Get To Know
Your Hosts
Zach and Dean first crossed paths as opponents on the high-school basketball court. Years later, Zach’s sister Jessie, who is a friend of Dean’s, kept insisting that Zach and Dean needed to get together as they would “totally hit it off”. Well Jessie was right, eventually, their paths crossed in a meaningful way and a great friendship was born. Both Zach and Dean have pretty large appetites for adventure, inspiring conversations, good books, bike rides, runs, ocean swims, and vegan food! In many ways “A little more good” is an extension of, and bi-product of their passion for life, and their great friendship.
Zach Berman
Zach grew up in Steveston, a seaside village in British Columbia, Canada. After studying Painting and Photography at Emily Carr University, Zach spent a year backpacking through Nepal, India and Sri Lanka. Inspired by the Juice Stands of India, Zach and best friend Ryan Slater returned to Canada to launch The Juice Truck, Canada’s first Cold Pressed Juice Bar in 2011. Juicing aside, Zach is a father of 2 boys, a runner, a cyclist, an author and a lifelong learner. Selfishly there is no better way to learn than to host really interesting people on a regularly occurring podcast.

Dean Morris
Dean Morris is a theological provocateur, which means he talks, writes, thinks, and teaches about God, faith, doubt, mystery and the wonder of life. Dean started and leads a Church called Reunion, but he is not your typical Pastor - He’s a storyteller, he’s vegan, he’s an ambassador for lululemon, he leads a local urban run crew, and he loves thinking outside of the box. Having not grown up in Church, Dean brings a unique style, and energy to his role. When Dean isn't teaching high school, leading REUNION, or podcasting, he is usually out on a run, or playing with his kids, or has his head buried in one of the many books he has on the go. Dean is tremendously curious and is a lifelong learner, which makes sitting down for podcast conversations a pure delight.
