- In today’s episode we sit down with a true renaissance man—civil‑engineer‑turned‑ultralight pioneer, author, philanthropist and, proudly, part‑time dishwasher. Glenn VanPesky grew up biking 4,200 miles across the United States, turned a childhood love of sewing into the iconic Gossamer Gear backpacks, and spent three decades balancing a demanding engineering career with a side‑business that never paid him a salary—yet has empowered countless hikers to travel lighter and freer.
Glenn shares how a chance encounter with Ray Jardine’s Pacific Crest Trail Hikers Handbook sparked his obsession with shedding weight, how the simple act of sewing a custom bag for a neighbor turned into a thriving community of DIY backpackers, and why the lessons he learned on the trail—take less, do more—became the backbone of his book
Beyond the gear, Glenn explores the deeper currents of gratitude: appreciating not just what we have, but also the things we don’t have—peace, health, safety—and how ultralight backpacking flips our expectations, reminding us that happiness lives in minimalism, nature, and human connection. He reveals the surprising ways his engineered mindset taught him to focus on the journey rather than the finish line, and how that philosophy fuels his “gratitude fund,” a deliberate financial reserve that lets him respond instantly to strangers in need.
From mounting a bike‑frame bag for a friend with respiratory issues, to washing dishes at a beloved local bakery, to funding a family’s final goodbye or a bucket‑list adventure, Glenn’s stories illustrate how small, intentional actions create outsized ripple effects.
Join us as we unpack:
The origins of Gossamer Gear and the power of DIY craftsmanship
The psychology of gratitude—why we should celebrate the things we don’t want (war, disease, discrimination) as much as the things we do want
How nature, especially the solitude of a lightweight trek, rewires our perspective on need, comfort, and purpose
Practical takeaways for building margin in time, resources, and mindset
A preview of Glenn’s upcoming book, Take Less, Do More: Surprising Life Lessons on Generosity, Gratitude, and Curiosity from an Ultralight Backpacker
Whether you’re a seasoned thru‑hiker, an aspiring minimalist, or simply seeking a fresh lens on thankfulness, this conversation will inspire you to lighten your load, amplify your generosity, and rediscover the extraordinary in everyday life. Press play, and let’s get grateful together.

24/08/2026 | 43 minIn this episode we sit down with Dr. Donald McCoon, a renowned clinical psychologist, researcher, and champion of sustainable well‑being. Over two decades of work in mindfulness neuroscience (including collaborations with Dr. Richard Davidson) and a rich personal history of co‑housing, chronic illness, and family hardship have shaped his mission: to help us thrive on one planet’s worth of resources while nurturing our mental health, relationships, and the Earth itself.
Together we explore:
Co‑housing as a modern‑tribal model – how intentional community design (shared courtyards, common houses, “commons”) fosters real connection, reduces loneliness, and teaches us to live cooperatively.
The “avoidance vs. connection” dilemma – why our culture defaults to light‑hearted, surface‑level interaction, and how we can replace it with skillful, emotionally‑rich dialogue.
Gratitude as a gateway to love – viewing gratitude not just as a feeling but as an act of extending ourselves for mutual spiritual growth, even toward those whose politics differ from our own.
Practical tools for handling unpleasant emotions – swapping criticism for compassionate complaints, embracing the GRL framework (Grace, Repair, Learn), and cultivating the “four thriving strategies” that keep relationships resilient.
From personal practice to planetary health – a look at permaculture, holistic management, mob‑grazing, and the social technologies we need to distribute power equitably—within ourselves, with each other, and with the planet.
Dr. McCoon also shares a sneak‑peek of his 10‑week “One‑Planet Thriving” training, designed to move listeners from zero to one in sustainable well‑being skills.
If you’re ready to shift from avoidance to authentic connection, deepen your gratitude practice, and discover how small community changes can ripple into global impact, hit play—and stay tuned for actionable insights that will help you love yourself, love others, and love the planet a little more each day.

17/08/2026 | 49 minIn today’s episode we sit down with the dynamic Jade Simmons—classically trained concert pianist turned keynote speaker, author, and creator of transformative live experiences. Jade’s mission? To remix the way we think about purpose, proving that it isn’t a distant, lofty “super‑hero” calling but a daily, renewable energy that fuels gratitude, bold action, and real impact.
Starting with a simple yet powerful choice—taking the feeder road instead of the highway—Jade illustrates how slowing down can unlock the very purpose that makes us want to serve, not just succeed. She shares how she moved from “the piano girl who talks” to a global speaker who uses music to cement her messages, and reveals the core insight from her book Purpose: The Remix: “Your purpose isn’t what you do; it’s what happens in others when you do what you do.”
We dive deep into:
Purpose vs. Passion – why passion burns out and purpose never runs dry.
Finding Your Outbreak Effect – practical questions to discover the ripple you create in others.
The Freedom of Showing Up Boldly – from wardrobe dilemmas to corporate stages, how purpose dictates you show up big and different every time.
Gratitude’s Twin: Self‑Criticism – reframing inner stinginess as a barrier to generosity toward ourselves.
Everyday Superheroes – why purpose isn’t reserved for the world’s famous figures; it lives in each of us, from a grocery‑store checkout to a high‑stakes conference.

10/08/2026 | 50 minIn today’s episode we sit down with Dr. Craig Dyer—a trauma‑surgeon, author, and global humanitarian whose life reads like a series of improbable, yet profoundly grateful, chapters.
From being given up for adoption in Monterey, surviving a twisted intestine in high school, and enduring the loss of both parents, Craig turned every hardship into a stepping stone toward medicine. He recounts his climb from a freshman‑year heart‑attack loss to a grueling bicycle crash, a skull fracture, and his father’s battle with stage‑four lung cancer—all while navigating the relentless demands of a surgical residency.
Craig’s story doesn’t stop at the hospital doors of the United States. He takes us to the rugged villages of Honduras, where he’s performed dozens of hernia, gallbladder, and organ‑repair surgeries in makeshift operating rooms—sometimes with a shop‑vac for suction and a dwindling CO₂ tank. He shares unforgettable moments: a Honduran patient braving a treacherous river just to thank him, a scrub nurse whose tears turned into renewed purpose, and a mysterious light that appeared in a dim closet during a marathon of cases.
Through these vivid anecdotes, Craig illustrates how small acts of kindness—buying a coffee for the person behind you, holding a door, or offering a listening ear—create a ripple of gratitude that fuels both giver and receiver. He also reflects on the cultural contrasts he’s witnessed, the power of faith in the face of death, and the “miracles” that happen when preparation meets unexpected grace.
Join us as we explore:
The roots of Craig’s gratitude—how early life challenges forged an empathic, resilient mindset.
Life‑or‑death lessons from the operating table, both in the U.S. and in low‑resource settings.
Stories of gratitude in action, from a patient’s daring river crossing to the quiet heroics of a Honduran well‑builder.
The science‑and‑spirit dialogue that shapes Craig’s view of medicine, faith, and the universe.
If you’ve ever wondered how a surgeon can stay humble, hopeful, and endlessly grateful amid the chaos of trauma and tragedy, this episode is your invitation to listen, reflect, and maybe even pay it forward—one cup of coffee, one act of kindness, at a time.

04/08/2026 | 49 minCeleste opens up about the hidden mental load of motherhood and the rise of the “mommy wine culture” that, for many, became a coping shortcut. She recounts how a panic attack and the looming threat of postpartum depression jolted her from a cycle of daily drinks to a sober lifestyle.
From that fear‑fueled wake‑up call, Celeste discovered a richer, more sustainable source of calm: gratitude, self‑care, and community. She walks us through the pivotal moment when she realized sobriety wasn’t a punishment but a gift, how setting boundaries re‑engineered her relationship with herself and her family, and why listening to our bodies is the first step toward true self‑awareness.
We also get a sneak peek at her upcoming book, It’s Not About the Wine: The Loaded Truth Behind Mommy Wine Culture, a deep dive into why so many parents turn to alcohol and—more importantly—how to break free.
Whether you’re a parent feeling the weight of endless responsibilities, someone curious about a sober life, or simply looking for a fresh perspective on gratitude, this conversation offers actionable insights, heartfelt honesty, and a reminder that the most profound change often begins with a single, courageous decision.
Stay tuned, grab a glass of water (or tea), and get ready to be inspired.
