    Matthieu Paley - Dont believe everything in the news

    In this episode I get to sit down with renowned photographer and storyteller, Matthieu Paley. One of the remarkable qualities of Matthieu is his passion to experiment with human experience and to tackle all the psychological challenges of adapting oneself to a new environment to be able to tell an accurate story. We talk about a wide range of topics in this podcast, from self directed learning to the preconceived ideas that we, as humans, have been fed, and having the ability to unlearn and let go of them. It was an absolute joy to experience Matthieu’s energy and sheer intellectual curiosity. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it.
