It's easier to be epic than it is to be average.



I
want to tell you that it is easier to be world class, it's easier to do big,
challenging, and amazing things than it is to simply be average.



Look
at people like Richard Branson. They jump out of an airplane before breakfast,
and then they make a billion dollars. They make it look fun and easy- that
could be what it would be like for you too!



Because of our school system, we are all trained to simply know how it takes to pass. As a result, you think inside of the box- one that was set by other people for you. Until you start thinking outside the box, you'll never start thinking outside of the box.



When
you start thinking bigger and taking on much bigger challenges, you're going to
get the fire and motivation inside your belly. You are going to get so much
momentum.



You
will start seeing things happening, things that you never would have expected
to happen if you stayed with the normal, average course.



"The universe is conspiring to help you." - Paulo Coelho







Take for example, Oliver White. He is a fishing guy who, all of a sudden, decided that he wanted to explore rivers and fish that have never been caught by fly fishing before. Not only that, he wanted to teach the local people how to create a sustainable lodge and a fishing industry for themselves. Nobody has ever thought of doing that before! But now, he is featured all over media. People are behind his mission, and he created so much momentum.



There
was a time I wanted to raise money for my birthday, so I approached the
organizers of a local mansion party. I told them that I wanted them to host
this party for me and raise money for charity. They said yes, and it was the
biggest party that they had ever thrown, and the most successful for all of us.




As soon as you start thinking unreasonably - outside the box - amazing things start happening for you. While everybody else is competing for the same average slice of pie.



My
friend Chase Boehringer just set the world
record for highest motorcycle. He had more than 75 people and businesses who
sponsored this expedition. He asked them for help, and they were on board. They
were excited to support this big, world record project.



How can you start thinking bigger?



If you have been thinking average your whole life, start with this line of thinking:



* What would I do if I had the support of celebrities, or billionaires, or all my friends? * What would I do if I knew that I couldn't fail? * What would I do if somebody gave me a hundred million dollars to make this thing a reality? * What would I do if I stopped being reasonable?



It takes some time to change your thinking. It takes time asking the right questions to open your thinking. It's a creative process. Even then when you come up with a big, exciting, scary, audacious idea, your ego is going to tell you not to do it to try to keep you safe.



The Australians have this thing called "tall poppy syndrome". It's going to tell you not to grow above the crowd or you will get chopped off. Keep your head down, work hard, and stay in your lane.



This is backwards thinking - we all know people who work hard for a long time and have anything to show for it. And this used to be me.

“Really asking yourself 'what do I want?' is super important.” – Darcy Gaechter



Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast
is the athlete, kayaker, author, and businesswoman, Darcy Gaechter. Darcy is
the first woman to kayak the Amazon source to sea. She shares this great
adventure in her book, Amazon
Woman.



In this episode, Darcy shares how she got into
kayaking and where her constant “yes” to whatever she is offered has brought
her. She tells us how she started- from her business, getting fired from it,
and eventually getting back, to her taking the alternative path and finding true
happiness in kayaking at the same time breaking free from the pressure of conformity.



Darcy
gets to share with us her the struggles and preparation leading to their
148-day epic adventure kayaking through Amazon with her boyfriend Don and their
client, Midge, who himself has an interesting background. Darcy also tells us
how writing the book was the hard part, and she gives us insights as to why this
was so.



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* What
is it that allowed Darcy to keep choosing what she wants to do versus what
other people are expecting.* Where
Darcy gets her drive from.* What
it was like for Darcy growing up.* Whether
Darcy’s identity changed the way she sees herself.* What
led Darcy to stick to kayaking and her relationship with this potentially lethal
sport.* What
it was like writing her book* How
Darcy’s trip to the Amazon changed her life.



Quotes:



* “Part
of this whole process for me was trying to force myself to be comfortable with
my life because I am happy about it and my only unhappiness from my life
choices stems from what I perceive to be other people's judgments of it and so
I have been making a real effort not to worry about them.” – Darcy Gaechter* “I
prioritize my own happiness.” – Darcy Gaechter* “If
you know what you want, you should consider yourself lucky.” – Darcy Gaechter* “Really
asking yourself what do I want is super important.” – Darcy Gaechter* “Just
really working hard on finding peace with what you want to do and chasing after
it, is going to be the most fulfilling way to go through life because if you do
everything you are supposed to do and at the end of the day realize that you
didn't do one thing that you wanted, it's not going to make for a happier
fulfilling life.” – Darcy Gaechter* “At
the end of the line, if I can say like I follow my true path even though I let
others down because I didn't do what they expected I would do, I think I would
be happier for it.” – Darcy Gaechter * “I
encourage you to figure out what it is that you want and chase after it at all
costs” – Darcy Gaechter

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is the channel and medium, Jackie Van Campen. As a medium, Jackie can talk with those who have transitioned over, or who have passed on. As a channel, she gets information from beings from higher dimensions.



Jackie also happens to be my cousin-in-law. We were sitting next to each other at a family reunion recently and I got really excited about her work as a channel and wanted to bring that experience to you!



In this episode, we dig into the world of channeling. To those who are unfamiliar, the practice of channeling is when a person’s voice/mind/body is allowed to be a vehicle for another conscious being - in Jackie’s case, Beings of Light, for the purpose of communication.



Here, Jackie takes us through an actual channeling and you to experience it with her. We get to listen to the message about stepping up, finding our purpose and doing our part, and the value of empathy towards others.



If
you haven’t experienced channeling, then this is going to open your eyes to a
new world of possibility.



This
is a very fascinating episode. In the first half, Jackie will walk us through
what it was like for her to start experiencing channeling and how she accepted
that these other beings are able to interact with and speak through her. In the
second half, we are going to hear Jackie go into her channeling state.



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* How
Jackie describes channeling.* How
Jackie began channeling and what her influences were that led to her channeling.* The
ways to learn channeling and how many people out there are also channeling.* What
happens when Jackie channels.* What
it is like to be the person who is channeling.* A
message and conversation with the Beings of Light that Jackie channels.



Quotes:



* “I
think we all have this ability, it’s just a matter of, are we open to allow our
self to channel.” – Jackie Van Campen



* “Become curious about your role. What are you being asked to do at this time? Sit with this question every day.” - The Beings of Light* “This is an opportune time to step up and to stand in your power.” - The Beings of Light* “Let go of your small thinking. Let go of the fear that you are not enough to make a difference.” - The Beings of Light* “The ultimate truth is that human beings are being called to dispel the cloak they’ve been wearing, the cloak that keeps them hidden from their own potentiality.” - The Beings of Light* “It is important to be aware of what is to come so that you can position yourself in ways to help your fellow human beings.” - The Beings of Light

The Offbeat Life

Sometime I can't believe Billionaires will go on a podcast with a shirtless guy on the cover...



We
are celebrating Episode 300!



When I first started this podcast, I said I was going to make 300 episodes. Now, it has been about six years, and I can hardly believe that it's finally here!



What I have Learned From 300 Episodes



My
identity and the identity of this podcast have been intertwined when I first
came up with the name, The Art of Adventure. It started with the blog. I
talked about it with people and they started associating me as "Mr.
Adventure". That forced me to become more adventurous.



This
show has evolved and progressed. Back when I started, I was trying to learn how
to travel the world, live abroad, and earn a living- basically live a life
of adventure. The podcast started with me, interviewing my friends, and
eventually developed a cohesive model and created a well-defined show with
guests who talk about adventure, metaphysics, peak performance, and business.



In
the beginning, I did not really know how to interview, how to produce a
podcast, and how to find the right guest. I had to learn as I went. If
you track the changes in the world and the changes in my life, and you overlay
that on the podcast, there are all these different phases of life that I
experienced while we had this continuity of a podcast through 300 episodes. You
might be able to see where I'm coming from as the host, in what questions I ask,
and the kind of guests I'm bringing on the show.



What
is cool is that I don't really know what I'd get from these podcasts. I have
taken so many ideas from guests. I am now a business coach, because of the
influence I had from a guest. From a cycling coach, to a podcast coach, I
finally decided on expanding to be a business coach. A guest also suggested
that I turn the ideas I get from the podcast and turn them into a book, which,
eventually became the Superconductors. Right now, I am working on a book with
adventure stories, taking some of the greatest and wildest adventure stories
from the podcast. I have grown my Instagram account from ideas I got from
guests, too. I also learned to ask more and more audacious things and make
"unreasonable requests" in asking for big things.



These
guests have brought so many ideas that I have incorporated in my life, travels,
business, family, and relationships. It has been such an amazing access point,
as the host. I hope it has been as well, for you, because when you apply these
ideas, such big and dramatic things happen for you and your life. The really
important part is that you don't have to get it perfect, but you do need
to go and try it. You can learn these concepts, but until you go and
try using them, you don't really know the knowledge, or understand how
everything works.



Right
until you go through the experience, you can't ever know what it's like until
you do it.



Now
I can say, I'm a podcaster and I’m not planning on stopping. This is one of the
best parts of my business and of my life. I am motivated to continue improving
the show and getting these guests on. I want to take this a step further and
look at what kind of collaborations and win-win scenarios I can create with my
guests. Most of my guests have some mission trying to make the world a better
place in their own unique way. If we approach with the idea of how can we
co-create together and look at creating win-win scenarios, then I think that is

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is a spiritual business coach, and my good friend, Beth Weinstein. Beth is of the leaders in the world of plant medicine and psychedelics - and how we can use these to anhance our lives and business. She is the founder of the groundbreaking conference, “Psychedelics, Sacred Medicines, and Purpose”, along with the world experts on the field.



In
this episode, Beth talks about the huge exploding potential and rebirth of
psychedelics. She shares how she was able to start talking more publicly about
her trips and experiences and get to freely share about the medicine path. She
also dives into how she helps people utilize her spiritual knowledge and
experiences for their business growth.



Beth
will also take us through her personal journey – how she first became an
entrepreneur. She was in the design world, and her first business had nothing
to do with coaching at all! Beth is a great storyteller and you are going to
love her perspective on how her life and career progressed and evolved as she
opened up and followed her spiritual path.



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* How Beth started as an entrepreneur.* How Beth knew that it was time to publicly speak about psychedelics and plant-based medicine in her business.* How Beth helped other find their true purpose and thrive in their business.* Beth’s experiences before she accidentally fell into coaching.* Beth’s memorable travel experience on dieta in the jungles of South America



Quotes:



* "If you don't change, the universe will do it for you"* "The way it works is that the medicine gives you what you need"* "There is no more reason to hide behind a mask"

Today’s
guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is the astrologer, teacher, and
sojourner, Dara Dubinet. Here, Dara talks about astrogeography or
astrocartography – the astrology of a place on the planet. Dara also shares
about the north node and how you can find your purpose in life by learning
about it.



Dara
explains that each person has their own astrology. Wherever the planets are,
they affect us at the moment of our birth. These astrological bodies also
affect us wherever we are. Intuitively, there are times that you don’t want to
go to a certain place. With the study of your own astrogeography, you will
understand why you have that feeling. Conversely, you will also understand why
you always dream of going somewhere. Now you know that a certain place holds a specific
energy for you.



In
this episode, Dara reads my astrogeography. Through this, she will enlighten us
that each person has his or her own astrology and when combined with your exact
location on the planet, you are going to experience a different set of
vibrations. It is actually a map or record of what you would be experiencing as
you pass through different fields on the planet.



What
you’ll learn in this episode:



* How
astrology works and the science of astrology* An
introduction on astrogeography and how it works* How
we are affected by astrology and our specific location* What
the north node is* The
application of astrogeography on the things that you want to achieve

Today’s Interview on the Art of Adventure podcast is part of our series on cutting edge modalities, health metaphysics, and peak performance. Our guest is the founder of the Neurotherapy Center of St. Louis, Dr. Ashley Wiegand. According to Dr. Wiegand, her brain-based approach on counselling addresses the underlying biological patterns related to the individual’s concerns, while also looking at habits, perception, and interpersonal environment.



Dr.
Wiegand uses the specialized treatments of biofeedback and neurofeedback to
help shift away from stuck patterns towards better functioning, growth, and
change. Neurofeedback can be used for performance enhancement in healthy individuals,
but it can also be used for dealing with dysfunctions like PTSD, anxiety, and EDD.
It basically helps your brain spend more time in a desired state.



In
this episode, you’ll hear about my experience with Dr. Wiegand because I
recently went to have a visit with her. We picked a protocol that I could use
to enhance my performance. Right now, we are in a point where we are starting
to understand the brain more and we are developing this technology in
monitoring the brainwave activity and being able to pinpoint what’s going on in
there.



What
you’ll learn in this episode:



* What neurofeedback and biofeedback are* The exact protocol we used when I was in Doctor Wiegand’s laboratory.* What my experience was with neurofeedback and the results* How you can apply and take advantage of neurofeedback and biofeedback * How to achieve peak potential, push your limits, and optimize your brain, applying this modality



Quotes:



*  "Neurofeedback will help you shift into a state as desired" - Dr. Ashley Wiegand* "Fire flickers in a delta frequency - that is why it is so calming" - Dr. Ashley Wiegand

The Morning After The Snowstorm



This is the story of what I learned from
getting caught in a snowstorm when things could have gone seriously wrong.



The sun has just set, it’s a snowstorm. We’re
at 10,000 feet, it’s getting dark, the snow is sticking to our skis. We don’t
have a map and we were still several miles from the fire tower that we are supposed
to be staying for the night. We are in the middle of the Montana wilderness and
we have just dug ourselves out of another hole because we have fallen off the
trail into neck-deep snow.



This was about ten years ago in Montana and
the reason we were caught in this situation in the first place was because of a
comedy of errors. They say accidents don’t happen because of one mistake, but
it is usually a series of little mistakes that lead to a big catastrophe. We
were very close to a big catastrophe!



We had to drive a couple of hours into the
mountains. We rented skis and found that they had given us two right boots. It
was far too late to head back to town to return the boots and come back to the
trail head and head to the fire tower.



We were committed to making it to the fire
tower so we decided to go ahead with the mismatched boots. We took the 15-mile
route to the mountains. Everything started off great.



When you are in shape and a seasoned outdoor
person, sometimes you overestimate your abilities and you don’t come prepared.
I was not prepared! We didn’t have a map and we had the wrong equipment. I far
overestimated our ability to get to the top. I estimated, three to four hours,
with breaks, to get up there. But, after six hours, we were still halfway! We
also knew that the fire road was going to end and we were going to have to do
the last three miles across open terrain to get to this fire tower.



This perfect storm of bad things started
happening. One, the snow was coming down. It was causing our skis to become
sticky with snow. All of a sudden, the skis became heavy. So, we had to take them
off and walked on the snow but it was not a good solution. We slowed down to
one mile an hour. The sun was setting and we couldn’t see the trail anymore. Luckily,
snowmobilers had gone and packed down the surface of the snow a week or a day
prior. So if we stayed within this narrow three-foot wide path, we wouldn’t
collapse down into the snow. And if we took one step off, we’d fall down into
this deep powder, which was exhausting. It was very treacherous. It was very dark,
and things were getting really dicey.



Here’s what was going through my head that
time: whenever I would think about getting stuck out there, we could build a
snow cave or we could just wait it out until morning. Or what happens if one of
us gets injured, or if we would run out of food and water? I was starting to
get worried. So, I forced myself to not worry. It helped showcase my thought
pattern in a really treacherous situation.



I often refer back to this thought patterns when
I am testing myself and taking risks, whether in business, or socially. I’m
thinking back on that really tough physical challenging situation. I knew that
I was fit and well-trained as an athlete, so I was confident that my body could
keep going if only I could manage my energy well and I kept a positive
attitude. So I was consciously directing my thoughts to keep myself in the
present moment and that really was just keeping one foot after the other trying
to stay on this little trail.

He initially thought it was going to be easy, but after getting the permit and
gear, 30 days before the trip, he still had nothing he really needed! It was
not looking good. Still, he had a deep knowing that it would really work out. He
asked for help from friends and their connections, and in the next two weeks, he
was set!



Today,
we celebrate with Chase as just days ago, Guinness confirmed that he now holds
the world record for highest altitude by stock motorcycle at 19,324 feet on the
world’s highest volcano.

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is an avid journaller, comedian, writer, and mountaineer, David Mauro. During his adventures climbing the seven summits, David kept daily journals. A compilation of his journals eventually led to his fun and quirky book, The Altitude Journals. The way he puts it, it is a seven-year journey from the lowest point in his life to the highest point on earth.



David has summited all the Seven Summits but
does not really consider himself a climber. He was not born a mountaineer. Interestingly,
David is a financial planner and he used to be part of a comedy improv where he
has worked with some of the best in the business. David also shares about how a
recurring dream had led him to a great decision in his life.



In this episode, and in his book too, David’s storytelling
is well woven, and you will get to see the quirky comedy writer that he is. You
will also get to learn deep life lessons from a mountaineer who has climbed all
the tallest mountains and how David sends a message that we should all find joy
in the little things.



What you’ll learn in this episode:



* David talks about relationships with yourself
and with others* David’s view on love and nature* How setting goals and thinking about these and
being in the moment can affect you* How to deal with risk and pain* How David started his climbing adventures and eventually
writing his book



Quotes:



“Fear of failure holds us back in a lot of
things, big or small, all throughout your life.” – David Mauro



“When you literally feel that you have nothing
left to lose, you are bulletproof!” – David Mauro



“You have to go into the experience with an
open mind and heart and jus trust that it will make sense at some point.” –
David Mauro



“Love is not a creation of the man-made world;
it is a creation of nature and you’ve got to play by nature’s rules. Which
means, if you are going to experience the fullness of beauty or love, you’re
going to have to accept personal risks.” – David Mauro



“Nature says that the return is commensurate
with the risk. And if you risk yourself completely, the reward will be on a
scale that is unimaginable.” – David Mauro



“Sometimes it takes someone outside the
problem to understand it.” – David Mauro



“Shared experiences are the most valuable.” –
David Mauro

In
this Friday’s episode, we are going to talk about Steve Jobs' reality distortion
field and how you can have one too.







I just finished reading Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs and there is a lot in there about the latter’s reality distortion field. Jobs used this to credit for his whole career. People would try to fight against it but will ultimately succumb to this. Basically, he would convince people through whatever means – his charisma, force of will, strong emotion, conviction – that whatever it was that they thought was impossible was actually possible. As one of the first Apple employees said, in Steve's presence, reality is malleable.



Let's
look at this this way: you are in your own reality distortion field right
now. We all are a product our beliefs about reality. For example, if you
think you are no good in social situations, then that is likely the reality you
are going to experience. On the other hand, if you see yourself as a leader,
then you're probably going to be a leader. That will confirm that reality or
beliefs create self-fulfilling prophecies in reality distortion field.



Now let us think on a bigger level – things that were previously impossible are now possible, like me, breaking the two-hour marathon, or free-soloing at El Capitan. Both these physical feats happened in the last couple of years. Amazing, right? They were never possible before but they are now.



When Steve Jobs was  creating the iPhone, and he was talking to Corning, the makers of the Gorilla Glass, that is the screen for the iPhone. They said, there is no way that they will be able to reconfigure their factories in order to make the screens in time for him. Also, the early Apple employees said that there was no way they could create the Macintosh software in two months. However, Jobs held such strong reality for them, that those things were possible. He was sometimes compassionate about it, saying that it was okay, that he knows that they are afraid, but they can do it. And then guess what? They go and actually do it!



A
lot of times, I think people say something is impossible because they don't
know or have never done it. That is not necessarily proof that something is
impossible. Partly, Jobs was pushing people to be their best.



So,
the takeaway from today, aside from the interesting facts you’ll get to hear about
quantum physics, is that reality is based in your beliefs. You
can create your own reality distortion field about what is possible, and, over
time, you can grow and gain the skills you need. You can make reality happen
even if it has never happened before. You can distort your own reality based on
your beliefs so that you can become the type of person who can do something
that you previously thought was impossible.

Today’s
episode of the Five-Minute Friday is for those who are trying to do something
big and exciting in the world.







Often, I encounter people who are running in to fear when they are deciding to do something big. When they commit to do a project, fear sets in. It could either be the fear of success or the fear of failure.



People
try to get past that fear, but they end up staying in a stagnant place. They
keep thinking as to how things would go wrong or how they are not up to the
task. They get into a thought loop which creates an emotion that tells them,
they are not good enough. As a result, they are focusing their brain to wire in
to worry, anxiety, and fear. Along with it comes negative emotions. These emotions
are not meant to be carried and dwelled on, they are only meant to be
experienced and felt.



If
you are focusing on the fear, on what is not going to work, then you are not
focusing on finding solutions. You are not making the things that you want to
happen, happen.



This
is no different for me. I get in to fear and sometimes, I have to really trust
in my own ability to make something happen. That is hard. That takes bravery
and courage. Courage doesn't happen when you know all the answers, or when you
are completely capable. The practice of courage and the practice of bravery
happens when you are scared, when you are not convinced of your abilities yet.



But
most of us are operating from a place where we look back in our past. Because
we have never done something like that in the past, we think that we are not
the type of person who could do it. But, as soon as you do it, you are the
type of person to do that! So, you must work ahead, you have to work
from a place of the person who has already done that!



Let
us take running the marathon, for example.



If
you have never ran a marathon, you have no idea what it is like. But if you do
it, you do it! You become the type of person who could do it. It is this
continuous practice of growing into the person that you are going to be. If
from the start, you operate from what you were able to do from the past, that
past will hold you back. Operate from who you are going to be in the future.
Think back to where you were ten years ago and the things that you learned, the
skills, the ways you have improved, your ways of thinking, and just how many
more abilities and things can you do in life now, comparing to ten years ago.



Imagine
your future self and all the amazing things that you'll be able to do! Work
from that place of your future self.



So,
if it is fear of success, it serves a purpose. Your fear serves its purpose.
It keeps us safe. Your brain is wired to keep us safe.



First,
you can just thank your brain for trying to keep you safe and then turn your
attention elsewhere, so you don't have to be focusing on the fear itself. A lot
of us get in to fear because we have not fully assessed whether the risk is
worth it and that is something that you can just do. Write it down, list the
possible outcomes, and ask yourself if that is what you really want to do, is
it what you want to create in this world, is it in alignment with your values,
and is it in alignment with what you want your life to look like. Determine
that fullest realization and goodness of the possibility or the worst that
could happen. Is the risk worth the gain?



Stop
thinking, stop worrying, trust yourself,

It doesn’t matter what advice you get about how to change if you’re not even clear on what you want! It’s time to figure it out so you can make your life about creating your heart’s desires. No more default! We will learn a quick way to get our brains focusing on what we want rather than what we don’t want.
In this episode we will learn:~Why we’re more focused on what we don’t want than we want and how to turn it around.~A simple exercise to get your brain more focused on desires than despair~Third eye meditation

Have you ever been un-motivated?
Today, let us talk about that because this is something that happens to everyone, even myself.
Motivation is not just a problem where you need to work harder or apply more will power. It is full of information - it is telling you something.
Your lack of motivation may be because you are not connected with who you are trying to serve. You are not clear about how you can help your customer. If you do not believe something is going to work for you, you will not be able to follow through, because you have already taken yourself out of the game.
Perhaps, you don’t have a goal yet. In that case, if you don’t have an ambition or a purpose, then you need to figure out that something that you want to do then you will be able to start moving towards it. It may take some reflections, internalizations, talking to people, and learning what you like and don’t like. You can then start taking action by doing these little steps and having that momentum.
It could be that you are not having fun. If what you are doing is boring, then you may need to be a little creative. Think of different ways that you can play around with the things that you are trying to do.  A lot of times, it is super motivating just to learn or try something new. Maybe motivation is coming because you don’t expect it.
Maybe you are not connected with the outcome. You don’t know what it is going to do for you. You don’t know how it is going to make you feel. It is hard to tie hard work and effort, so tap into that feeling which you wish to have once you complete this goal.
Understand that where you place your attention is important. This is about curating your surroundings - your physical surroundings, what you are watching, and even the people around you. So many different inputs can change your thought patterns, your feelings, and your habits. If you are around excited people who want to learn, grow, and achieve things, then that is going to become how you are.
Again, this is all information. Your level of motivation is telling you about yourself.

Today’s Five-Minute Friday episode is about the time when I moved my family - my wife and my two little kids - to Portugal, in the spring of 2019.
We moved to Portugal for three months were we ended up living in a town called Atouguia Da Baleia, near one of the surfing capitals of Portugal - Peniche. It was pretty close to the beach. We were in this tiny village because it happened to have another digital nomad friend. She happened to mention that place before we were going. It was just perfect. She had an AirBnb rental where we stayed at and to add to that, she let us use her car. Everything worked out.
What was it like for our family when we moved there?
From St. Louis, we flew to Lisbon. We then had about an hour drive to this small village of about ten thousand people. We haven't really lived anywhere that small. It was a quiet and chill place, pretty different from living in Lisbon. Lisbon, on the other hand, is a digital nomad and entrepreneurship hotspot. There are a lot of start-ups and friends over there who travel through.
We didn't know what to expect. We did not end up meeting as many friends as we did in other places. So, when people asked us, "How was Portugal?” it is kind of, hard for us to say because every day was really nice. There are beautiful things to do. The place was quiet and calm. The weather was great. The thing that was missing was proximity to a lot of people that we could get to know.
Here are some of the highlights of our stay: 
I went cycling and saw so much scenery. I could see little villages, farm roads, different castles, rivers, and mountains. While I was out riding, I was thinking to myself about the development of the country, Portugal. At one point, they had this massive empire. Essentially, they were the first to have a global empire. They have since declined and the glorious buildings built long ago are now in a state of despair. The country, however, is now coming back, economically speaking. It is starting to revitalize.
I am just imagining this ebb and flow of the culture of Portugal and its people. There is this type of music, the Fado music, which is popular in Portugal. It is like this longing-for-the-days-gone-by, sort of, folk music, and that feeling, pervaded every place I went. It is hard to think of another country where the music is so appropriately described; that you would just like to be there.
I was surprised that it was so windy in Portugal. There were wind turbines, old and modern ones, everywhere. Apparently until recently, Portugal was the leading wind power producer.
We happened to live near this town called Obidos, a medieval old-walled city. There is a castle and old walls in this city, which is super beautiful which have been preserved, frozen in time. It is very touristy now because of its beauty. We would regularly go just to spend the evening, for dinner, or when anyone came to visit us. We would show them this jewel of a city. They say it is the most beautiful city in Portugal.
We also took a road trip to Sevilla, Spain, which I think is even cooler than Lisbon. We would eat dinner super late at night and I could remember walking home at eleven in the evening and buying ice cream with my two-year old. This is very out of the ordinary, but it was super fun. The trip was made interesting by the great architecture of the place. We also went to where all the beaches were.
Another interesting thing we saw on our way over to Spain is this place outside a town called Evora. We visited the Cromeleque dos Almendres which means, stone circles. It was like the Stonehenge, but with almond-shaped stones and older, over 5000 years old. It was just special, way out of the middle of nowhere and the hot part drive of Portugal.
A lot of people in Portugal spoke English, so we were able to get by pretty well. As you might imagine, the food and wine is really good.

Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is one of the best learners in the world, David Wood. David has appeared in our previous episodes and now he’s back with more interesting things to impart.
David shares how he is reinventing his coaching business. As if he is not as interesting as he already is, David had, at one point, the world’s largest life coaching business. He was basically number one when he left it in the nineties, and now, he has gotten his way back and is redefining his coaching practice.
In this episode, we deconstruct how David is as a super learner who is an expert at skill and memory development. As we listen to him, we get to discover how he is really good at learning – and he doesn’t even realize that! David is a master coach and you’ll enjoy learning tons of really good stuff in this episode.
What you’ll learn in this episode:


* How David identifies when people are doing the wrong thing by the tone of their voice or their non-verbal communication
* What happens when one withholds his truth and how to combat that
* The balance of perseverance with cutting your losses
* What to do when you start a project that starts to fizzle out

Ghandi Fasting
In the last five years, I have gone about forty days without food, mostly just consuming water. Some of these fasts are short, just two sleeps - basically a day of fasting - some of them are long, having gone for as long as eight days.
I started experimenting with fasting when I lived in Bali, because a lot of people do juice fasts there. Bali has a big, healthy-eating culture and I wanted to see what fasting was like. How much can you know about yourself if you have never gone without food? I started experimenting with baby steps. I started with one day, and then  worked up from there.
Recently Ive been doing 36 hour fasts every Monday and I noticed some patterns in the experience. I just want to share with you, if you haven't done any fasting, what you might expect, or if you have done fasting, what you may have experienced, whether it be similar of different.
I needed less sleep. If I normally sleep eight hours, but while fasting, I wake up feeling refreshed after six and a half hours. I also feel very light.
I save time and become more productive. In the first couple of days into the fast, my mind is generally working really well. If you couple that with not having to take time to eat and brush your teeth, and just all those things you are saving a couple of hours each day, so you end being very productive in the early parts of the fast.
It can feel very fatiguing. Some people say they maintain high energy levels for an entire fast. I experienced that I was very lethargic after three to five days of fasting. I find it really hard to physically move my body and I just felt weaker and this process of your body wherein it is somewhat starting to eat itself off. Autophagy happens, or when your body gets rid of older cells and cleans it out. You really feel amazing after, but, during that process it is a very tiring feeling, at least, for me.
Food starts to smell really good! My kid was eating a rice cracker and I thought it smells amazing! Of course, that first bite of food after a fast is so much more delicious. Like many things, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
My body temperature goes down. I will be wearing sweatshirt and pants because I get the shivers. I think that is because I eat a pretty high-sugar low-glycemic index diet, I have a lot of fuel and my body temperature runs pretty hot, but then when I am fasting, it gets cold.
Working out becomes hard. I tried to do some work outs, runs, frisbee, and dancing, and it is all just really hard. I would expect that maybe, without the lightness that I feel, that sometimes when I run, I feel really good. However, I feel physically willing myself each footstep to happen or if you somehow forget that you are working out, for  few seconds, you quickly remember because your body is just complains. Fasting should be a time of not pushing yourself because it would be harder to recover.
Change in body odor. One really interesting thing that I noticed is that I smell really bad. It's a totally different smell from my normal body odor and maybe perhaps that is from the autophagy.
It is hard to ramp up eating after fasting. You really have to ease into it and sometimes it takes two full days before you can eat certain complex food. I usually start with a banana or some juice. You can actually feel the food, sitting in there, in your stomach, before your digestive system realizes that there is food.
Losing the anxiety from lack food. Besides doing it for the health benefits, that you can feel good and have clarity and productivity, one of the best things that I have noticed is that just not needing food. I always had a lot of anxiety about not eating. I always had food with me because, what if I get hungry? Now, if I miss a meal, or a day of meal, I know that I am going to be fine. I may be a bit hungry but that is okay because in days that I eat three times a day,

The round things are the virus I discovered
Some of you may know that I used to be a scientist. I was in grad school, studying viruses in the hot springs of the Yellowstone National Park and I discovered a new species of virus.
I recently interviewed my academic mentor and adviser, Mark Young, and he talked about his discoveries. Now, I want to tell you about how it was for me.
I was sitting there in a dark microscope room, looking in the electron microscope and I am looking at this very thin gold-coated surface, looking for geometric patterns - that would be a signal for a virus. All of a sudden, to my field of view, there were polka dots, full of hexagons. I jumped out of my chair! THIS IS IT! I just discovered a virus!
That was a single, exciting moment that was only possible with the year and a half of preparation and was only provable with another year and a half of research to back it up.
So, when you see something, and you see that it is a new discovery, you still have to prove and characterize it. You need to describe and learn more about it.
Discovering it was a big process. We designed an experiment explicitly to discover new species. We went out to over a hundred different hot springs and took samples and spent over a year trying to grow microorganisms. Once I was able to grow them, I had to concentrate with the living material from the vials.
I began to think, I could, maybe, find something new.
I spent time screening through the samples over the microscope and didn't find anything. But because I had seen viruses, I knew what I was looking for. And so, after I saw it, I quickly took photos and there were just lots of virus particles. I took them to my colleagues and advisers, and we all looked at it. Did it look like something already discovered? It looked different enough that we decided to characterize and describe it. One of the most important things is to see what the genome is, because once you understand the DNA or the RNA of the genome, you can compare it to all other known viruses.
So, all this took a really long time. It was emotional roller coaster! When you see the thing right there, there is nothing like that feeling of knowing you are the first person to look at it, and just knowing that you found something new. To the long hours of manipulating things in the lab, trying to take some evidence, learning some technique, and failing it, until you finally get a new piece of evidence – that's  what a lot of people don't see in research. There are months of trying things. Trying to get a little piece of information takes so much work, and that was really hard for me.
I'm really glad that I had the chance to work as an academic scientist because there is such rigor and it's a phase wherein you really need to put in a lot of work. Having that long-term focus really translates to almost anything else. It's very similar to endurance sports – you train for several years and you still won't hit the peak of your ability. A long-term thinking is involved. You build something over the long haul.
The other best part of it all is going out into Yellowstone and setting up an experiment where you have to go on an adventure!
 

It's amazing how much overlap there is between parenting and coaching. Half the time, I am coaching high performers, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders. The other half, I'm dealing with a two-year old. Both of them make me become better at the other. So here are the lessons that I learned from my toddler that you can use for your business.
 

* Feel all of your emotions

When you are trying something really hard, and you just can't get it, or you fail, make sure you feel all of your emotions. Process through that feeling of frustration, anger, or disappointment. My toddler throws a mini tantrum but feels better afterwards. He then comes back and tries again. This is so important. The most successful people are prolific creators. If you are stuck on the sidelines, you are going to be way behind.
 

* Take a breather

I see my toddler give up right when he is about to get the puzzle piece in. Oftentimes, we are  so close to success and we just can't quite see how to get there. All you need is taking a breather and coming at it from a different angle.
 

* Ask for help

For toddlers, it is totally normal to be a beginner. But for us, we do not like to feel like beginners, so it is harder. As a result, it becomes harder to ask for help. One may already have had some success in his adult life but it becomes crucial when you get outside perspective and emotional support. Go back on that thing that is giving you the hard problem and frustration and work on it, this time, with the help of others.
 

* Manage your energy well

You have probably seen some screaming kids in the middle of the afternoon. That's because it is about naptime. When we start getting tired, our physical energy dips and it becomes hard to deal with challenges. If you do not have a full cup, then all of a sudden, your problems are going to be way harder. It is thus super crucial that you manage your internal state.
 

* The power of reciprocity

My toddler started bringing gifts and looking for hugs to try to get attention and I listen just for a moment, which pretty much solves everything. If you can figure out how to continue to be a giver, then people will be programmed to want to help you.
 

Also, don't forget to celebrate!

My guest in this episode is the Virologist, Mark Young. Mark is a fellow in the American Academy of Microbiologists, an awarded distinguished lecturer, and on the board of the society of virology and many universities and organizations.  His work has been cited over 15,000 times.
Mark Young was my academic adviser and mentor when I was a grad student at Montana State University. Together, we designed the experiment that led to my discovery of a new species of virus in the hot springs of Yellowstone.
I chose to work with Mark not just for his academic credentials, but our shared interest in adventure and unconventional thinking. Mark's mentorship ultimately led to the creation of this podcast.
Mark is known in the scientific community for discovering viruses in the hot springs of Yellowstone and for the discovery that you can do chemistry inside a virus particle.
Recently, Mark has become the first person to synthetically create a new virus from scratch. (Don't worry it doesn't infect humans, just E. coli).
Mark is both a highly social, adventurous, and unconventional scientists and a rigorous academic focused on excellence.

Before I coached entrepreneurs, I coached professional athletes and there is a lot of overlap. Here are 10 entrepreneurship lessons that translate from from the world of Pro sports:


*
Manage your energy. Pro athletes know that the most important thing is recovery. In sports, you can't improve unless you give your body time to rest and adapt. Learn to understand your physical body and how it best operates. Understand the aspects that provide you with that fire so that when you need to be on point, you are going to be performing at your highest level.
*
Self experimentation. Study yourself so you know how you perform best. Try different times of day, different foods, technologies, etc.
*
Seek progression. Find the best coaches, design your training around ways to keep getting better. Understand what the next level looks like by looking at the worlds bests. Hiring expert coaches and competitors to highlight the smaller and smaller areas for improvement
*
Make the basics unconscious. Get so good at the basic skills that you don’t have to think about them any more
*
Rehearsal. Pros understand what a perfect practice looks like. If you mentally rehearse the perfect stroke, you are going to improve much faster. They place themselves in a situation before it really happens making then comfortable when the situation does happen.
*
Mental toughness. Pros do workouts that are harder than their competition days so they know they will be able to handle the hardest situation
*
Understand your psychology. Notice when you lose focus, notice your self talk, understand your motivation
*
Optimize for the most important output. Define the rules of the game you are playing in life and how to win. You don’t have to be the best at everything to win - just key skills in your one sport or your one career output - getting too much muscle can make you run up mountains slower for example
*
Optimize your routine. Patterns, rituals, habits can help get you in the zone, and take care of the things you do over and over.
*
Embrace pressure, challenge, get comfortable with the difficulty
*
Keep the joy. Get to the place where you really love what you are doing. Enjoy mastering something, get back in as to why you were trying to enjoy that thing in the first place. If you don't think you can find that joy, then something is out of alignment

Preparing to ski out the next morning
This is the story of the nearly deadly snowstorm
It's dusk and I'm clawing my way out of the snow. I have just fallen off of the trail to neck-deep snow and I am using my ski to make stairs so that I could climb out of this pit of snow back onto this narrow trail and I could hardly see where I'm going because it's winter, and Valentine's Day, to add to that. The sun is setting, and this is the first Valentine's day with my then girlfriend. We were in Montana, and so, as every good survival tale, the story starts with the comedy of small errors.
We had decided to join our friends on a weekend trail to the fire tower. We only had touring skis, so we had to go through the long way, that is, to ski around the mountain. We were going to meet our friends as they would be getting there ahead of us. We drove to the starting point of the trail, and when we got there, we realized that the boots we had rented for my ex were two left boots! We did not turn around at this point as it would cost us a lot of time, so we headed on and continued to the trail.
Just before we had gotten out of cell service, that was when we realized we had no map with us. We quickly downloaded the map on one of the phones with us and it was amazing that we got the app just before we lost cell service. We were, however, limited by the battery life of the phone where we got the map on.
It started as a beautiful sunny day, but pretty soon a snowstorm rolls in. It starts snowing, more like a warm snow which started sticking at the bottom of the ski. Instead of covering five to eight miles an hour, we went to half a mile an hour! We had been at it for six hours, and the sun started to set, and the phone battery started to die, with no spare batteries at hand. We didn't even have head lamps. All these little dumb errors make this sound like a not-so-great adventure at this point.
The amazing thing about the trip was that we weren't fighting. We just kept moving up and figured our way to get there. Finally, we get to see the light of the light tower and saw our friends. It was such a relief when we got there.
Looking back, it is such a ridiculous story, we could have been so much better prepared, yet we survived and made it through! It was a wild and crazy adventure experience.
Let me know if you'd ever had a crazy survival story or what we call "type two fun!"

This is the story of how I came face to face with a mountain lion.
It was sunset and I was running on the trails of the Santa Rosa plateau in California. We were staying there for a couple of months with my wife's family and everyday I would go up to this nature preserve with is this amazing trail, much like an African savanna. It had rocky outcrops and grassland. It was a wonderful place to spend some time running every evening.
I was running with a podcast playing. It said, "you need to be more present", and I realized that I was focusing on the what I was listening to and not the actual running. I then turned the podcast off and put everything away. It was then me running  and the sound of the crunchy gravel of the trails underneath my feet. It was very meditative. I got really deep into the zone, having ran for about an hour and a half.
There was deer running my path, and falcons were nearby. It was sunset and the slight breeze was cooling the day off. It was perfect. Just then, the coyotes started howling, calling back forth. It was eerie. As I was running back towards my car on the final stretch of the trail, I saw an animal ahead of me. I though it was interesting - could be a coyote that walked of the trail. I ran over the hills and got to the spot where the animal had been standing. I looked, and the animal was still there, just a few feet off the trail. The animal was laying  down, crouching at the outcrops. I thought it was interesting that the animal would let me close to it. I have never seen a coyote not run away before. I then realized, it wasn't a coyote after all! I was looking eye to eye with a mountain lion.
Because of the meditative run I had, I did not panic, and felt connected with the mountain lion instead. I just kept eye contact and slowly backed away. When I reached a bend, I immediately took off running and screaming! I ran as fast as I could back to the car.
It was so unreal, so the next day, I went and talked to the ranger who worked at the Santa Rosa Plateau. He then told me an interesting story which explained why the mountain lion had acted that way.
For me, it was a big reminder that even though we have been able to control the natural world, we have also forgotten the real wildness of nature. At times that I feel agitated, I come back to that moment with the mountain lion and remember what it felt like to arrive at that calm place. I use that as a trigger to pull myself back into a state of alignment. I remember that moment when I was at one with nature, which was also when I was at one with myself.

For my 36th birthday last week, I decided to ride the longest ride I had ever done - 200km.  I had ridden long rides before, including races that were more than 170 km, but this would be just me and the open road. We are living in Portugal for a few months, and there are no mountains here, but there are also no flat places. I could expect just as much uphill as in the mountains.

In this episode, I talk about what I was thinking and feeling as I rode more than 9 hours, how i prepared for the process and some of the more philosophical reasons behind doing a big adventure challenge like this

Here are some themes and concepts that I cover in this episode:

* The film that inspired me: "35"
* Last years birthday challenge: 24 hours of adventure in Bali
*
The amount of planning that goes into a big ride
* Why its important to test yourself
*
Feeling the experience - there is no other way to know
*
Comparison of this ride with other hard things and making future things feel easier
*
Physiology change - did I "get in shape" in a single day?
* Managing nutrition during the ride
* Managing mental chatter during the ride
*
The story of the world record setting "3 peaks challenge"
* My previous biggest day of cycling in Spain
* Racing against Lance Armstrong
*
A near death experience being caught in a snow storm
*
Why the ride was never too hard at any moment, but overall extremely challenging
*
The superpower of being ok with discomfort
* Physical vs. Emotional discomfort

This week’s guest describes Reverse Speech as another form of human communication. He states that language is bi-level, forward and reverse. As our brains construct the sounds of speech, it actually forms those sounds in such a way that two messages are delivered at the same time, one forwards, which is the conscious mind speaking, and the other in reverse, which is the unconscious mind speaking.But what are these messages really? Where do they come from, and what, if anything, are these reverse messages trying to tell us?We all know that still small voice within. We hear it ourselves sometimes. And what I'm saying is nothing new. I'm not saying anything we don't already know. We know that voice is there, but what I am saying is that now we can hear it consciously. We can actually tap into that inner spiritual self and wow. Its just incredible. -- David OatesSome topic covered:What is reverse speechAre reverse speech messages really satanic?Are we communicating with each other subconsciouslyHow police are using reverse speech to help solve crimesExamples of times that these messages that have revealed premonitionsMessages have also been discovered in the speech of babies before they can speakAnd the audio samples he plays on the show are worth listening to just on their own! Truly, not one to be missed!About our Guest:David is the fonder of Reverse Speech.com and has been finding backwards messages for over 40 years. He has appeared on numerous Australian and American TV shows including Today Tonight, The Today Show, Larry King Live, The Weekend Australia and The New Idea.Officials in Washington DC expressed interest in his work, but this abruptly ceased when he uncovered a Desert Storm code word embedded backwards into George Bush’s speeches.

From a free Glamping trip in 2018

Want to know how to get free trips and luxury hotel stays for being an influencer?

People get really excited about getting free trips, gear, or luxury hotel stays just by posting on Instagram. And guess what? It's totally possible and probably easier than you think.

The biggest thing is learning how to ask for what you want.

Sometimes hotels and businesses will find you and make you an offer, but most of the time staying in a castle or getting free hot air ballon rides doesn’t just fall into your lap - its up to you to go after the opportunities you want.

The next biggest focus should be to create a win-win situation (make sure both sides get value from a collaboration).

Wondering if your social media is really valuable enough to get free stuff? This is a great opportunity for a hotel to get in front of your audience - what would they pay for traditional advertising on TV or in a magazine?

It will probably easier for companies to say yes after you get to 1000+ Instagram followers or 100+ podcast/YouTube subscribers, but I have heard of people starting to get free stuff with as little as 7 followers.

Let's looks at an example - say you want to stay in a boutique hotel for two free nights in exchange for media exposure on your instagram account.

Here is what I have done that works really well:

Find out when the hotel has rooms available and go during low season. Its fairly low cost for a hotel to give you a couple free nights when they have extra capacity.

Find hotels or trips that align with your existing audience - the hotel wants to know that they could actually get some customers from your posts. In my case, I prefer to work with eco lodges or boutique hotels that are a little more adventurous.

I try to play the odds - if 10% of the hotels say yes to partnering with you, then how may would you want to pitch to guarantee you get a match? Generally I will send start by emailing 10-15 potential partner hotels. I find the email for the hotel manager or the marketing manager on the hotel website.

When you get to the hotel, make sure you know what photos/video/stories you want to capture and how long it will take you to collect those, so you can enjoy you experience when you are finished. I try to shoot photos of the room in the first 10 minutes before it gets messed up with luggage unpacking

I try to ask what has worked well for a hotel in the past and if there is any specific angle they would like to promote. When we were staying at castle Otocec in Slovenia, the hotel manager really wanted me to focus on their highly rated restaurant and the fresh local food (the breakfast buffet made me feel like a Lord)

Then I try to over deliver - if I promised five instagram posts, then I’ll do six, plus a facebook live, plus a mention on the podcast. I also make sure I give them all the photos I take so they can use them for later for their own social media.

When negotiating with hotels, it's great if you can provide some testimonials or case studies of hotels you have worked with in the past. So when people have reached out and said, “I went to this hotel after you mentioned it and had the best sleep I've had in years," I keep track of that in a file.

Sometimes a hotel can only give you part of what you ask for. For example, you might have to settle for one free night instead of two, and a discounted dinner instead of free.

I invite you to experiment and have some fun with this! You never know what you will get until you ask.
Examples of free hotel stays and trips we have gotten:

* Hot Air Ballooning in Southern California
