A few weeks ago, my publicist, the amazing Mickey Mickelson, set me up for a podcast called Shooting it Raw, with host, Ran Elfassy. I was a little hesitant. Ran’s based in Hong Kong – quite literally the other side of our planet. The concept intrigued me: no canned questions, no script, I just sent him four pictures. He wouldn’t look at them until we started the interview and we would go from there. It was very, very fun. This weekend, it went live.

Depending on platform, you may not see the pictures I sent, so I’ve included them here.

  1. Falcon
  2. Test Pilot
  3. Moses Lake Mule Deer
  4. Mars, Mariner Valley, NASA Photo

It’s been several years since I’ve been to Hong Kong, but Ran and his photography showed me a different aspect to that beautiful city/state/territory. Someday, I’ll share how I nearly died there.

Here’s his description and multiple links to the podcast on various platforms.

Ep 106 – Pat Daily on Falcons, Test Piloting F-16s, and Living a Strategic Life to Mars and Beyond
How many people have felt the rush of sitting on top of a machine, going more than 1000km/hr into the sky above and among the clouds? Even more amazing still, how many have broken away from our atmosphere to break into the zero gravity of space? As a child, Pat Daily decided he wanted to become an astronaut. Working backward from that goal, he figured out what he had to do and then put that plan into action. Did he reach all his goals? Who can say? Has he lived an amazing life – I’d definitely say so. Join us as Pat takes us on an amazing journey. We will visit Ireland, Houston, Washington state, and stretch out to Mars and beyond. And don’t forget to pick up his book – SPARK! * To view the full episode, click here: https://youtu.be/eTWabsuZ1mU Scroll down to visit Pat’s links, the podcast links, and our sponsors! ++++++

Ran, it was a blast and I hope to get the chance to do it again! Cheers.
