This week on the pod we sit down with Kitalé Wilson; filmmaker, writer, polar explorer and adventurer.

Kitalé spent his early years living on a sailboat in Indonesia, travelling through Africa and Southeast Asia, and growing up on a family farm in rural Australia. Now at 25, recently nominated for Young Australian Filmmaker of the Year and screening at Banff Film Festival, he's channelling a lifetime of adventure into storytelling through film, photography, and writing.

In this conversation we talk about what it means to grow up with a polar explorer for a father and a therapist for a mother. How those two forces shaped his approach to adventure, creativity, and life. We hear about near misses - hurricane force winds on a 40-foot sailboat in the Southern Ocean, a torn tent in a -30°C snowstorm on an Icelandic glacier - and what those experiences teach you about ego, vulnerability, and mortality.

We also get into why slowing down could be considered a social rebellion these days, the balance between pushing hard and being present, vulnerable masculinity, and why the most dangerous thing you can bring on an expedition is your ego.
