Hey firends

we're taking a moment to update you all about a few exciting developments and evolutions of the podcast! We have always wanted A Little More Good to be a place of exploration, personal development, and a landing pad for all our curiosities, rabbit holes, and interests as they have grown, expanded and changed over the years. We have absolutely LOVED how you all have embraced this journey of ours, and quite frankly we are just getting started.

We are very excited to share some of the new ideas we've been incubating, and can't wait for you all to come along for the ride as ALMG embraces new voices, divergent perspectives, 'hot topics' and even more of us following what lights us up!

As always, we are forever grateful for all of your support, feedback, time and attention.

Much love,

Z&D

We are very excited to share this conversation with two AMAZING humans. We sat down and chatted with Ashtanga Yoga Teacher and friend of the pod, Tiaga Prem and legendary spiritual teacher, leader, mentor and musician Guru Singh.

This conversation was truly inspirational as we talked about Guru Singh's journey from the San Francisco bay area, to sharing the stage with some world class artists and musicians, to a transformative journey into the majestic copper canyons of Chihuahua Mexico. Through sharing his incredible stories we followed the spirit of the conversation and explored themes like, rites of passage, the loss of meaningful transitions into community, the disaster of out current state of "normal" and how striving to mute ourselves for the sake of fitting in is the worst possible thing we could do.

Guru Singh and Tiaga Prem bring a double dose of humility and wisdom, levity and depth as we journey through this enlightening conversation.

We are so grateful for their wisdom, and guidance, and we are honoured to share this episode with you all.

This was one of our FAVOURITE convos of all time so we just had to reshare it with you. If you aren't already a super fan of best-selling author Christopher McDougall you will be after this episode. Chris brought all kinds of passion, energy, enthusiasm and curiosity into the conversation. Which, we're pretty sure is just how he exists on this planet. He is truly an inspiration in the way he looks at the world, allows his curiosity to lead him, and his desire to unearth the untold and yet beautiful stories no one else is looking for.

We have both been deeply inspired by Christopher's work, specifically his book "Born to run" had a tremendous impact on us as runners, would be adventurers, and lovers of great stories... If you have yet to check it out, be sure to grab a copy and give it a read, you WILL NOT be disappointed!

I left a brief description of the book below, to whet your appetite!

But we KNOW you are going to be inspired by Christopher, and this conversation!

Enjoy,

Z&D

Article: Born to Run- Secrets of the Tarahumara

Book: Born to Run by Christopher McDougall

"Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall is an epic story that explores the hidden tribe of the Tarahumara people in the remote Copper Canyons of Mexico, who are known for their incredible long-distance running ability. The book also delves into the science behind running and how humans are biologically designed to run long distances.

In the book McDougall discusses the idea that modern running shoes with thick soles and excessive support may actually be causing more harm than good, and that a more natural approach to running may lead to fewer injuries. McDougall also presents the argument that humans are evolved to be able to run for long distances, citing studies that show humans are the ultimate endurance athletes.

Overall, "Born to Run" is a fascinating exploration of human evolution and the potential for human endurance, as well as a riveting adventure story that introduces readers to a unique and inspiring community of runners.

This Banana bread is VEGAN?

We are soo excited to share today's episode, we sat down with Erin Ireland! Erin is an incredible force for good in Vancouver's food scene and beyond! She is an entrepreneur, social media maven and advocate for plant-based eating.

In this conversation we heard Erin's story of how Banana Bread changed her life. From leaving her work in broadcast media, to pursuing her new found side hustle of baking and selling her coveted banana bread Erin's evolution didn't stop with a change in her career, but also in her ethics, as she began adopting a plant-based vegan diet and lifestyle.

As her business followed suit, Erin was pleased to see that the taste, quality, and love of her baking was only improved by making her loaves free from animal products. Fast forward to today, and Erin has curated an incredible social media following where she shares vegan recipes, tips, as well as her impressive athletic pursuits. In addition, Erin has grown her brand "To Live For Foods" and most recently her first brick and mortar Bakery "To live for Café"!

We were so happy to share Erin's story and the activism she brings into her daily life, her recipes, the cafe, and beyond.

Grab a slice of Banana Bread and dig into this episode!

"Goodness is contagious" a caption from one of Shauna Nep's Instagram photos gives you a glimpse into her life as a person who is committed to doing a little more, and some times, a LOT more good in the world. Shauna grew up in Richmond BC, and now splits her time between LA and Vancouver as she has worked her way into leading some incredibly impactful philanthropic organizations. In 2020 Shauna was named as one of Billboard Magazines top 40 under 40 Executives in the music industry.

Since then Shauna has continued to grow her impact by serving The Archwell Foundation, which is the philanthropic organization founded by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Shauna helps the foundation meet its purpose of simply doing good.

In this conversation we dive into Shauna roots, how she ended in LA, and how wanting to make a positive impact in the world has always been something she has pursued in her life. In addition, this conversation is one part catch-up between old friends, one part inspiration to get out in the world and be a positive force for change.

We know this conversation will leave you feeling inspired to quite simply, do good.

Peace,

Z&D
