The All-Around Adventure Podcast

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, perhaps one of the most important things for us to consider in order to protect ourselves is to be as healthy as possible. I've sought to do this myself through physical training, mindfulness practice, getting the right amount of sleep, and of course, a proper diet. To address the latter component, I'm joined in this episode by fellow archaeologist, Dr. Bill...

Bruce Lee once said, "The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering." This is a quote that has always struck a chord with me.

In this episode of Wisdom Wednesday, I discuss three strategies in w...

With the current chaos that's been going on in the world, I want to focus on something positive! So for this episode of The Blog Readings, I read a post about things that I'm thankful for.

In this day and age, we can deliberately avoid challenges if we want to. But when we seek comfort, I feel that to a degree we're doing ourselves a disservice. Because we'll be less capable of dealing with the inevitable challenges that life throws at us. Today on the podcast, my guest, Michael Bulloch, talks about the value of getting out of your comfort zone and what you can gain when you seek ou...

Anything and everything that we want to achieve in our lives will come at a cost. The cost may be monetary, or it can be our time or some other compromise. So we must ask ourselves if we're willing to pay the price in order to achieve what we want. In this episode of Wisdom Wednesday, I talk about this and why you should be willing to pay the price for what you want. Thank you for listening! To he...

The topic of this episode of Wisdom Wednesday was a bit of an interesting one for me. I'm introverted by nature, so talking about building strong relationships was something that I didn't think I'd be talking about. However, throughout my journey as a podcaster, I've found tremendous value in connecting with others. And as a result, I've grown significantly as a person. So today I want to talk abo...

Darkness has a way of creeping into our lives, and when it does it's imperative that we maintain a positive mindset in order to find our way out of it. Today on the podcast, my guest Kamelia Britton joins me for the second time to talk about how she sought to do this in her own life. When her travel adventures came to a screeching halt after she was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer. Kam...

Fear is one of the most powerful forces in our lives and it's something that we all experience. Though when we succumb to fear, amazing opportunities can pass us by, which can lead to regret. Personally, I fear regret more than most other fears that I have. In this episode of Wisdom Wednesday, I talk about why we should face our fears in the present so that we don't have to face regret down the li...

Recently, I was telling someone about my time in The Gambia as a Peace Corps Volunteer. A lot happened during my two years of living there, especially challenging situations. These really helped me to gain some perspective. And to become more grateful for the life that I live here in the United States. Having this conversation made me think about a particularly challenging situation that I encount...

There are so many new skills that we can learn and knowledge that we can seek. In this segment of Wisdom Wednesday, I talk about how you can get better at virtually anything! And what I have to say might surprise you! Thank you for...
