Twice 5 Miles Radio welcomes Paris based real estate entrepreneur, writer, and television host Adrian Leeds to Twice 5 Miles radio. Have you ever dreamed of waking up in Paris, making a coffee, and looking out from your 4th-floor window onto your slow-moving Sunday morning neighborhood?  Adrian helps people make their Paris dreams come true, even if they can only visit for a short week. I first met Adrian in 2006 when she invited me to speak at Aprés Midi, one of the many events she organizes for English speaking expats and tourists who visit and live in Paris.  It was a pleasure to sit down with Adrian and talk about a city we both love.  Enjoy the conversation.

Provocative Conversations from Twice 5 Miles Radio is a podcast devoted to candid, often surprising exchanges with artists, thinkers, and cultural instigators who speak from the core. Each episode dives beneath the surface to explore the stories and questions that shape our lives.

I’m James Navé—poet, storyteller, educator, and longtime creative collaborator. With an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and decades of teaching experience across the globe, I help writers and performers tap into their authentic voices through public speaking, creative writing, and the Imaginative Storm method, which I co-developed with Allegra Huston.

My most recent book, 100 Days: A Poetic Memoir After Cancer (3: A Taos Press), documents a hundred days of healing and poetic reckoning. I’m also co-author of Write What You Don’t Know and How to Read for an Audience—practical guides for anyone seeking to speak and write with more truth and power.

I’ve directed festivals, hosted literary salons, taught with Julia Cameron, and memorized over 600 poems. I still believe in the power of a well-told story, the light through stained glass, and the open road with nothing but a podcast and a windshield full of stars.
