Out 'N About

Jacob Cotner is a 19-year-old lift operator from Atlanta, Georgia. He came here to shred pow and learn somewhere in the range of 10 to 20 Spanish phrases that will garner him enough street cred to, one day, own and operate his very own hybrid snowboard/break dance/pastry shop, Sin Duda.   This season's adventure takes place in Park City, Utah, where I'm working as a Liftee (lift operator) on the largest ski resort in North America. I came out here in order to learn how to snowboard and forge connections that will last a lifetime. My hope, as always, is that if I stay open to it, life will present me with opportunities that will lead me to more and more adventures.

It seems like it’s been a lifetime since our last podcast. In the last 10 days, we began to take on water, lost our deckhand, saw the SS Ric Flair sink to the bottom of the ocean, and saw ourselves stranded in Raleigh, North Carolina. After an incredible 5 weeks of travel, the universe decided to take a steamer on our chests, effectively ending the trip. Tune in to catch the chaos that was the last 10 days of the SS Ric Flair.

We met on a train to Chicago, where Max laid out his vision for his company, and low and behold, 18 months later, he is absolutely thriving!   Best Quotes:   “Luck is when opportunity meets preparation.”   “Would you rather be at peace with yourself and war with the world, or war with yourself or peace with the world?”   “Everyone has an island.

Dan Geist just got done teaching his first year of middle school World History at a private school in the Kansas City area. Before that he graduated with a degree in Secondary Education from Kansas State University, in which time he spent a semester studying in Prague and traveling around Europe. Between us, we have touched a large portion of 3 continents outside of North America, and whether it was from our travels or Dan’s year of teaching, we noticed the same glaring truth. From elementary school all the way through university, the US education system is flawed in many ways that leave our youth stressed, in debt, and less equipped for the real world than ever before!   Links to resources:   American Airlines Shavon Shields Instagram Trevor Moy Instagram LA Rams Instagram Zoom YouTube Machu Picchu Truly Boulevard Pale Ale Facebook TEFL Kansas State University Melatonin Production in Children Twitch Start School Later Petition   Keep up with Dan’s adventures on his instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dan_geist/?hl=en   Find clips of the show on Instagram!   For all the episodes, blog posts about our guests/stories, and other great content, go to nicocoady.com!

Brandon Haggard spent 2 years living and working in Kolkata, India after he graduated from Kansas State University. Before he went out there, he thought what many young Americans think, that he had the world figured out and that his shit didn’t stink. Immersing yourself in a culture that is so defined by its community after spending your entire life in a culture that is so defined by individuality will come with its resistance. After about 6 months in India, Brandon was able to gain some perspective that would teach him one of life’s greatest lessons: different is not wrong.   Links to resources:   Joe Rogan Experience Facebook School House Rock YouTube True Detective SpaceX BigDawsTV The Go Giver Netflix Amazon Prime Good Boys Boulevard Bourbon Smash Coca Cola Danny Clemente Instagram Domonique Sutton Instagram 2005 Illinois Men’s Basketball Kansas City Chiefs Zoom   Check out Brandon on Instagram!   Find clips of the show on Instagram!

Dawson Gurley is a famous YouTuber, running the incredibly successful channel, BigDawsTV. You may also know him as the infamous Klay Thompson alter ego, Thay Klompson. However, Dawson didn’t always know that he was meant for YouTube fame. Coming out of high school in Olathe, Kansas, Dawson missed the deadline to sign up for a fraternity with all of his buddies at KU, and ultimately decided to go a different route. Little did he know, that would be one of the greatest things that could have ever happened to him.   After failing out of community college, Dawson decided to move out to Arizona to start his rap career. When that didn’t go as planned, he decided to finish his Associate’s degree with the hope of transferring to Arizona State. That was until he woke up to one of his videos on Good Morning America, and from there he knew that his future awaited him on YouTube. Since then, he has grown to new heights every year, even pretending to be a Cuban named “Nico” in one of his videos. So basically, I am famous af.    “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.

What do Kim Jong-un and I have in common? Well, besides our shared love for Ryan Reynolds and all things Paul Simon, we can both eat like complete assholes. Kim’s love for junk food has landed him in some hot water, putting the future of his country further into the realm of the unknown. Mine has landed me on the toilet about 3 times a day since I broke my one-month carnivore diet, which is only appropriate because 2020 has found itself in the shitter so far.   Information, and porn, are just pouring out of North Korea Psychopaths can simultaneously be great leaders So far, 2020 is sitting in the red for mankind The global expansion of the NBA into Asia and Africa What’s it going to take for the world to go back to normal?

In times like these, it’s real easy to sit on the couch and watch Netflix all day, one hand in your pants while using the other to shove an entire sleeve of cookies down your throat.

With all the ruckus that this virus is causing, it’s easy to forget that there is so much more happening that is being swept under the rug. That’s why today, Sandy and I have chosen to take on the world and some of its issues. From the dispute in the South China Sea to Zoom happy hours, we break down what’s going on and where we might be headed. One thing that we as earth people can agree on, however, is R.I.P. BBD.   In this episode, we break down… An update on day 21 on my 30-day carnivore diet Korea is doing a great job of controlling the spread How could China have possibly capped this thing under 100,000 people?

I have no idea Taiwan is not a part of China, but that’s just not the way the world sees it It’s the way that just about every large civilization has been built Taiwanese is not only hard to learn but spreads much farther than you think Depending on where you are, your pandemic experience is drastically different Global logistics will change forever when this pandemic ends Blitzkrieg Syndrome, we made the name but not the meaning From Zoom happy hours to workout challenges, people have too much time BBD is coming for you, so keep your eyes open   Links to resources:   WhatsApp   Zoom   Global Conflict Tracker   Upwork   TEFL Costa Rica   Find clips of the show on Instagram!

Thinking about hopping on a plane and going on vacation? If you live under a rock, are a Raiders fan, or just don’t use the internet, then your answer to that question is probably yes. Well, my guest today, Trevor Moy, is a data analyst for American Airlines, and he’s here to tell you why right now is probably not a great time to head for the airport.

With seemingly the entire world going into lockdown, the day-to-day for so many people has already changed drastically. We are all presented with a choice: either you can use this time to be lazy, eat like shit, and wait it out, or you can choose to be productive, develop healthy habits, and learn more about yourself. Sandy and I have chosen option number 2, trying a 5-day fast and a 30-day carnivore diet between the two of us for a variety of reasons. We have made the choice to pick up new hobbies and dive headfirst into them while we have the time. So, which one will you choose? The choice is yours.   In this episode, we break down… New conspiracy theory about the origin of the virus The motivating factors for Austin’s 5-day water fast A day-by-day breakdown of Austin’s energy levels through the fast Breaking the fast is not an explosion of calories Here’s how the first 12 days of the carnivore diet have gone 2 ways that people are going to come out of this whole mess Use this time at home to monetize your hobbies Maintaining your fitness vs. trying to play catchup What in the hell are we going to do about all of our sports?   Links to resources:   Chips Ahoy   Walmart   Hen House   Hyvee   Upwork   TEFL Costa Rica   Find clips of the show on Instagram!

Sandy and I were lucky enough to grow up in the United States with enough room around us to think for ourselves. That’s not a luxury that most of the world has. I was raised in a Catholic family and am now an Atheist in my mid-20s. Sandy came up in a family that was not religious. We have both had the opportunity to live all over the world with people from different religious upbringings and that has allowed us to gain a unique perspective on religion. Just because someone has a different religious point of view doesn’t mean you can’t listen to what they have to say!   In this episode, we break down… Growing up in a Catholic family vs. a non-religious family Different factors that determine someone’s religion When people start cherry-picking the bible The positive sense of community that comes with religion 2 questions that have to be asked Why people have a hard time not believing in God Living with people of many different religious backgrounds   Links to resources: TEFL Costa Rica   Find clips of the show on Instagram!

Out 'N About is a podcast dedicated to promoting open-minded conversation consisting of varying opinions. Sandy and I have traveled all over the world, living in the slums of Mumbai and South America, all the way to one of the richest parts of the US. We have been able to gain a unique perspective on how the world works. It is very apparent that in today's world, everyone is looking to be offended by any differing opinion from their own. Our hope is to show the world that you can be open-minded to different views of the world without being offended. We are here to entertain and inform, so keep an open mind and enjoy!
