Brian Dixon — most folks call him Dixon — is a Colorado-based Adventurer, Author, and Speaker, and a recovering midlife man-zombie. For twenty years, he lived misaligned — playing the superhero for everyone but himself. In 2014, a life-threatening mountain bike crash ended years of quiet drift. Alignment took longer — until he made a decision most men his age would never consider. At fifty, he chased down a dream from his youth. He found a mentor, committed to years of training, and flew a paraglider solo off Colorado's Lookout Mountain. It might sound like a midlife cliché. It wasn't—it was clarifying. That flight reset his True North. Everything he teaches fits into a simple mantra: Wake up. Realign. Move forward. Today, he helps men break free from misalignment — so they can Wake Up. Realign. Move Forward. In episode 653 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out how a driven, high-functioning guy ends up asleep at the wheel, what happened with his pulmonary embolism after the mountain bike crash, why he launched a paraglider solo off Lookout Mountain, why men drift after college and how to avoid it, what does misalignment look like in your twenties, how you lead others without losing yourself, what does "True North" actually mean for a 21-year-old, how to distinguish between destructive risk and growth-producing risk, what is the moment men give up but never talk about, and what daily habits keep a man awake instead of drifting. Enjoy!

PALM26, the best time of the year! Lyndell, Sarah, Simon and TOC took the podcast to the Clare Valley in SA. The Adventurers enjoyed a live pod recording at Clare Rise Bakery. There was talk of all things Clare Valley and an interview with the ED Sheridan Laws and one of the RDs, Sue Mayfield. Adventurers popped into Dazza's live, the quizmaster worked his magic and there were milestones a plenty. Disclaimer: Lots of carbs were consumed in the recording of this podcast.

In this episode of the BritCham Singapore Podcast, Co-Chair of the Marketing & Communications Committee Andrew Clark sits down with world-record adventurer Louis Alexander to explore the mindset behind extreme endurance, resilience, and purpose. By the age of 25, Louis became the first person to run a marathon on all seven continents and swim a marathon in all seven seas, achieving both feats in just 633 days. Beyond the physical challenges, his adventures are driven by a deeply personal mission—to raise £1 million for dementia research in honour of his grandfather, who was diagnosed with the disease at a young age. The conversation explores the realities behind modern-day exploration—from running through the Amazon rainforest and Antarctica to swimming in some of the world's most challenging seas—and the mindset required to keep moving forward when conditions become overwhelming. Louis shares how resilience, decision-making, and purpose shape his approach to risk, leadership, and pushing beyond perceived limits. Other key themes include the power of persistence in the face of rejection, the role of mentors and support networks in building a career in unconventional fields, and how lessons from extreme adventure can translate into leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving in professional environments. 

Artie Ahier developed a fascination with all things polar after reading Endurance at age 13. The harrowing story of Shackleton's Antarctic misadventure so gripped young Artie that he spent his whole life dreaming of one day experiencing that desolate, people-less land. Raised in his family's restaurant in a small New Brunswick town on Canada's Restigouche River, Artie always found happiness in nature on the water. His family didn't travel much, so his original seed of exploring the big world was sown in his best friend's living room reading National Geographic. By a series of happy accidents, Artie made his way into the hospitality business and married a chef. Their life  became one big, glorious adventure. Together, they skippered motor yachts through Florida and the Caribbean, ran hotels and a luxury guest Ranch in the remote Big Bend of Texas and opened an award-winning restaurant on Vancouver Island, where Artie has lived since 2000. Their restaurant, SoBo (Sophisticated Bohemian) was named a Zagat top 100 restaurant in Canada in 2007. For Artie, the theme was always the same, take great care of the guests and show them what natural treasures abound ... whether serving "grassroots gourmet" cuisine or leading bird, bat and nature walks. Artie's life took a hard turn when he woke up at 50 and realized he just wasn't happy. His marriage had run its course and the restaurant business had burned him out. "I have a love of isolation in nature. The ocean and coastline of the world is my mistress," he mused. This pull toward nature and the water brought him back to skippering boats on whale, bear and bird watching tours in British Columbia, as he said goodbye to his marriage and the restaurant world. Then a phone call took him back to his childhood dream - an opportunity to guide nature tours and Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) expeditions in Antarctica. Artie didn't think twice. In 2017, just past fifty, he made his fantasy reality and joined the expedition leadership with renowned expedition cruise company Quark. Artie has been guiding in the pristine waters of the Arctic and Antarctica ever since. He spent over 200 days in the Arctic this past year, reveling as he shares his passion for the outdoors with others, helping them (including your host Stu and his family) better understand his favorite mystical frozen wilderness landscape. Artie is ecstatic to now live a life surrounded by nature on an almost daily basis. When not chasing birds he can be found on his SUP, listening to music and enjoying great food and wine, but not generally at the same time.Have a Swan Dive to share?

As he has traveled the world, he continues to see the world with eyes wide open. Experiencing -yes , but also looking for opportunities to change / improve the (current) status quo.  My guest on this episode is none other than Mr. Martyn Williams - founder and owner of a commercial airline that regularly travels to Antarctica.

Deep sea explorer Edie Widder will never forget her first dive into the deep ocean. The second she turned off the lights on her submersible, she was met with a light show, “like the Fourth of July.” She couldn't believe her eyes as blue sparks, swirls, and flashes filled her vision. The lesson was one she would bring through years of her career: the deep ocean is not a barren wasteland; it's a vibrant world teeming with life and light. This week on Say More, Widder talks to co-host Anna Kusmer about the inner-explorer within each of us, and the ways curiosity can trump fear. Email us at saymore@globe.com.

You know how most D&D characters are born fully formed at level one — parents dead, personality optional, and a backstory written five minutes before initiative? Yeah — not today. Today we're rolling childhood trauma on random tables, getting adopted by gnomes after fatal alchemy accidents, committing crimes we didn't commit, and possibly dying before Session One even starts. Because life path character creation doesn't just ask: "Who are you?" It asks: "What if your wizard got fired, drafted, divorced, marooned, or eaten by bureaucracy before the campaign began?" So grab some dice — we're not building characters. We're speedrunning their entire existential crisis. Show Notes This episode explores life path character creation systems — an alternative to traditional menu-driven D&D character building — examining how different RPGs integrate backstory directly into mechanics and narrative identity. The hosts contrast standard Dungeons & Dragons character creation, where mechanics and story can exist independently, with life path approaches that embed history into character structure and development. Instead of assembling a build from selectable options, lifepath systems simulate formative experiences through randomized or semi-structured progression. Life path creation is framed as a form of "session negative one" — a prologue where the character's life unfolds before play begins. Characters might be recruited, drafted, fired, injured, or otherwise transformed during creation, sometimes even dying before gameplay begins (famously in Traveller). This approach produces characters with rich histories and emotional weight while removing optimization control — emphasizing emergent narrative over build efficiency. The conversation examines multiple implementations: D&D (Xanathar's Guide) Random tables generate birthplace, family structure, and life events. These tools help players — especially newcomers — construct organic backstories and roleplaying hooks without mechanical impact. Pathfinder (Ultimate Campaign) A background generator integrates story and mechanics through traits, flaws, and narrative modifiers tied to ancestry, upbringing, and experiences — encouraging characters built from story outward rather than optimization inward. Traveller Presented as the canonical lifepath system, characters advance through four-year career terms determined by rolls and stats. Players attempt education, military service, or careers and face survival checks, advancement, injury, debt, or social gain — producing veterans shaped by experience rather than archetype selection. Across systems, the hosts emphasize that lifepath creation trades predictability for storytelling power — generating flawed, surprising, and memorable characters that feel lived-in before session one begins. The episode ultimately frames lifepaths as a creativity engine: Excellent for players who struggle with backstories Great for emergent storytelling Occasionally traumatic for min-maxers Because sometimes you wanted to be an astronaut — and instead you lost a leg in character creation. Key Takeaways Life path character creation vs traditional D&D character creation Menu-driven builds separate mechanics from narrative, while lifepaths integrate backstory-driven RPG character generation into mechanics and identity "Session Negative One" storytelling approach Lifepaths act as playable prologues generating history through simulated events Randomization encourages emergent roleplay Tables and rolls produce unexpected backgrounds that spark creativity and character depth Optimization vs storytelling tension Lifepaths prioritize narrative authenticity over build control, often frustrating min-max players D&D Xanathar's system — narrative only Useful for generating flavor and roleplay hooks without mechanical changes Pathfinder background generator — mechanical integration Traits, flaws, and story feats connect upbringing to gameplay bonuses Traveller — full simulation lifepath model Career progression, survival checks, and aging create veteran characters with lived histories Ideal use cases Players struggling with creative backstories Groups seeking collaborative storytelling depth Campaigns emphasizing narrative immersion Core philosophical takeaway Characters don't begin at Level One — they arrive shaped by experience Lifepaths transform character creation from assembly to biography Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

What happens when you say yes to an unexpected opportunity? In Part 1 of this three-part series, I'm sitting down with Joel Schauer, an Adventurers Grand Slam achiever, one of the few people in the world to reach the North Pole, South Pole, and the highest peak on every continent. What makes Joel's story extraordinary isn't just the mountains, it's that he started at age 48, never had climbing on his bucket list, failed multiple times, battled altitude sickness, and had to learn when to quit, when to trust, and when to keep going. This episode explores:• How failure became part of the journey, not the end• Why trusting the right guide matters more than confidence• The mindset shift from chasing goals to embracing opportunities• Patience, persistence, and the leadership lessons forged on the mountainThis is a powerful conversation about thinking differently, letting go of control, and discovering what's possible when you take the next step, even when the path wasn't part of your plan.

Endurance adventurer Sean Conway has lived a life defined by adventure, resilience and a relentless desire to do hard things. Driven by curiosity and an appetite for pushing beyond what most consider possible, Sean has built a career out of testing the very edges of human endurance. He is the man who completed 105 full distance triathlons in 105 consecutive days, breaking the world record for the most consecutive full Iron distance triathlons. He became the first person to swim the length of Britain, a 900 mile journey from Land's End to John o' Groats.  He has cycled 4,000 miles self-supported across Europe from Portugal to Russia faster than anyone before him. He completed the world's longest triathlon, a continuous 4,200 mile ultra triathlon around the coast of Great Britain. He has cycled around the world, yes around the world, completed multiple marathon and ultra runs including 15 marathons in 15 national parks in 15 days. And that is only a tiny snapshot of an extraordinary endurance resume he has achieved since first delving into the wonderful world of endurance sport. Born in Zimbabwe and raised in South Africa on vast wildlife conservation parks, Sean didn't grow up sporty. His first dream was to travel the world as a National Geographic photographer. When that ambition didn't materialise, he pivoted, choosing endurance as his vehicle for exploration and purpose.  In doing so, he wrote himself into the record books on multiple occasions, becoming the first person to complete an Endurance Grand Slam; achieving a world's first, world's longest, world's fastest and world's most. Inspired by boundary breakers who redefined what endurance could look like, Sean has not only chased records himself, he now coaches, mentors and encourages others to test their own limits. A motivational speaker and author of multiple books, in this episode, we explore his philosophy of deliberately choosing difficult paths, what fuels his fear of living an ordinary life and how he continues to test what he's truly capable of. This is an incredible conversation on resilience, reinvention and building a life exploring the hard road, on purpose. An episode well worth tuning into. To find out more about Sean and his incredible achievements go to www.seanconway.com

Our first guests of 2026 are familiar names in endurance sport here in Ireland; Rob Cummins and Aisling Coppinger who share with us an honest and inspiring conversation about life, love and longevity in sport.  Owners of Wheelworx, they are well known faces at triathlon and multisport events as both athletes and event support.  In this episode, Rob and Aisling reflect on their individual paths into triathlon, from early beginnings as novices to competing on the world stage.  Rob shares his long journey through IRONMAN racing, including early doubts and how his training approach has evolved over time, whilst Aisling shares insight into her transition from running into triathlon and the challenge of overcoming a deep fear of open water swimming.  A key focus of this episode is their 2025 season, where they embraced a whirlwind World Championship Tour that saw them race and support each other at the IRONMAN World Championship in Nice where Rob raced, Kona where Aisling raced and Marbella with both of them racing the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship where their season culminated in the Costa Del Sol.  They offer insight into the demands of each event, from race conditions and strategy to the emotional impact of lining up in Kona. Both Aisling and Rob reflect on what these experiences mean to them beyond results, highlighting gratitude, perspective, enjoyment and the journey to the start and finish line of each race they embraced.  The conversation also explores how they balance commitment to their training with running a successful and busy business whilst maintaining a strong personal relationship. Training together, supporting each other through setbacks and simplifying routines have become central to their approach. This is a great chat with Aisling and Rob, with reflections on what triathlon has given them and how they look ahead to future races with curiosity rather than pressure, emphasising teamwork, resilience and the importance of enjoying the journey. This renewed energy and perspective on triathlon racing, a far cry from the years of 'Chasing Kona' as detailed in Rob's book published almost a decade ago. 

Howdy Toonhounds! There's more Fantasy than you can shake a multipronged halberd at out there, so we watched a couple more cartoons in the realm of creatures and burly men. Pirates of Dark Water, (which should absolutely be called darkwater, but unfortunately they didn't ask me), and Conan the Adventurer, not to be confused with Conan the Adventurer, which is a different show entirely and starred Kevin Sorbo.---Toonhounds is brought to you by⁠ https://www.patreon.com/Toonhounds⁠Our theme song is from Vidazen, ⁠https://vidazen.carrd.co/

This week we are talking about The Great Cleric, an Isekai that trades the typical overpowered hero trope for a salaryman just trying not to die a second time. We largely spend some time debating the show's unique mechanics, specifically the protagonist's grueling training regimen and his constant consumption of the mysterious "Substance X." Rick got hung up on some details  but overall he felt that the show had a book end. Jack found it to be an easy watch and an incredibly easy binge so much so that he knocked it out in a single sitting. He's much more forgiving of the wide-open ending, viewing it as a setup that actually has him considering picking up the light novels just to see where the story goes next. About the anime:The Great Cleric takes a slightly different approach to the standard isekai formula. Instead of an overpowered hero being summoned to defeat a demon lord, we follow a salaryman who gets reincarnated as a 15-year-old named Luciel. And his main motivation is pure survival and since he's terrified of dying young again, he chooses the job class "Healer" as his main job. However, realizing that healers often get exploited or killed because they can't fight back he also chooses the martial arts skill as a back up to help him and he decides to train his body to an absurd degree at the Adventurer's Guild. Where more chaos ensues as we drinks something called "Substance X" with daily training. It's essentially a workplace drama disguised as a fantasy anime, focusing on bureaucracy, corruption in the Healer's Guild, and the grind of self-improvement.Next Week's Pick: “Burst Angel”Have you had the chance to watch The Great Cleric or any of our previous selections?

Pippi Langstrumpf ist ganz klar unsere Kindheitsheldin. Das starke, mutige, freche Mädchen, eine Romanfigur von Astrid Lindgren. Ihre roten Haare, die Sommersprossen, die Villa Kunterbunt, ihre Abenteuer: alles frei erfunden – oder? Nicht ganz. Heute erzählen wir euch die Geschichte der echten Pippi Langstrumpf. Ester Blenda Nordström ist wohl die mutigste Reporterin, von der wir je gehört haben. Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts rast sie nicht nur mit ihrem Motorrad durch Stockholm, sondern auch den spannendsten Geschichten des Landes hinterher. Sie tut etwas, das vor ihr noch kein schwedischer Journalist – und erst recht keine schwedische Journalistin – gewagt hat: Sie geht für ihre Reportagen undercover. Klingt ein bisschen nach Pippi Langstrumpf? Das ist ganz bestimmt kein Zufall. Ob sich Astrid Lindgren tatsächlich von der mutigen Reporterin Ester Blenda Nordström inspirieren ließ, beleuchten wir in dieser Folge von True Love. Eine Produktion von Auf Ex Productions. Hosts: Leonie Bartsch & Linn Schütze Recherche: Tanja Kachler, Antonia Faltermaier Redaktion: Antonia Fischer Produktion: Lorenz Schütze, Julian Ortleb Quellen (Auswahl) Buch "Life in Every Breath: Ester Blenda: Reporter, Adventurer, Pioneer" von Fatima Bremmer und Gloria Nneoma Onwuneme Buch "Pippi Langstrumpf.

As we step into a new year, this episode of The Happy Menopause explores what it really means to age creatively – and how we can rediscover joy, confidence and adventure as we grow older.I'm delighted to welcome back Jo Moseley, six years after she first shared her story of breaking down in a Tesco biscuit aisle during perimenopause - a moment that became the catalyst for a powerful midlife transformation. Since then, Jo has become the first woman to paddleboard coast-to-coast across England, written award-winning books, made short films and championed joyful, adventurous ageing.In this warm and inspiring conversation, we talk about the healing power of nature, the confidence that comes from gentle challenges, and why being a beginner can be one of the most liberating things we do in mid and later life. Jo also shares how the outdoors has supported her through grief, heartbreak and major life changes, and why small, consistent steps matter far more than big resolutions.If you're feeling overwhelmed, tired or stuck at the start of the year, this episode offers reassurance, perspective and practical inspiration. You don't need to be fearless or fit -just willing to begin, exactly where you are. If you're a fan of The Happy Menopause, please tell your friends and family about it, and make sure you click the follow or subscribe button on whichever platform you listen on to make sure you never miss an episode.
