“Training should be sustainable...from a standpoint of, is it balanced with the rest of your life?"  

Becca Lee has led an unsubscribed life, from leading Outward Bound courses out of college to traveling around in a van (yes!) to training strength-focussed athletes at her gym Strength Ratio, in Asheville NC. We covered training, the challenges of running a business, the responsibility of people to be proactive about maintaining their health, and the personal trajectory of Becca's inspiring life. Such a good conversation.

BEHIND THE SCENES

This was the first interview I've done on the show with someone I hadn't met before. We were introduced through our common friend Sommerville and Anna definitely fits the Unsubscribe mold. Unsurprisingly, when the recording stopped we had some of the best conversation of the morning, we had just been warming up. Still, the conversation in this episode is packed full of insights and I loved meeting Anna and I learned so much from her, I even had a mini-breakthrough as I was editing and could really pay attention to what she was saying. Give it a listen.

EPISODE 008  

"Understand that there is no perfection in the world."  

Chef Matt Collier of Seeds Library Café, in addition to having wide ranging experiences and opinions about food, has a goal: put restaurants out of business. He's put in his 10,000 hours and it's beyond rewarding to share this conversation with someone who has internalized so much about the world of food, cooking and restaurants.

EPISODE 007  

“Who is this person sitting across from me? That’s curiosity, there is no judgement in that question."  

I sat down with Sommerville Bevilaqua fresh out of somatic experiencing training and we talk about what that was like, the art and craft of interviewing via Krista Tippett, and her past and current processes of unsubscription. The poetry of Saint Francis, Rilke, and Hafiz may have been butchered along the way.

Do "farm-to-table" restaurants actually buy and serve "Good Food?" Food transparency advocate Sara Brito founded Good Food 100 Restaurants because she wants (all of us) to know! We talk about the steps Sara took to unsubscribe, her journey from a career of branding for Big Food (Domino's!) to her current livelihood of working to increase public awareness of what Good Food is — where it comes from and the impact restaurants and the rest of us have with our financial choices.

BEHIND THE SCENES

The unassuming Rob Wyatt and I met through Jenna, at one of her All Terrain Yoga classes. I only knew a little about him when we three sat down in front of microphones; I was mesmerized for the next hour-plus.

We hope you're not confused (for too long) when I chime in mid-interview to summarize the key points of a few minutes of dialogue here and there. For the time being we're committed to keeping each edited episode to under an hour. 

We love feedback, feel free to email us at [email protected].

EPISODE 001: What Unsubscribe means to us  EPISODE 001!!!!!!!!  We did it — our first episode! In which we talk about...you can probably guess 😉 We mention not wanting to edit too much and honoring the process (of maturing as podcast hosts, implying the opposite), and then I proceeded to remove over a minute of ums and uhs from […]
