Take a listen to what Bill has learned in his career in the Air Force as a Lieutenant Colonel, as an educator teaching Spanish, and as an officer for the the U.S. Department of State.

Dominique & Fabrice are traveling the world, telling stories, and taking a snapshot of the crazy thing as it spins wildly out of control. We met them in BC, Canada and sat down to eat some chips and have a chat. This is a bonus episode - we apologize for the messy audio quality.

Frazey, in addition to being related to the great and powerful, Charris Ford, is also well known for having been one of the founding members of the Canadian folk band, “The Be Good Tanyas”. Her recent solo works have been incredibly soulful tours of the human condition. In between being a mom, a seamstress, a recent home buyer, and an entertainer, she took a moment to sit with us and share a few stories. If you haven't heard her music before now, no worries, this episode features several tracks from her latest record – Indian Ocean! Share and Enjoy!

This week we are so happy to bring you this gem from Salt Spring Island, British Columbia; a conversation with our new pal, Gary! We met Gary at his shop on the island, Rainbow Road Trading. After about 7 minutes of talking, he invited us over for dinner. We accepted, and are so glad we did. Gary is fascinating, his wife is a sweet and lovely woman who knows her way around a great meal, and their home is an amazing refuge for cats, dogs, and sheep. They were incredibly kind, generous and fun to be around. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.

What can I tell you about Joel Solomon that you might not find out via a Google search? Well, he is as nice in person as he appears to be on camera. Joel is the author of 'The Clean Money Revolution - Reinventing Power, Purpose, and Capitalism'. He is also a true pioneer of responsible finance and has dedicated his life's work to making wealth do as little harm as possible. We sat down with Joel at his home on Cortes Island, BC and had a little chat about life, death, clean money, fiction, happiness, the past, the future, and what it takes to not be a terrible ancestor. We are glad to have met Joel and are proud to bring you this episode. Share and enjoy!

What can we say about this group of dudes? These four have gone the distance and are pursuing their dreams with every bit of their ingenuity, effort, passion, drive, and basically every word you have ever seen on an ad for a supplement, a boner pill or workout routine. Do you have an interest in cannabis? Have you ever smoked grass, maaannnn? If not, don't worry, being a pot-head is not required to enjoy this episode. If you have an interest in hearing about a team of individuals working together to succeed in the face of long odds, you will enjoy this. If you are interested in botany, biology, horticulture, sustainability, or organic farming, there is plenty here for you. If you just like to imagine four hot dudes sharing one thick black microphone, passed roughly back and forth between them, then you are in for a treat!
*Kenny was not present for the recording of the podcast and regrets it deeply.

This episode of the MTP is with the creator and CEO of Xtracycle, a family-commuter-utility longtail bicycle company. Ross was kind enough to invite us over to his home to record with us. We talked about bicycles, socially responsible business practices, podcasting, trusting your intuition, navigating our own hypocrisy, and getting horny on a bike. Ross is an EdgeRunner, a pioneer, and according to his two kids (Kale and Ike, ages 7 and 1), he is one part fish, one part beaver, two parts owl, three parts monkey, one part turtle, one part lion, 3.14 parts dragon. and constitutionally unemployable.

A traveler, a gentleman, a bread making genius, and of course, a lover; our friend J.T. is one of a kind. We got the chance to sit down with him at his home in San Leandro, CA to talk about the value of civility, the joys of travel, the unexpected places where love tends to land, the immigration blues, and Turkish apartment rental. Also, we got the opportunity to test a theory about the universal appeal of Bobby Womack. Stay tuned-in until the end to hear Tiff tell you how the tale ends!
