It was somewhat of an accident. Talented young Alex was discovered by the headlining 90s Luscious Jackson by giving them a mix tape (remember tapes?) and then touring with them as their on-stage DJ for years. Another somewhat random moment led to his current gig: Director of Haberdashery for...

“Even though I'm getting older, my heart still beats with youthful energy.” Absolutely. Champions seem to have 2 distinct modes: the smiling, friendly, confident face of the day-to-day, and then there is the intense, no-nonsense one that gets switched on during competition. Lily Yip is a former Chinese Olympic...

As a paramedic, one sees a lot. There is trauma, there is saving people, there is PTSD. Marc was at Sandy Hook, lost a dear friend on 9/11, and has survived 2 personal physical attacks requiring considerable rehab. There is a strength and a joy for living that can...

We last chatted with Monika 4 years ago, and just fell in love with her spirit of openness, curiosity, and adventure. The former motorcycle messenger, Venice, CA pioneer (when it was a pretty dicey place to live), and longtime Disney artist has been a lifelong language enthusiast. She has...

At a certain point in life we get to decide what we want to express to the world and the impact we wish to make. Jason Foster most definitely does not look like an architect; maybe more Rick Rubin savant. Architects have been known to be uptight; Jason is...

Cool is ageless. Creative, unexpected, curious, and living her own path, at 64, Janet is a magnet for young people. The attraction comes from her being in the present milieu of culture, art, and music, while simultaneously tethered to deep ancient traditions dealing with the natural world. Many people...

James Brown, irrepressible, vivacious, and endlessly energetic, is out there living life in the most positive ways imaginable. Having a rather famous namesake is a high bar to live up to, but James is absolutely doing it. Long-time resident in what may be the least racially diverse state in...
