Anyone who isn't afraid to live life on their own terms. We've all got something we're naturally drawn to; having the courage to go all-in on that specific endeavour to make it a "job" is a commendable feat. If you're reading this and have been contemplating such a decision? Do it! There's nothing worse than regret; do what future you would be proud of 🥂

Big fan of Norm MacDonald, always stayed true to himself, especially when it came to comedy and his interpretation of it. Super smart but in a very calm & subtle way 🥀

I just returned from visiting two dear friends in Eugene, OR and my face still hurts from all the laughter. It was a short trip but we made the best of the time we had. They are the kind of friends who I may go years without seeing and we are still able to pick up as if there was never a break. They live a life full of outrageous comedy, exciting art, toe-tapping music, irresistible food, and community. They took me to their local hangs and we ran into friends who lit up with excitement upon seeing them and embraced them in big bear hugs. They always have some project going on and live to experience life. It inspires me to break out of humdrum routines and to take charge of what I want to see in the world. They inspire me to create. They inspire me to find humor. They inspire me to get interested. Most importantly, they inspire me to be comfortable with myself.

Not a direct friend, but a friend of a friend: works in anti-poaching and nature conservation in around Southern Africa. His life is filled with adventure and adrenaline, there isn't much money in it but he does what he loves!

Would love to see a Palm Report about animals and wilderness, not enough attention is given to wildlife and nature preservation!

Craig Mod and Chris Arnade. I love reading these two and all of their adventures walking around the world.

It’s inspiring in a couple facets: writing, photography, the physical act of long walks, and socializing to learn more about different cultures.
