The Path To Total Health feat. Udo Erasmus

Udo has an incredible list of accomplishments; including publishing 5 health books that have sold over 250,000 copies worldwide, selling over 5 million bottles of Udo's Oil, and much more.

We were eager to listen and learn a lot of new things from someone with so much life experience and grateful to have him on our podcast.
Solo Travel For A Living feat. Hey Nadine
Nadine Sykora (more affectionately known as Hey Nadine) didn’t know she would become who she is today when she first started documenting her adventures in New Zealand back in 2010. She wanted to be there because of Lord Of The Rings, among other things. Now, with over 50 countries visited, she has an incredibly dialled-in travel business and continues to inspire men and women around the world.
Her long journey from YouTube sketch comedy artist to YouTube travel vlogger and now a major player in the travel influencer space has been inspirational to many people, including us here at High On Life. In fact, she was the one who told us about working with travel brands in the first place!
On the podcast today, we covered as much as we could; everything from varsity golf to solo travel safety tips, and even tips on how to achieve YouTube fame (hint: it’s possible, but not quick).
We were so excited to have her share knowledge on many aspects of the travel world. Thanks to Nadine for being a friend of High On Life!
Waking Up With Purpose feat. Julian DeSchutter
This week on the podcast, we are so stoked to have Julian DeSchutter join us on the podcast.
Julian leads a movement known as Chasing Sunrise, which started out as a group of friends meeting up at 3am in parking lots so that they could hike mountains to catch the sunrise at the peak. As word of this movement spread in Vancouver, so did the number of people who wanted to get together in the early, early hours of the morning to seek this unique adventure.
In this podcast, we sat down with Julian to talk about how this movement has evolved to have more kinds of adventures (driving to Mexico for tacos is one of them) and include more kinds of adventure-seekers.
This was our longest podcast yet, so brew your favourite coffee and tea as we talked, laughed and got real about what's going on in our lives today.
Mastering Photography and Building a Community feat. Madou El-Khouly
In the short span of three years, Mado (@e.madou on Instagram) has gone from randomly picking up a camera, discovering his passion photography and mastering Photoshop, Lightroom and creating amazing visual artistry, to leading one of Vancouver’s biggest photography communities; #CreatorsOfVancity.
We sat down with Mado to listen to his amazing stories and insights on what it’s like to organize photo meetups with over 50 photographers, along with his tips and tricks on the best way to start getting into photography and Photoshop. And he says “Yes, it’s OKAY TO USE PRESETS!”
It was an incredible hour of knowledge and power and we're so excited about this podcast with you.
Stay high on life.
Exploring A New Path feat. Alissa Hansen
This week we have Alissa Hansen joining us on the podcast. Not only is she a great friend of everyone at High On Life, but she was the life partner of Ryker Gamble for 5 years prior to his passing.

And we're all back in the room together! We've all just returned from separate trips and there's a lot to unpack!
Josh was in Japan. Kenzo was in Tonga exploring the deep oceans and swimming with humpback whales, and Parker, Justis and Ben were away doing a cinematic hike up in Garibaldi, BC.
We dive into the nitty gritty of the challenges of vlogging and documenting our experiences while travelling solo while comparing it to how different it is when we captured our days as a large group in Bali earlier this year.
