Off The Cuff by HindLight Media
In our first original podcast, we explore the diversity of the human experience through unscripted and natural conversations. We’re not limited to any specific topic or theme, so every episode is a unique and exciting journey. Join us as we take our conversations outside the studio to new and exciting locations, from the tranquility of a forest clearing to the hustle and bustle of a vibrant coffee shop. Our guests come from all walks of life, with a wide range of passions, interests, and experiences to share. From artists to entrepreneurs, athletes to scientists, and everything in between, we’re here to shine a light on the amazing diversity of human beings and the richness of their lives. We believe that everyone has a story to tell, and we’re excited to hear them all. So grab your favorite beverage, pull up a seat, and join us for Off The Cuff. Who knows where the conversation will take us, but one thing’s for sure—it’s going to be an adventure!

In this episode, I'm joined by Nathan Patterson—a dear friend I met a few years back while filming a marriage proposal—coincidentally at his daughter's ballet recital. His background is in technology and telecommunications; but in recent years, he has started his own company that produces high-end, multi-camera, live-stream video content. Needless to say, he and I connect on many levels—hence why I've been so stoked to have him on the show!

In the Moment Series #004
Tuesday Sep 03, 2024
Tuesday Sep 03, 2024
As promised, here is the follow-up episode from Sonya's garden three months later!
The In The Moment series allows us to stray from our traditional format to bring you an intimate conversation that captures the essence of spontaneity. Sometimes, the most incredible discussions occur in brief moments that don't quite fill the duration of a full episode. But why should that stop us from sharing these captivating moments?
This is a collection of episodes where we embrace the beauty of unfiltered conversation. Much like our main show, the conversations in this series are completely off the cuff but offer a much more raw take on events happening almost in real-time.
