Diego and Charly are a couple of hardworking and creative taqueros! After eating several of their delicious creations, and a brief exchange with Diego, I knew I wanted to get these guys in front of the mic. I met up with them while they worked, and we had a quick chat about tacos, work, Mexico City, and recovering from drunkenness with food. I genuinely wish you could have been there to share and enjoy this one!

Cooper and Pele´ …”This interview is finished.”
Meet our new pal, Dale Smith! Dale is an author, photographer, and all-around creative guy. We met him in Bahia de Los Angeles in Baja California.

Freeman, friends! I’ve met a whole bunch of people on this journey, each of them unique in a special way. Freeman is no exception. We met on the shores of the Salton Sea, in a town called Bombay Beach. A few days later, sitting in a little studio near Joshua Tree National Park, he schooled me on pallet structures, living in India, teaching valuable software development skills to young people, having only one short career, and the joy of riding electric unicycles! Relax a bit, and spend some time with our new, sweet friend, Freeman.

Amy, Whiskey, Lyle, Sunshine, and Juma.
Are YOU on the Bus? According to George Walker (one of the Merry Pranksters), Lyle is! If we ever need a reminder of just how privileged we are to be on this journey, all we need to do is listen to a few minutes of this episode. Lyle is one of the kindest, most thoughtful and genuinely wise people we have had the pleasure of meeting, in an incredibly strong field of kind, thoughtful folks! We sat with him in his home, where we were fortunate enough to be invited guests for three days, in Moose, WY. Everything about the place is incredible, from the views to the cabinetry. We talked about life, work, love, hunting, hand-built boats, carpentry, ghosts, being a worthy descendant, and the pressures of running a pool hall and daycare.
