Overland Journal Podcast host Scott Brady records from Bend, Oregon before an EarthCruiser trip to the Alvord Desert and Steens Mountains and welcomes longtime friend Chris Van Dyke, former VP of product development and marketing at Patagonia, nearly two-decade Nike veteran, Now clothing cofounder, and former district attorney. Chris recounts extensive sailing—three years on his own boat to Alaska and Mexico, passages from Tahiti to Hawaii, Peru to Ushuaia, and a five-week Ushuaia-to-Antarctica voyage with severe storms and abundant wildlife—then explains how sailing’s contingency planning and gear security translate to overland travel. The conversation covers protecting company culture at Nike and Patagonia, lessons from Expedition 65 motorcycle travel from Colombia to Ushuaia (training, risk management, avoiding night riding, sand technique), Chris’s Sprinter build philosophy, favorite books, and advice to seek growth by traveling beyond one’s comfort zone.
