Bonus Episode: Eric Masterson Tells his Story of Hawks, Near-Death, and the Best of Humanity

During this season in the United States, we’re repeatedly told about how divided we are as a nation, so I thought it was important to tell a few stories about how wonderful people can be. To illustrate the point, I interviewed my husband, Eric Masterson, who is an expert birder, author, and survivor of a catastrophic hang gliding crash four years ago this week. That experience profoundly changed both of us for many reasons, one being the tidal wave of kindness we experienced. And this episode covers more than kindness. We talk about following passions, holding plans loosely, and taking risks. My husband is a lot of things, and timid is not one of them.
