Take Your Shoes Off First w/ Julia Freeland
Fish Pellets, High School, and Coffee Cups with Dave McCoy
OK, have to admit I had to edit this one a bit! You see, Dave and I…well, we’ve known each other since 7th grade! In this episode, you will get a chance to not only learn about life from the perspective of world travelling expert fly fisherman, incredible photographer, and passionate community builder, but also a little about my history and what makes me so passionate about expanding people’s minds so they can see beyond their own perspectives. Fish pellets are going to have a whole new meaning for you after this!
Dave McCoy is the Owner of Emerald Water Anglers and the artist whose breathtaking work can be viewed at Dave McCoy Photography and on the Emerald Water Anglers website. (Warning, you might lose a good hour day-dreaming of your next vacation while looking at the photos!) Dave uses his photography to capture stories from the world he has travelled extensively and document the beauty of nature as seen from the water’s edge.
Hanging out with Dave always feels a bit surreal because of his genuine presence that has an intensity that is rare in our tech distracted world. You can sense that he is both deeply reflective and a complete goofball who has a joy for life and a passion for waking people up from a “keeping up with the Jones’” technology filled trance to really seeing and living life just as we are – humans that are a part of a beautiful and suffering natural world.
While there are a few curse words and some loud laughs (sorry), you will also be inspired to see the world from a new perspective and perhaps re-think how you are moving through life as you listen to us wind our way through:
- How and why Dave works to maintain discomfort in his life
- How high school and human “fixes” can have big unintended consequences
- Why taboo topics are the key to his business’ success
- Why he never washes his coffee cup
- His vision for re-connecting people with nature and creating a new kind of community
- His secrets for growing a successful business
- What fish pellets and home-waters have to do with your life
In the spirit of Dave and his passion for nature, I hope you enjoy listening to this and are inspired to get out for a walk or hike, perhaps by the edge of a river, and you take the time to just listen and be curious about the beautiful world you live in.
Enjoy!
