In this conversation we have the absolute pleasure and privilege of chatting with Bec Fox, a self proclaimed 'wild fox'. Foxy's relationship with the natural world began from very young age, free roaming the family farm which her parents were regenerating. This deep connection to the land led to Bec's love of nature, going ahead and establishing nature camps for city kids from age thirteen.

There was little doubt with this upbringing Bec was destined to work in the outdoors however as she reveals here this path was far from traditional. Foxy shares four decades of tales encompassing : naked solos; leading and mentoring and a deep spiritual connection with the land. Something she delights in sharing with the next generation of Foxy's.

The title of this episode alludes to Mick's laconic, often understated attitude to his life as an outdoor educator and hardcore adventurer in the nature space. A self described lover of the outdoors and what it has to teach all humans, he regales the audience with tales of: solo surfing trips, sea kayaking Bass Strait and the connections with the awesome people that a life filled with adventurers outside has provided.

Yet all his tales are filled with a wry humour, respect for the raw power of nature and a sense of humility, which make him the perfect probe on your next whitewater kayaking trip.

In this episode we chat with John Beede who is a world class adventurer and one truely great human. John has climbed the 7 Summits, has written books, is a motivational speaker and currently facilitates men's retreats, yet in this candid conversation punctuated with humility and humour he opens his soul to our audience. It is so beautifully uplifting to hear such an accomplished mountaineer, perhaps an outdoor guru, share stories of natural connection and transcendence in the world, grounded in moments of personal discovery and enlightenment. Yet to have the skills and stamina to summit the Grand Teton (WY) USA in a day with no tent, no pro and one rope suggests that John is indeed a mountaineer of significant standing. But loves to fill his downtime on expeditions gold panning in his underwear !

Intrigued, enjoy the chat
