In this episode, I sit down with Josh Jespersen.  Josh is the deputy director of operations at the Silverton Avalanche School, an IFMGA guide, and a former Navy Seal.  We talk about his experience transitioning to civilian life, and how adventures in the mountains helped create perspective and purpose.  Josh climbed and skied all of Colorado's 54 14ers in a record-breaking duration of 138 days, and we discuss how he worked to manage risk with such an objective-driven goal.  He is the founder and president of Veteran's Outdoor Advocacy Group, an organization that works to enable access to outdoor adjunct therapies for all Veterans in need.  We chat about why this is so important, and how the snow, avalanche, and guiding communities can get involved.   We hope you enjoy our conversation.

In Episode 2.4, we hear from Scott Savage about a great project he is working on with the help of Bill Williamson and Ethan Greene. It is the long awaited unveiling of the Avalanche Near Miss database that will hopefully create a safer culture within the professional avalanche community. We then turn inward as we hear from Nancy Bockino of Jackson Hole, WY as she talks about embracing being human in the avalanche environment. Hope you enjoy!!

We chat with Rick Robinson, owner of the Oregon Cabaret Theatre, about how the Cabaret Theater actually got started with a crystal chandelier, the origins of their famous Dick Hay Pie, and how Rick’s dream as a theater student back at UC Davis was simply to “do theater in Ashland”.
