Crystal Rainbow Borelli was born in raised on Lasqueti one of the Gulf Islands off of Vancouver Island. She was born to be the yogi that she is and she bring so much heart and soul to her classes and her teachings. I love how we chat about her evolution.

Blake Jorgenson is a marriage of artist, photographer, adventurer, business man, scientist and one of the deeper thinkers I know. What I loved most about talking to him is how honest we was and is in the pursuit of creating the images that spell bind us and how the path is not a straight one. And as usual Blake got me thinking deeply about all facets of my life.

My name is Andrea Helleman and I endorse Dom Vallee. She’s a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor, an acupuncturist, a snowboarder, an Olympian Snowboarder and a community event organizer… and probably one of the most equally calm and highly passionate women I know.

Stacy Kohut is a living legend. We spent almost two hours talking about all things that make up life. And we probably could have talked for ten more.  He’s had two lives. Before and After an accident where he tried to loop a giant swing all the way around and fell 35 feet down and found himself paralyzed.  I’ve always enjoyed seeing Stacy around Whistler. But I must say that the two hour...

I think I was most called to interview Leo because he is an absolute talent and I’ve never really had an opportunity to have a full conversation with him.  He’s an award winning cinematographer and director of photography that travels the world capturing breath taking images that literally render me speechless. The last seven years I think he has worked for the Sherpas and now has become a fr...

I don’t even know how to preface Rory Bushfield as he is one of a kind.   When I first met him he was a professional skier that cooked hot dogs outside of the Griz, and then he joined the circus and starred in a reality tv show and found time to start a foundation to preserve the spirit of his late wife and my friend, Sarah Burke.   He is gracious and makes every second count and I think...
