Jackie sits down with James Edward Mills, fellow Osprey ambassador, freelance journalist, National Geographic Explorer, and creator of the Joy Trip Project, for a wide-ranging conversation about building an adventurous life on purpose.
James shares how a childhood in Los Angeles, a job at REI, an unexpected career with The North Face, and a life-changing pivot after 9/11 led him into journalism and storytelling rooted in equal outdoor access, conservation, and community. Together, Jackie and James explore the power of following curiosity, choosing lifestyle over convention, uncovering hidden histories in the outdoors, and creating opportunities for more people to see themselves in wild places.
This conversation is full of wisdom for anyone ready to rewrite their story, follow the next beacon, and build a life that feels deeply and authentically their own.
