In this episode of outside is Magic, I sit down with Sean, a creative working at Rapha, to explore how architecture, design, and sport all intersect through storytelling and process.

We talk about growing up in Switzerland, the value of reflection, and what it means to create work that feels intentional — work that comes from curiosity, not ego. Sean shares lessons from his time in architecture school at Cornell, transitioning into visual communication, and finding his place at the intersection of creativity and the outdoors.

We dive deep into what makes Rapha’s creative culture unique, the balance between craft and freedom, and how running and trail races have become his way of staying connected to the mountains and himself.

🎧 Listen if you’ve ever wondered how to keep growing, stay inspired, and build a creative life that actually feels like you.

In this episode of outside is Magic, I sit down with professional skier, artist, and filmmaker Sage Cattabriga-Alosa for a conversation about creativity, mentorship, and what it means to stay inspired after two decades in the mountains.

We talk about doing hard things, learning to love the process, and finding balance between creating for yourself and creating for the world. Sage shares lessons from a lifetime of big lines, film shoots, and creative pursuits, from early days with Teton Gravity Research to how he now thinks about legacy, mentorship, and raising kids in a digital world.

It’s an honest, grounded talk about timing, presence, and rediscovering joy in the work.

🎧 Listen if you’ve ever needed a reminder to slow down, stay curious, and do it for yourself first.

In this episode of outside is Magic, I sit down with artist, mountain biker, and psychology student Serena Rio for a conversation about fear, creativity, and the art of stepping outside your comfort zone.

We talk about her evolution from graffiti and murals in New York to painting in Los Angeles, her obsession with making friends, and how mountain biking became a mirror for courage and growth. Serena opens up about overcoming fear, finding balance through meditation and movement, and how psychology is shaping her next chapter, helping artists and athletes perform at their best.

It’s an honest talk about change, curiosity, and why comfort is the enemy of growth.

This week there’s no guest, just me. I wanted to take a moment to share where the podcast is at, why I started it, and what I’ve learned 16 episodes in.

I talk about the intention behind outside is Magic, the challenges of scheduling and editing, the process of putting an episode together, and why these conversations have been so meaningful to me. It’s a little peek behind the scenes and a chance to reflect on where this project is going.

I am joined by Bryan, someone I first met in the NYC cycling scene and really got to know on the Oregon Outback, a 364 mile ride across Oregon.

We talk about growing up around skateboarding, finding photography, the move from New York back to California, and what it takes to keep showing up as a creative. It is a simple story about friendship, bikes, and finding your voice behind the lens.

Jeremy Dunn has been shaping cycling culture for years. From co-founding The Athletic to making zines, hosting rides, and creating community through the simple joy of sport, his work has always been about more than products. It is about people.

What I admire most about Jeremy is his openness and his willingness to bring others into his world, to lift them up, and to give them a platform to shine. In this conversation we talk about zines, subcultures, community, and the importance of keeping it fun.

Fear can stop us in our tracks, but Chris Burkard reminded me that sometimes the only way forward is to do it scared.

Chris is one of the most recognized photographers and explorers of our time, but what stands out most is his openness and his willingness to share his process, his lessons, and his story in a way that lifts others up. In this conversation, we talk about fear, risk, slowing down, and what it means to create with purpose.

Life moves fast and summer in the Northwest feels even faster. My conversation with Jenn Levo is about holding onto those fleeting moments, making space for creativity, and finding balance between work, play, and everything in between.

Jenn’s story stretches from Ohio to SCAD, from building bikes at Vanilla and Speedvagen to designing bottles at Hydro Flask. We talk about the lessons learned in sport and design, the pull between structure and freedom, and what it means to live like you are dying.
