| 102. Katie Orlinsky: National Geographic Photographer on Vanishing Caribou, Managing Solitude, Obsession, Endurance, and Working the Edge of the Arctic | 06 Nov 2025 | 00:54:42 | |
Photography with Katie Orlinsky: National Geographic Photographer on Vanishing Caribou, Managing Solitude, Obsession, Endurance, and Working the Edge of the Arctic. National Geographic photographer Katie Orlinsky has spent the past decade documenting life in the Arctic, a place where climate, culture, and survival are all intertwined. Her latest exhibition, Vanishing Caribou, now showing at the Natural History Museum in Siena, Italy, captures the heartbreaking decline of Arctic caribou and the Indigenous communities whose lives depend on them. In this conversation, we talk about how she built the project, the balance between beauty and loss, and what it means to tell stories that help the world see differently. We also explore Katie’s creative evolution, from covering conflict zones in Latin America to photographing the far north, and how solitude, obsession, and endurance have shaped her work. She shares lessons on risk-taking, avoiding burnout, and finding hope in a world that often feels like it’s slipping away. This is a conversation about purpose, perseverance, and the power of bearing witness when the world needs it most. Notable Links: ***** This episode is brought to you by Lexar.

Wildlife Photography in the Heart of New York with Jacqueline Emery and David Lei. Jacqueline Emery and David Lei are wildlife photographers and authors of Finding Flaco: Our Year with New York City’s Beloved Owl. In this episode, we explore what it meant to follow Flaco day after day over the course of a year, the lessons his story holds for photographers and wildlife lovers, and how one bird captured the imagination of an entire city. On February 2, 2023, Flaco the Eurasian eagle-owl escaped from his enclosure at the Central Park Zoo and took to the skies of Manhattan. Captive his whole life, he seemed doomed in a city of glass towers, poisons, and noise. Yet against all odds, Flaco learned to hunt, fly, and thrive. For one improbable year, he became more than an owl. He became a symbol of freedom, resilience, and the fragile line between captivity and wildness.

| 98. Lifestyle Photographer Alanna O’Neil: Embracing Mother Maui, How To Become Your Own Creative Lighthouse, and the Power of Intuition | 18 Sep 2025 | 00:53:48 | |
Lifestyle Photography with Alanna O'Neill, Embracing Mother Maui, How To Become Your Own Creative Lighthouse, and the Power of Intuition. Alanna O’Neil is a lifestyle photographer, designer, and author who left the runways of New York fashion for the slower, more intentional rhythm of Maui. Her work — including her books The Art of Picnics and The Outdoor Table — is rooted in visual storytelling, seasonal living, and a soulful connection to nature. But her journey wasn’t linear. From Vermont to Manhattan to Maui, she’s navigated imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the constant pull of outside expectations in order to find her own creative voice. In this conversation we explore what it means to become your own creative lighthouse: learning to trust intuition, resisting comparison, and creating from a place of authenticity rather than approval. We talk about sensitivity as a superpower, why betraying yourself is always worse than betraying your audience, and the lessons Maui has taught her about resilience, growth, and building a life aligned with your values.

Landscape Photography with Matt Payne, the Colorado Way, Personal Vision and Pride, Authenticity, and Vulnerability. Matt Payne is a landscape photographer, accomplished mountaineer, podcaster, and now published author. He has climbed Colorado’s 100 highest mountains, completed the entire 500-mile Colorado Trail, and spent more than a decade building his landscape photography podcast, F-Stop, Collaborate and Listen. His new book, The Colorado Way, pairs his photography with essays on the lessons he’s drawn from a life in the high country—resilience, discipline, and the pursuit of meaning. Matt’s accomplishments extend beyond the mountains and the camera. With a background in psychology and years in nonprofit work, he has woven service, art, and storytelling into a unique career. He leads workshops around the world with Muench Workshops and now steps into the role of author with a book that blends memoir, philosophy, and visual art. In our conversation, we talk about his journey to full-time photography, the rigors of climbing and trekking, the discipline behind his success, and why he believes the outdoors is the ultimate teacher.
