After a two-month hiatus of not recording, Machiel Hoek and I sat for a truly inspiring conversation. So good! Machiel joined from Amsterdam and dove right into the world of phobias, fears and anxiety – but as a way to answer the question of what is the meaning of life? We then discussed Burning Man, how his son came to be, and then the lens or mirror we use to make sense of the world. Definitely worth checking out is his best-selling novel, now translated into English and available as "The Girl Who Changed the World." Thank you so much, Machiel for putting such goodness into the world. * To see the full YouTube episode and subscribe, visit: https://youtu.be/nTdksVlDL0c * To see this week's photos and others, visit: https://www.shooting-it-raw.com/photo-gallery **** To learn more about Machiel and to order his important novel, visit his website: - https://machielhoek.nl/ To order his book from Amazon.com, visit: - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9K7VX95 **** More from Shooting it RAW: * Websites: Site: https://www.shooting-it-raw.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shootingitraw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shootingitraw/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ran-elfassy/ - Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/a92caaa1-6f09-473f-bd00-9f2e9000b3fa/SHOOTING-IT-RAW-WITH-RAN-ELFASSY - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shooting-it-raw/id1495187250?ign-mpt=uo%3D4 - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6p3NoR69bLG4lZ52FKE2dR - Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/RanElfassy - YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6sqti7YyKrSNUdgw3ONSFg/videos

Welcome aboard Don Sawyer! But actually, it's who you took us on a world tour.

Humble, curious, thoughtful and empathic – listen in to Don's amazing stories of travelling the world and also putting these experiences into text, such as his novel, "The Burning Gem."

Joining me from Melbourne, Melody shared the incredible story of getting to know and even be 'saved' by a wild bottlenose dolphin that researchers named Jock. A journalist by profession, the pandemic and the threats to local dolphin pods sparked her journey into book writing.

It's all about making every second count – and Brent Olson sure knows what that means. What a great way to kickstart Season V of the podcast! As a child, he tried his hand at writing a novel and the sting of rejection set him back... So off he dove into farming. Those were his hands. Then, at the age of 40 and looking for change, he turned his hands to the keyboard, remaking himself as a journalist and columnist. Be sure to check out his books and writing, such as the editorial he mentions that was awarded "Best Editorial in the United States, 2020 (AAEA)". Be prepared to be surprised and inspired.

Welcome back Mathew Hampshire-Waugh! Last time, it was to promote his book on getting to a net-zero carbon life, and this time it was how to create your climate kitchen. We talked shop about where emissions come from, and how one of the biggest spots where we can all get involved is around what we buy – to eat. Fact is, the toll on our climate from agriculture, livestock and industrial fishing is significant. So what we put on our plates has a direct (even if individually small) impact. Thankfully, Mathew created a cookbook that's here to help. Do you like good food? Do you like to cook? Do you want to make a difference, learn more about Mathew's book and his science-based approach! * To see the full YouTube episode and subscribe, visit: https://youtu.be/iBPR1ILmjdk * To see this week's photos and others, visit: https://www.shooting-it-raw.com/photo-gallery **** To learn more about Mathew Hampshire-Waugh's work, visit: Climate Change Kitchen Book: https://net-zero.blog/climatechangekitchen Net-Zero Blog: https://net-zero.blog/ Previous Shooting it RAW! podcast episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bECQnb_j6uU&t=94s **** More from Shooting it RAW: * Websites: Site: https://www.shooting-it-raw.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shootingitraw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shootingitraw/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ran-elfassy/ - Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/a92caaa1-6f09-473f-bd00-9f2e9000b3fa/SHOOTING-IT-RAW-WITH-RAN-ELFASSY - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shooting-it-raw/id1495187250?ign-mpt=uo%3D4 - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6p3NoR69bLG4lZ52FKE2dR - Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/RanElfassy - YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6sqti7YyKrSNUdgw3ONSFg/videos

Make no mistake – the world is there to be discovered, and people like Molly Hayden are here to remind us to think BIG. Our connection was from my sister in Savannah, where she met Molly. Then Molly moved to Korea, and once I returned to Hong Kong Molly and I finally got on a call and I was able to take a look at her life in photos. A creative spirit who seeks amazing people (e.g. the Haenyeo divers in Korea), Molly has explored the world to keep expending her horizons. Sure, some people are perfectly happy being homebodies who never stray far from their hometowns. But then there are humans like Molly who understand the importance of expanding our view to go far beyond the horizon.
