Marilee Valkass owes her love of nature to her father who introduced her to the deserts and mountains of California at a young age. This fascination has guided her life—leading her down the snowy slopes of Mammoth, cross country in cycling races, and into wilderness areas with her backpack. Jason and Marilee spoke one day in the hills of Bend, OR about her time competing and organizing cycling events, a childhood near the beach, the challenges and rewards of her corporate career, connecting with others by teaching outdoor skills, and the joy of riding in a mini pirate ship.

Glen Van Peski is a retired engineer best know for accidentally starting the ultralight backpacking company Gossamer Gear. He recently published take less. do more., a book reflecting on his adventures in life and nature and how they’ve lead him to gratitude and generosity. Jason and Glen spoke one morning about a boyhood cross-country cycling trip, the realities of managing two businesses and a family, the experience of becoming a published author, the challenges of creating your own gear, and the rewards of being a part-time dishwasher.

Morgan McShea chased her passions for fashion and filmmaking, but ultimately found disillusionment instead. She unexpectedly discovered a greater purpose in the natural environments of the Pacific Northwest. Jason and Morgan sat on the porch of her tiny home one afternoon discussing her path to sustainable practices, the value of forest bathing, why we all need to connect with nature, and the personal rewards of roller derby.
