An Interview With Melissa Llarena

Corey Hester is an off-grid adventurer. Today, you'll hear how Corey has been able to reimagine the mastering of his photography skills even given today's pandemic constraints. His experiences help us to think about the skills we can continue to master in a new way from the comfort of our home. There is possibility even in a situation where you are limited. We also explore the idea of widening perspectives when it comes to career options and trajectory in the face of the unknown; what ways can you apply your existing knowledge and expertise to fill in the gaps? Finally, Corey reminds us of what life can be like if we use our imagination to explore new sights, sounds, and experiences that surround us.  You can see some of Corey’s off-grid moments on Instagram. Just visit @ofalaska and you’ll see his enthusiasm for wild animals and sky light shows. Beyond his love of photography, Corey was once the Executive Director of the Alaska Airmen’s Association which is Alaska's largest aviation non-profit organization.
