Exploring Nature is an Inside Job with Chris Burkard

Hey everyone, we’ve got another legend on the pod today - Chris Burkard. Chris is a master storyteller, adventurer, and world class Nature Junkie. His jaw dropping photography takes us to some of the most remote and raw places on the planet, he has a TED talk that will motivate you to get way out of your comfort zone, he’s made several award winning films, and his beautiful photo essay books grace the coffee tables of people around the world. He’s even owned alpacas. Seriously. Beyond that, he’s a husband, father, and just a solid human that’s always willing to share his stoke. In true Burkard fashion, he took this interview while parked off the side of the Ring Road in Iceland near a river surrounded by majestic mountains. Chris and I talked about raising kids to explore nature, traversing both the inner landscape of our minds as well as raw outer landscapes, whether or not photography elicits flow, striking the balance between work and play, his new film The Forgotten Coast, making meaning out of trips and stories through continuous reflection, learning how to properly chill out, and what it means to Chris to be an environmentalist. Episode LinksChris Burkard’s InstagramChris Burkard’s BTS InstagramChris Burkard’s Website & Print ShopThe Forgotten Coast FilmPlay by Stuart Brown and Christopher VaughanConnect with Nature JunkieIf anything in this episode was helpful or stoked you out, please hit the share button and tell a friend, leave an awesome review, or comment so we can bend the algorithms toward nature.
