I’d been curious for years. If I invested in laser resurfacing for my sundamaged, rosaceated face, would it be worth it? The HALO and BBL treatments aren’t cheap or from what I’d heard, painless. But some people swear by them.

Like most teenagers, I took absolutely no care of my skin when I should have. Sun damage led to wrinkles, keratoses, and more than several skin cancers beginning in my forties. Fortunately, so far none have been malignant. But I figure that’s a matter of time.

So, when I heard that laser resurfacing beauty treatments to reduce facial wrinkling can also help lessen the likelihood of skin cancer, it seemed prudent to give it a whirl. I went to the source of all Internet info, YouTube and watched a bunch of videos but came away less than persuaded. The videos online didn’t exactly convince me that there would be a change big enough to justify the cost in dollars or discomfort. Here’s what did convince me though. The thought that I could make my own “brutally honest” video so you could see what I learned. Here it is.

Tell me what you think. As for me? Watch and learn.

In Season 1, Teri focuses on extraordinary people who have followed their passions to feed their souls and accomplish things that benefit others.

UPDATE: Bob continues traveling the world and seeing things in his own inimitable way. He’s got a great trip to India coming up in 2026. For more info, go to: Lumaria Workshops.

I’m excited about my recent in depth conversation with renowned travel photographer Robert “Bob” Holmes, exploring his journey from a shy boy to an award-winning photographer. He’s not only uber-talented, but he’s funny and a most enjoyable travel companion (I visited San Francisco with Bob, his business partner Andrea Johnson, and a small group of really fun folks last August).

Bob is one who early on followed his passion for mountain climbing and photography and has few regrets. We discuss the importance of stepping outside one’s comfort zone, the art of photography, and his transition from primarily travel photography to encompass food and wine photography too. Bob shares insights on teaching photography, the current landscape of the industry, and offers valuable advice for aspiring photographers. Bob rocks! And oh, check out his photos in the podcast and on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bobholmesphoto/.

Note: Apologies to the fabulous Bri Sneller for the caption misspelling of her first name (and who is, as Bob delicately pointed out, not cheese), and Bob Gilka, Bob’s guy at National Geographic.

UPDATE: Sadly, shortly before this was broadcast, the incoming Presidential administration cut funding to the USAID program that funded Dan’s work in Africa and other third-world countries. After a few months, Dan figured out how to operate his programs without federal dollars. How long he’ll be able to keep doing that is anyone’s guess, but he’s putting his own resources, in greater measure than before, to his efforts.

In this episode, Dan Lavin says he’s doing exactly what he wants to do: taking his passion for humanitarian work to far-flung continents where he empowers communities and individuals, teaching them financial literacy through experiential learning. Dan works in places without electricity and few of the comforts we take for granted and he couldn’t be happier.

Early on, Dan put a legal education to work by learning how to ask the right questions. It’s a skill he used extensively as an attorney, an accountant, in the Peace Corp, and now, as a globe-hopping facilitator promoting the gospel of financial literacy in third world countries. Join us as he reveals how loneliness propelled him into recognizing and pursuing the value of human connection and the need to live without regrets and with compassion and kindness. As Dan says, “I hit something magical here.”

He wants you to find your own magic too.

UPDATE: Tom continues writing and publishing books well into his 80s. Tyler Austin Harper, a writer in The Atlantic, recently wrote, “Thomas McGuane Is the Last of His Kind: What will we lose when we lose the “literary outdoorsman”? Many of us dread the day we hear that newsflash. I do, especially after our visit last January. He has a gift for making one feel like an old friend.

Jan 2, 2025 Thomas “Tom” McGuane. His name conjures up visions of Jimmy Buffet (his brother in law), “literary lion” Jim Harrison, Tom himself, and hedonistic Key West in the 70s. There’s even a documentary about that time, All That is Sacred. Or you may have heard larger than life Hollywood tales about him and Marlon Brando, Robert Redford, and Jeff Bridges. His finger prints are on 92 in the Shade, Rancho Deluxe, The Missouri Breaks, and others. These days though, in his eighties, he’s a revered Montana writer with whom the New Yorker Magazine has first right of refusal on his fiction, who lives on a big ranch on the banks of the West Boulder River, and who counts his family and friends, fly fishing, preserving the land, and riding into the National Cutting Horse Hall of Fame, among his greatest passions. I am pleased to feature Tom as someone who has followed his passion.

Initially intimidated by his reputation, instead of the stuff of rumor and legends, I found him to be an intellectual Andy Griffith-esque kinda guy. You will too. Ours wasn’t so much of an interview really. Talking with Tom, even over the computer with more than one technical issue, was more like sitting on a front porch with a bourbon and watching the river flow by. Shooting the breeze.

So, hook your boots over the metaphorical porch rail with me. Get to know this truly authentic, kind, and approachable Tom McGuane.

UPDATE: Alenka stays busy doing podcasts about her adventure, skiing, mountain biking, overseeing translations of her book into various languages, with her business Tahoe Teas, and raising funds for the Michael J Fox Foundation to fuel ongoing research and find a cure for Parkinson’s Disease.

Dec. 4, 2024 Can you imagine what you’d do if you had a failed knee surgery, breast cancer, Gardner Syndrome, and your beloved husband was diagnosed with Parkinsons all in the same year? Would you pull the covers over your head or instead, do something hairy and audacious? Something you’ve always wanted to do? Something on your It’s Not Too Late list? My guest, Alenka Vrecek did. And then she wrote a book about it.

She Rides is the story of a woman who struck back at bad news by taking a solo bike ride from Lake Tahoe to Baja California, a quest, if you will. She wanted to test herself and she did, along the way making some valuable discoveries, like happiness lies in appreciating the small moments in life. And she’s got a few things to tell you too. For one, get out of your comfort zone. Do It! And lots more.

UPDATE: Since we aired this episode, Dan’s on Substack writing about his journeys: Dan Wake where he says “A former hitchhiker and vagabond - and a former trial lawyer - who writes about the charm and mystery of traveling before the internet changed how we see the world.” He’s a great writer - you’ll enjoy his site as much as this conversation.

Nov 1, 2024 After years of delaying gratification, Dan Wake, a former lawyer, shares his journey from his childhood with loads of siblings to practicing law to following his passion for travel and writing. Dan, a wonderful storyteller, tells about trips to exotic places, hitchhiking in the US and Europe, and highlights the unexpected encounters and acts of generosity from strangers. He also discusses the balance he attained between being responsible, pursuing his passions, and the importance of finding fulfillment in life. Dan advises us to take the leap and pursue our passions, recognizing that not everyone has the same opportunities but emphasizing the importance of seizing the ones that come your way.

UPDATE: Since we talked with Bonnie, she’s continued traveling. You can hear about some of her more recent travel here on the Gomes Guide: The Gomes Guide on March 25th.

Sept. 1, 2024 Bonnie Hough is a badass. She’s been around the world five times and has visited a country for almost every letter of the alphabet. She’s always liked to travel, but she didn’t start out that way. Losing people close to her who valued following their passions was a catalyst, she says, and now it’s just second nature.

Would you believe she traveled to the Great Barrier Reef from the Bay Area on a 4-day trip? Swims in the San Francisco Bay every morning at 7 am, and recently swam in 5 of the Great Lakes in the US? A retired attorney who worked for the State Bar, she loves to visit other countries’ Supreme Courts and has an affinity for Frank Lloyd Wright houses (as does her partner Richard). And best of all? She’s got some advice for us about Doing It!
