    Stick your Neck Out

    John Graham shipped out on a freighter when he was 16, hitchhiked through the Algerian Revolution at 19, and was on the team that made the first ascent of Denali’s North Wall at 20, a climb so dangerous it’s never been repeated. He hitchhiked around the world at 22, working as a correspondent in every war he came across. A US Foreign Service Officer for 15 years, he was in the midst of the 1969 Libyan revolution and the Vietnam War. To the young Graham, adventure was everything, and each brush with death only pushed him to up the ante—and to bury ever deeper the emotional life needed to make him whole. Then it began to change, prompted by agonizing reflections at the height of a battle in Vietnam. At the United Nations, he risked his career, crossing his own government to support initiatives for peace and justice in Asia, Africa, and Cuba. His secret efforts against the UN infuriated racists in the US Congress by engineering a UN plan that helped end apartheid in South Africa. Then came the all-or-nothing bet he was forced to make, fighting for his life in a lifeboat in the middle of a typhoon when his ship caught fire and sank in the Gulf of Alaska. As a global peacebuilder after the Foreign Service, he negotiated with the Khmer Rouge for a cease-fire in Cambodia and helped avert a major strike in Canada, save what’s left of the Everglades, and find long-term environmental solutions in the Pacific Northwest. For years, he contributed to peace efforts in Israel/Palestine (efforts that got him put on George Bush’s No Fly List as a threat to national security) For the last 40 years, he’s been a leader of the Giraffe Heroes Project, a global movement inspiring people to stick their necks out to solve public problems and giving them tools to succeed (giraffe.org). His speeches, blogs, podcasts, and interviews have a global audience. His books include Outdoor Leadership; Stick Your Neck Out–A Street-smart Guide to Creating Change in Your Community and Beyond; a memoir, QUEST: Risk, Adventure, and the Search for Meaning; and Denali Diary, a first-person account of one of the most daring first ascents in North American mountaineering. He has degrees from Harvard and Stanford, neither of which he will ever use.

    The Poet Who Refused to Stay Silent — Vante’s Story

    In this episode, we sit down with Vante, a 30‑year‑old poet and musician who pours every ounce of his truth into his art. Like our guest host Ammie, he writes from the heart — raw, unfiltered, and beautifully human. Vante creates music that speaks openly about his mental health journey. Not for sympathy. Not for attention. But because he knows what it feels like to struggle in silence… and he doesn’t want anyone else to walk that road alone. His mission is simple: Be heard. Be honest. Help someone feel less alone. If you want to connect with him, support his work, or share your own story, you can reach him directly via DM on TikTok (See below) This is more than an interview — it’s a reminder that your voice matters, your story matters, and healing begins when someone finally listens.

    It’s You, Oh F**k, It’s ME on The Journey

    Chad Taylor joins The Journey with a perspective that cuts straight to the heart of how we relate to ourselves and the people we love. As a clinical psychotherapist, he works with individuals and couples facing anxiety, addiction, intimacy challenges, and the deep-rooted patterns that quietly shape our relationships. With nearly two decades of personal recovery and clinical experience behind him, Chad brings forward one confronting truth that I, David Hackett, found both disarming and liberating: most relationship problems aren’t actually about the other person. His book, It’s You, Oh F**k, It’s ME, dives into projection, egocentricity, escapism, attachment, and the unconscious defences we build to avoid real closeness. Chad has a rare ability to blend therapeutic insight with direct, lived honesty—making complex psychological and spiritual ideas feel accessible without diluting their weight. Beyond his private practice, Chad hosts two podcasts exploring relationships and self-awareness, and his work refuses to settle for surface-level advice or quick fixes. Instead, he invites us into responsibility, presence, and repair—the real work beneath the noise. In this episode of The Journey, I share my own reflections alongside Chad’s insights as we explore what it truly means to look inward, own our patterns, and show up differently in the relationships that matter most.
