Sometimes a key moment can make a world of difference in our lives. Those moments are deeply underrepresented in our conversations relative to the importance they play in our lives. We hope to begin to remedy that below.

In 2022, I journeyed with 8 colleagues to the Peruvian Amazon. Our adventure was a two-fold cultural exchange: time spent in Matsés territory in the Loreto Region, as well as time spent with a Kichwa wisdom keeper living along the Napo River. Read more>>

One of the moments that profoundly shaped how I see the world was being in New York City on 9/11. At the time, I was freelancing for the New York Daily News and had just come out of the subway around 8:10 AM, camera bag in tow, on my way to Studio 54 to do some lighting work for a TV show.

The moment I realized how much control I have over my emotions, reactions, and interactions with myself transformed how I moved through life. For years, I operated at a lower vibration, allowing external circumstances and other people to dictate how I felt, acted, or responded. About six years ago, I faced one of my darkest seasons.

Alex and I both moved frequently as children and love to travel. Seeing different styles, customs, and ways of life has and will continue to play a huge role in shaping our perspectives and ideas. We were particularly drawn to Iceland. It’s vast landscapes, cool undertones, and warm, friendly faces. It’s an incredible source of inspiration, with its mix of island, Scandinavian, and old-world vibes. Read more>>

One moment that really shaped how I see the world happened when I was a child. I went with my family to downtown Denver to serve food to people experiencing homelessness. I remember watching an older woman—about the same age as my grandmother—quietly take her plate and sit alone. She didn’t talk to anyone. She didn’t make eye contact. Read more>>
