    Meet Brandon Roberts: Mirai’s New Apprentice

    Brandon Roberts joins us at the very beginning of his apprenticeship—already having demonstrated exceptional commitment with a six-hour round trip, twice a week, for three months, just to study bonsai at Mirai. In this open and thoughtful conversation, we explore the meaning of apprenticeship: its gravity, its rewards, and the vulnerability of sharing it publicly. Brandon brings a contagious energy that reignites the passion behind the practice, reminding us of the purpose that drives this path. This episode marks week one of what we hope will be a long and meaningful chapter—an origin story, a time capsule, and the start of a pursuit that will echo through the work, the trees, and the small moments in between.
