A conversation with Kade!

Kade is the founding editor of Ori Magazine, a print only travel publication that is rethinking how stories about place, people, and culture are told. What began as a life centered around skiing and storytelling has grown into something much broader, rooted in curiosity, connection, and a desire to shift the way we experience the world.

In this episode, we talk about Kade’s path from college soccer to ski journalism, and how years of travel and reporting led to the creation of Ori. We get into what it means to tell stories with people rather than about them, why print still matters in a digital world, and how slowing down can deepen the way we engage with both media and travel.

We also explore the creative ecosystem around Ori, from working with local journalists across the globe to building initiatives like the Ori Creative Grant, which supports storytellers in a tangible way. Along the way, Kade shares thoughts on identity beyond sport, the balance between passion and burnout, and how to stay grounded while building something meaningful.
