Today, I’m talking to Izzy Lynch and Tessa Treadway. They are British Columbia-based pro skiers, and mothers.

Izzy, along with her sister Zoya Lynch, recently made a documentary called "Motherload."

It follows Izzy and Tessa as they wrangle with topics like grief, personal growth and a yearning for adventure—all framed around family life, and the “load” they must carry, as mothers, to guide their families through the life they are striving for.

Let's talk about goals.

Let’s talk about what it takes to achieve at a high level for many years.

Let’s talk about aging. And shoes, too.

Today, my guest is Malindi Elmore.

Malindi is a Canadian endurance athlete. She’s an Olympian, a teacher, a mom. She has reinvented herself numerous times, athletically and personally.

Perhaps most notably, she competed in the 2004 Summer Olympics in the 1500 metre and is planning a return to the 2021 Summer Olympics in Marathon.

You're lost in the wilderness. You're scared. Maybe hurt?

Who do you call?

Well, if you're on the North Shore of Vancouver, BC, you call North Shore Rescue—the busiest search-and-rescue team in Canada.

Today, I'm chatting with the team leader of NSR, Mike Danks.

We discuss NSR's new docu-series on Knowledge Network (Search & Rescue: North Shore), how search-and-rescue functions, how you can join and how you can avoid being the next call.

Let's talk about adventure. About first descents of rivers like the Amazon and the Yenisey. About a human-powered circumnavigation of the globe. About resilience and determination.

And let's talk about what you can learn from such adventures. Where they can lead you—after you return home.

Today, I'm on conversation with Colin Angus. Colin is an Explore Magazine contributor and a renowned global adventurer—as well as the CTO of a fascinating new tech startup.

Let's learn about this journey!

What is "active transportation?" What does it mean to you?

Why are bikes more popular in 2020 than ever before?

How can we make our cities and highways safer for all users—while contributing to a healthier populace and lowering our overall carbon footprint?

Let's talk about bicycling with Colin Stein—Executive Director of the BC Cycling Coalition for the answers to these questions and so much more.
