Seasons of Jason
What happens when you quit everything that used to define you? This show explores that transformation: how hiking became meditation, how the trail became a teacher, and how curiosity became the compass for a new life. It's about the unexpected stories that happen along the way, and the things you notice when you finally slow down enough to see them.

4 days. 6200 feet of elevation gain. 36 miles. Zero experience.
This is the story of my first backpacking trip into the Yosemite wilderness.
You've heard the origin stories that traced my path to here. But a single moment in Yosemite truly changed everything. In this episode, I share the surprisingly emotional experience that turned hiking from a casual interest into something much deeper.
First there was an "accidental" hike that woke me up to the possibilities. In today's episode, I talk about the first hike I did on purpose: a dusty, desert romp down Goldstrike Canyon in Nevada. Boulder scrambles, anxiety, a glorious hot spring, and a delightful side of humanity I wasn't used to seeing.
[The nature soundscape for this episode was recorded on a recent hike along Lewis Creek in the Sierra National Forest.]
One day in 2016, a random dog walk through the dusty hills of Boulder City, Nevada turned into one of the most transformative flashpoints of my entire journey. It also forced a reckoning with the tech-obsessed, sedentary person I had become...
(The ambient nature sound for this episode is the Adriatic Sea, gently lapping at the volcanic shore near Premantura, Croatia, where I lived for several years.)
Welcome back to the Seasons of Jason podcast! This episode is about what happens when you accept a reality that someone else hands to you. It's about an aimless teenager looking for purpose and stability. It's about a knee injury and a messy discharge from the US military. And it's about how depression paralyzes you.
While there isn't any actual hiking or adventuring in this episode, it's an important part of the story, and I hope...
Ten years ago, I was burned out, depressed, and disconnected from what made me truly happy. I was drowning in the toxicity of the tech grind. Then a series of pivotal moments inspired me to walk away from everything that defined me...

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
