"But it makes a lot of sense especially when you think about how traditional healers and shamans have worked, they haven't felt that separation from nature like Western medics do. And so to rely on the knowledge of other species actually makes a lot of sense. It's probably a lot more than we know at the moment." - Jaap de Roode Jaap de Roode is a biology professor at Emory University, and he is the author of an astonishing new book called Doctors by Nature How Ants, Apes, and Other Animals Heal Themselves . I say astonishing because I had no idea about so much of what he explores in his book. It never occured to me to consider that other species use medicine and have been healing themselves forever. Jaap tells stories of animals across nature, from bumblebees to chimpanzees, how they use plants and natural substances to treat infections, to ward off parasites, to self-medicate. There's so much that we have learned from them, and there's so much more that we still can.…

Jason Will is the Founder and CEO behind Zipkick, a startup determined to personalize the travel booking process. With brand ambassador Scott Eddy behind the wheel, I jumped onboard the Zipkick roadtrip – a cross-country tour to build hype around the launch of the Zipkick smartphone apps. Growing up playing competitive hockey left Jason with little chance to travel as a kid but plenty of competitive drive to be a champion. In this conversation, we delve into that inner-fuel and what it takes to launch and run a startup in the tech and travel industries.

215: Show the World to Itself with Kasha Slavner 34:54

Today’s guest is a photographer, filmmaker, blogger, and social entrepreneur. And she’s also new to international travel, but she’s also just 17, which means she’s getting quite a headstart at building a life of travel, exploring her curiosity and creativity through The Global Sunrisers Project, a documentary film project she’s building. Through this project, and her travels, Kasha Slavner explores the emotional value exposing yourself at a young age to difference, and why it’s so important to become what’s widely known as a global citizen. I met Kasha very briefly in Portland, but I’ve been curious about what she’s up to for over a year now — which is to say that she’s clearly determined to make a difference with The Global Sunrisers.…

214: Sharing a Love of Thailand with Christophe Cappon 36:47

“We think we know the plan, right? But the plan always tends to change on us. I had no idea. But I knew that something needed to change. I grew up in the city as a teenager. I always had this intrinsic feeling that at some point I wanted to get out and to see the world. I didn’t know how that was going to happen. But there was this golden thread that was consistent. It was maybe a little buried. There were doubts and there were fears. There were other pressures, that were like ‘Stay in Toronto!’ ‘Be like everyone else!’ but hey. Sometimes you just need to go with your gut.” - Christophe Cappon Christophe Cappon is a Canadian who’s uprooted his life to move to Chiang Mai, Thailand, where he founded Thailand Yoga Holidays — an atypical yoga school that integrates the surroundings of Northern Thailand — it’s life, it’s food, and culture - into a series of retreats. Christophe's decision to move to Chiang Mai was not an easy one and was quickly followed by a bout of Dengue Fever. Through this struggle, which he describes as an organic process, Christophe unlocked a love of the people and lifestyle of Thailand. He planted roots and built a school that now is "rolling really well," in his words. To me, his story is an example of the benefit of being open to being unplanned, being challenged, and being receptive to new experience. I’m excited to sit down and explore his decision to build a life around his desire to see the world and explore his interests, rather than let these things remain hobbies and past-times.
