Ep. 796: Thirteen Years Living at Sea and Counting - Revisited - Brian Trautman Jan 07, 2022

Show notes

Sailing around the world: Brian Trautman's decade-plus journey after quitting his job, selling everything, buying a boat, and sailing from Seattle to New Zealand – visiting 6 continents, 40 countries, crossing every ocean on his 53-foot ketch SV Delos, and sharing countless adventures on his YouTube channel with over 100 million views.

Originally aired August 16, 2019

Have you ever wanted to just quit your job, sell your house and head out on an adventure for a decade? Yeah, me too. Today we chat with someone who actually did that and is still doing it, Brian Trautman.

After being unsatisfied with the “perfect job”, house, car, etc., he came across a book about sailing across the ocean and knew that was what he needed to do with his life.

He sold everything he owned, bought a boat, and sailed to New Zealand from Seattle. That first experience started a trend that would extend for more than a decade and lead to countless adventures that have been chronicled on his YouTube channel: Sailing SV Delos, gaining over 100 million views in the process.

To date, Brian has visited 6 continents, 40 countries, and crossed every ocean on his 53 foot Ketch.

Enjoy!

Alastair Humphreys is an adventurer, author, and motivational speaker. His first big adventure was completing a four-year bicycle journey around the world that consisted of 46,000 miles of cycling and changed his life forever. After the trip, he popularized the idea of microadventures - short, local, accessible adventures for the average person. This idea helped him achieve becoming a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year in 2012.

Alastair is a huge inspiration of mine and I hope you enjoy our conversation about life, parenting, and the delicate balance between normal life and pursuing adventure.

Ep. 793: Thru-Hiking the Appalachian Trail & Walking Across America…Barefoot - Ron Zaleski Dec 27, 2021

Show notes

Barefoot walking: Marine veteran Ron Zaleski's lifelong commitment to going shoeless since 1972 in honor of his fallen Vietnam squadron members, transforming grief into purpose after a child's question, then thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail and walking coast-to-coast barefoot to raise awareness for veterans' challenges.

Back in 1972, Marine veteran Ron Zaleski decided to take off his shoes in honor of the fallen members of his squadron from the Vietnam war. He doesn’t know exactly why not wearing shoes was his answer of how to deal with the grief and guilt but the fact remained that he never put them back on and he had never told anyone why he went barefoot. That is until one day a little boy asked him why he wasn’t wearing shoes…

That boy was the first person Ron had told about why he was living barefoot in over 30 years. Ron immediately saw his dedication to ‘barfootness’ as a way to raise awareness and honor his fallen friends in a much more impactful way. Not long after, Ron set out on a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail and a coast-to-coast walk across the US with no shoes at all to honor and raise awareness for the many challenges veterans face when returning home.

His stories are endless, captivating, and amazingly told.

Ep. 791: Paddleboarding From the Bahamas to Florida - Casey Kiernan Dec 20, 2021

Show notes

Paddleboard racing: Casey's unexpected overall win in the 80-mile Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis from Bahamas to Florida, taking the women's division and top spot, building on her skimboarding background where she became world champion twice, and her rapid rise in paddleboarding since starting in January 2021.

Casey had high hopes when she set off from the Bahamas to race her paddleboard to Florida during the annual Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis. She knew she had trained well, prepared her best and was a strong paddler. However, she didn’t expect that she would actually win the 80-mile adventure.

When she ran through the finish line on the Florida beach, she was elated to find that she had not only won the women’s division of the race but the race overall!

Today we’re hearing Casey’s story about how her love of skimboarding and unexpectedly being crowned the world champ twice led to her also becoming a highly accomplished paddleboarder, a sport she has only started since January 2021.
