Water scarcity is a very real (and growing) problem, and Augustus Doricko started his company, Rainmaker, to address it. Today we discuss the technology of cloud seeding; the history and evolution of that technology; the big questions and concerns about human efforts to modify the weather; and we talk about the potential here, which includes things like literally saving the Great Salt Lake.

It’s official: freeride skiing and snowboarding are becoming Olympic events. So Jonathan talks with Freeride World Tour co-founder & CEO, Nico Hale-Woods, about the process; the opportunities it represents for freeride athletes; and some of the potential risks and challenges. There are certainly a lot of strong opinions about freeride becoming an Olympic event, and today’s conversation will provide you with the backstory and context to inform your own.
