Happy When Curious
My name is Brady Ryan and I am a sea salt farmer on San Juan Island in Washington State. Ever since I was a child I have felt like my main skill was not that I was smarter or stronger or harder working or braver than anyone else, I was just a little more curious than the average cat. Since becoming a parent and trying to be a good husband and small business owner have taken so much of my energy and attention, I feel like this one superpower I have has fallen by the wayside. This podcast is my attempt to rediscover curiosity through conversation and contemplation. I will be alternating conversations with guests one episode with a short musing of my own the next. The musing episodes will allow me to try to explore ideas that I've heard or that I've come up with in an open ended way. My theory is that exploration is worth much more than answers and hopefully the interviews and the musings can live up to that principle.

Callie North: What happens to you after 72 days alone in nature?

Brady Ryan
Today we are joined by herbalist, adventurer and teacher Callie North. Born and raised on Lopez Island, Washington, Callie spent her youth engrossed in the nature of the Pacific Northwest. Her love of the outdoors and relationship with sacred plant medicine led her to open Northsea Apothecary in the spring of 2016. Shortly after, Callie got to spend 72 days living alone in the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Patagonia, Argentina as a contestant on Season 3 of the History Channel show Alone. She fished, foraged, and built shelter using what she could find around her.
