (a bit) and what we're up to. Once we get going on our car-camping trip (with tent) who knows what we'll end up talking about, I sure don't. That's the magic of life, isn't it. Just to BE ... and be willing to experience whatever comes up.

Introducing ZLORD with podcast host teZa Lord speaking. Along with her sidekick Carter, the Lords will share their nomadic journey throughout North America, and afterwards, in South America. This pair is not escaping anything. They are discovering! With big hearts and wide-open eyes!
