Finneran’s Wake – where the ART OF CONVERSATION lives. Here, no topic is untouchable, no idea inadmissible, and no one too heretical to be heard. As the great French essayist Montaigne once said, “To my taste, the most fruitful and natural exercise of our minds is CONVERSATION. I find the practice of it the most delightful activity in our lives”. It certainly is the most delightful activity in my life. I want it to be so in yours as well. To that end, I humbly welcome you to my channel. Here, we'll exercise our minds together. Here, we'll practice this delightful activity as friends. We'll engage, now and forever, in the art--the highest and most human art--of conversation! With affection, Daniel

Rockets, Race Cars, Cameras, and Extreme Weather | Scott Schilke

Scott Schilke is a photographer who specializes in capturing breathtaking images of rocket ships, race cars, and extreme weather events.

At the youthful age of sixty-two, after having worked in property management for four decades, Scott spurned retirement and embarked upon a new career. When all his buddies were slipping into the long-deferred idleness of their “golden years”, Scott became a professional photographer. Now, he spends his days (and most of his nights!) photographing rocket launches, NASCAR races, and high-voltage lightning storms.

The fearlessness with which he set out upon this new journey, and the assiduity with which he’s continued to pursue it, are totally inspiring. I listen to Scott, and am convinced that there’s nothing I can’t do.

In this episode, Scott and I discuss…

The influence of his father, who was an officer in the Air Force; His passion for rocket ships; SpaceX, Tesla, and Elon Musk; NASA; NASCAR; Photography; Climate change; Electric Vehicles; Extreme weather; Hurricanes in Florida; Super Cells; Tornados; Having dreams and aspirations; Starting a new career; How to develop a passion project; Learning new skills throughout one’s life; How to chase your goals; and MUCH more!
