  • 8. Fashion & Flowers w/ Chloe Nørgaard
    Apr 13 2024

    I first met @chloenorgaard in 2009 while we were models in Tokyo (lol). That was pretty much where my modeling career started and ended. But Chloe went on to become a shooting star. She’s not only been the face of some of the biggest brands in the world, but has also been on a mission to add more life and color to it ever since.


    In this episode we remember what it was like playing mannequins in Japan (in the era before the iPhone), as well as talk about Chloe’s quest to plant flowers in urban landscapes from New York City to Addis Ababa.


    Follow Chloe’s work at @wildflowerboom @chloenerdgaard and help preserve & bring more plant life and vibrance to gray places with @miamitropicalgarden & @rainbowoasiiis .


    Just want to add—after our chat, Chloe clued me in to an autonomous zone movement in France called ZAD, or Zone to Defend (zone à défendre). These zones adroitly blockade construction to preserve nature. I’m planning to do an episode solely focused on ZADs (and hopefully visit one this summer with Chloe), but for now you can learn more about them in the book We Are ‘Nature’ Defending Itself by Isabelle Fremeaux and Jay Jordan.

  • 6. Motorcycle Mentality w/ Jeremy Kroeker
    Apr 1 2024

    I first met Jeremy Kroeker in 2011 when we drove across Libya to report on Gaddafi's death. In this episode we remember that wild trip and talk about Jeremy's motorcycle adventures around the world, from Tehran to Ushuaia.

    Jeremy Kroeker is a journalist, editor, and author who has been riding motorcycles in far flung places for decades. In 2003 he left his conservative Mennonite community in Canada to hit the open road. He’s been writing about it ever since. You can read more about his excursions in his books Motorcycle Therapy and Through Dust and Darkness. He also has a great Youtube channel.
