Divya Gordon is an Adventure Filmmaker who has created films such as Steady, Maven & Seven7Seven. In this episode, Divya shares the incredible journey from the corporate world of Business and Marketing to adventure filmmaking. With no formal training, Divya carved a path in the industry by embracing risk, creativity, and hands-on learning — eventually working with brands like Nikon and Arc'teryx to bring incredible stories to life.
Building a tiny home in the Australian Snowy Mountains is one of Divya's many incredible achievements along with documenting a variety of extreme outdoor sports. We explore the challenges of breaking into filmmaking, the balance between passion projects and financial sustainability, and the power of visual storytelling. Divya also gives a behind-the-scenes look at recent projects, including Steady, featuring a world-record highline unicyclist, and Maven, the first Australian backcountry snow film centered on women.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
