Podcasts about exploring

Ever wondered what beer chemistry, emo vampires, and broom mechanics have in common? Neither did we—until this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast! We're diving deep into RPG madness, from the grimy charm of Shadow Dark to the chaos of Warhammer's magic (spoiler: it's messy). Then, we tackle Symbaroum, where sweeping is serious business, and Vison, the perfect game for overachieving detectives. Horror fans, brace yourselves! It's eldritch chills with Call of Cthulhu, slapstick terror with Pulp Cthulhu, and Appalachian nightmares with Old Gods of Appalachia. Oh, and don't forget Vampire: The Masquerade, where brooding has never been so stylish. Summary Join the RPGBOT hosts as they embark on a tabletop odyssey filled with epic quests, fermented wisdom, and dice-fueled shenanigans! In this episode, they sip on the heady brew of beer chemistry before stumbling into the Old-School Renaissance of Shadow Dark—where dungeons are grim, and death is always just a dice roll away. The adventure takes a quirky turn with Symbaroum, a game where sweeping mechanics finally get their moment in the spotlight, and spirals into the arcane depths of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay's magic systems (spoiler: it's like herding chaotic cats). Mystery lovers, rejoice! They dissect Vison, an RPG that dares players to think—and maybe overthink—its clever puzzles. For horror fans, it's a double feature: Call of Cthulhu's sanity-shattering frights meet Pulp Cthulhu's lighthearted antics (think Indiana Jones with an eldritch twist). The hosts then dive fang-first into Vampire: The Masquerade and the brooding drama of World of Darkness, where players face the ultimate challenge: emo roleplay. To cap it off, the crew gets their candles snuffed out in Ten Candles and pulled into the spine-tingling Appalachian horrors of Old Gods of Appalachia. Whether you're rolling a nat 20 or a nat 1, this episode celebrates RPGs in all their weird, wonderful glory.

OSR games bring simplicity and nostalgia reminiscent of early D&D. SimBroom introduces corruption mechanics that shape gameplay. High-risk, high-reward gameplay boosts player engagement. RPGs offer unique themes and mechanics, expanding gameplay possibilities. Dragonbane lets players embody whimsical characters, like ducks. Shadow Dark thrives on time pressure and quick decision-making. Vison focuses on solving mysteries over combat, creating unique narratives. World of Darkness emphasizes personal horror and the burden of being a monster. Call of Cthulhu delivers cosmic horror with sanity mechanics, while Pulp Cthulhu adds action-oriented flair. Horror RPGs, like Old Gods of Appalachia and Ten Candles, use innovative mechanics to amplify tension. Dread, with its Jenga tower, brings suspense into the physical realm. Character Creation & Player Experience Brewing beer involves mastering sugar and fermentation processes. Transitioning from dungeon fantasy to darker themes in RPGs can challenge players. Vampire RPGs often introduce disempowerment and moral dilemmas, such as the dangerous Diablerie mechanic. Character survival in horror RPGs often hinges on player choices and narrative decisions. Game Selection & Exploration Selecting games often involves collaboration and even dice rolls. Exploring lesser-known RPGs enriches the gaming experience and storytelling. The RPG landscape is vast, with many innovative games to explore. Exploring different RPGs can enhance storytelling and player engagement. Resources & Community Engagement The chapter on mysteries in Vison's rulebook is a valuable resource for any TTRPG. Rubrics can help evaluate RPG mechanics and themes effectively.

"What if I told you none of it was accidental?" On this special NYE edition, we're revisiting our Parallel Songs episode, which means you're getting six show-and-tell songs instead of three! In this episode, we explore the concept of parallel songs in Taylor Swift's discography, focusing on thematic and lyrical connections between pairs of songs. We discuss the similarities between the carefree hangout vibes of “22” and the more mature perspective of letting loose in “Bejeweled”; the contrasting views of fate in “Invisible String” and agency in “Mastermind”. And, we take a technical lens to the songs “Labyrinth” and “You're Losing Me”, highlighting how they embody experiences of love and loss.

"Crunchy rules or simple vibes? Political intrigue or straight-up dungeon brawls? Survival in a dying world or low-power fantasy feels?" This remastered RPGBOT.Podcast dives into everything you love (and fear) about tabletop RPGs that aren't D&D or Pathfinder. From decision trees to help you find your perfect game match, to the storytelling magic of Powered by the Apocalypse, and the chaotic survival of Mork Borg, there's something for everyone if you're willing to look past what you already know. Tune in if you've ever wondered, "Is my game too crunchy, or am I just lazy?" Summary In this episode, the hosts take a deep dive into the diverse landscape of tabletop RPGs, offering a wealth of insights into various systems, mechanics, and themes. They introduce the concept of decision trees, a practical tool to help players identify RPGs that align with their preferences. The discussion covers the spectrum of complexity, from the intricate 'crunch' of detailed systems to the simplicity of more streamlined games. Key highlights include: The Cypher System and Genesis: An exploration of these versatile systems, focusing on their mechanics and adaptability to different genres. Powered by the Apocalypse Framework: A look at its elegant simplicity and flexibility, making it an excellent choice for narrative-driven campaigns. Legend of the Five Rings vs. Adventures in Rokugan: A comparison of political intrigue-focused gameplay with combat-centric mechanics, illustrating the range of experiences within fantasy RPGs. Mörk Borg: An examination of its dark, nihilistic themes, where traditional heroism gives way to survival in a grim and decaying world. The conversation also ventures into niche areas, such as the unique storytelling potential of solo RPGs, and highlights specific systems like Numenera, with its futuristic exploration themes, and One Ring 2E, celebrated for its low-power fantasy and rich Tolkien-inspired lore. The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding a game's mechanics and setting realistic expectations to maximize the enjoyment of any RPG experience.

Game Mechanics and Decision-Making The decision tree helps players find suitable RPGs. "Crunch" refers to the interaction with game mechanics. The Captain Crunch scale measures game complexity. Understanding game mechanics enhances the RPG experience. RPG Systems The Cypher System is easy to learn and play. Genesis is a generic system based on Fantasy Flight's Star Wars. Powered by the Apocalypse is a versatile framework. Powered by the Apocalypse games are easy to learn. Fate is complex and math-heavy. The Year Zero Engine is simple yet effective. Solo RPGs can be rewarding experiences. Character Creation and Progression Character creation in RPGs can vary significantly. Character progression in One Ring 2E requires patience and strategy. Adjusting difficulty can enhance the gameplay experience. Thematic and Genre Elements Monster Hearts is popular in the LGBT community. Legend of the Five Rings emphasizes political intrigue (combat is discouraged). Merc Borg presents a nihilistic view of RPGs. Adventures in Rokugan is more combat-focused than its predecessor. Colossal is a unique solo RPG experience. Mercord uniquely advocates for real-world arson in its gameplay. Numenera presents a science fantasy setting a billion years in the future. Players in One Ring 2E are grounded, facing impossible odds. Exploring the themes of low-power fantasy can lead to rich storytelling. Gameplay Depth The intrusion system adds depth to gameplay. The Eye of Sauron and Gandalf rune add depth to gameplay. Solo play in One Ring 2E is well-implemented and enjoyable.

The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding a game's mechanics and setting realistic expectations to maximize the enjoyment of any RPG experience.

Are Working Genius pairings linked with Ideal Team Player virtues? In episode 103 of the Working Genius Podcast, Pat and Cody explore why Working Genius types cannot and should not be used to predict the three Ideal Team Player virtues (humble, hungry, and smart). They walk through tempting—but ultimately inaccurate—assumptions people often make when connecting specific geniuses to humility, hunger, or emotional intelligence. By clarifying the proper order of team building—hire for virtues first, then place people according to their geniuses—they'll help you avoid costly misinterpretations and build healthier teams.Topics explored in this episode: (00:00) The Premise* Why Ideal Team Player virtues must come before Working Genius when building a team.(03:20) Exploring the “Smart” Virtue and EQ* WG cannot predict emotional intelligence (EQ).* How each working genius type can be either high or low EQ. (08:23) Tempting but Incorrect Correlations Between Virtues and Genius Types* The common assumptions that “D” = smart, “E” = humble, and “T” = hungry.

In this transformative final episode of 2025, Jennifer Hadley stands excited at the threshold of a new nine-year cycle, sharing profound insights from A Course in Miracles Chapter 21 about taking complete responsibility for every aspect of life. She demonstrates this principle through her own family relationships - spending nearly 30 days together this year without conflict after taking "total responsibility for the quality of my relationships." Exploring the radical teaching that "no accident nor chance is possible" in God's universe, Jennifer explains how we each wrote a multi-layered script for our lives with different pathways depending on whether we choose love or fear. Her journey from daily battles and nightmares to living "above the battlefield" proves that transformation isn't rocket science - it simply requires living the principles moment by moment rather than just understanding them intellectually.

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Molly-Anne Chinner. Born from the fairytale landscapes of South West England, Molly is a British sound healer, vocalist, multidimensional musician and founder of The Tone Temple - a growing sanctuary for crystalline sound, practitioner training, and ethically sourced alchemy instruments. Molly's work bridges crystalline sound, devotional voicework, earth magic, and esoteric teachings, guiding students into the deeper currents of sonic alchemy, crystalline resonance, sacred geometry, light body activation, and the art of holding transformational healing spaces with integrity, skill and soul. Molly's creations all carry the same devotion: to awaken remembrance, to restore coherence, and to re-weave our connection to both the Earth beneath our feet and our ancestry in the stars. In this episode, we explore Clear Quartz as both an archetypal remedy and a healing frequency, diving into the deeper currents of sonic alchemy through Molly's lens - from crystalline resonance and sympathetic vibration to the way sound interacts with our bones, cells and the 'crystalline matrix' within us. Molly shares how Clear Quartz reflects the whole cosmic pattern of the universe, how our bodies recognise crystal sound as 'like meets like', and why intention is the true foundation of frequency healing. Exploring the work of Dr Emoto and Veda Austin, revealing how sound, and intention create crystalline coherence in both water and the body, we speak about the unstruck sound within the heart, the soul-song each of us carries, the star-wisdom encoded in our bodies, and the invitation to return to rest and stillness so we can hear the music beneath the noise. This conversation is a remembrance of coherence, belonging, and the truth that we are not separate from the great symphony of the cosmos. What You'll Learn from this Episode: We are made of light and sound - at subatomic levels, the body is a field of vibration constantly moving, shifting and singing Clear Quartz holds a crystalline matrix that reflects the entire cosmic pattern - a fractal of the universe encoded in mineral form Our bones carry silica, which creates sympathetic resonance with crystal bowls - allowing our bodies to 'recognise' and embody their sound Pure intention creates coherence - demonstrated through the cymatic work of Dr. Emoto and Veda Austin, where sound and prayer shape crystalline structure Stillness and silence are essential for hearing the 'unstruck sound' of the heart - the deeper, eternal music beneath the mind Each of us carries a unique soul-song - a personal note in the great cosmic symphony that guides our belonging, coherence and healing.

Episode Description: Welcome, warriors, to the final episode of the year! In this reflective, heart-centered conversation, we pause to honor everything this year asked of us, explore the importance of choosing ourselves, and set intentions for the year ahead, not as a “new year, new you” exercise, but as an invitation to care for and prioritize ourselves with compassion. We dive into: The power of choosing yourself as a practice, with intention Why resting, slowing down, and doing less is revolutionary for women How perfectionism, “prove-it-again” bias, & societal expectations shape our lives Reflections on community, support, and the collective wisdom of the Advancing Women Podcast Along the way, we revisit some of the year's most resonant AWP episodes: Permission to Pause: Can We Stop Doing and Just Be for a Minute?: Exploring why productivity has become a stand-in for worth and why rest is essential. Go Little: Comfort, Joy, and the Art of Doing Less: Redefining success and learning to embrace the meaningfulness of “small” actions and joy. There Is a Crack in Everything: That's How the Light Gets In: Inspired by Leonard Cohen's lyric and Kintsugi, exploring perfectionism, resilience, and honoring the cracks in our lives. This episode is a reminder that choosing yourself isn't selfish, it's necessary. It's about creating space, breathing room, and radical permission to prioritize your needs and growth. Thank you for walking this journey with me, for being part of our warrior community, and for showing up for yourself and each other. Episode Highlights / Key Takeaways: Choosing yourself is a skill or personality trait. It's a practice that comes from small, intentional actions. Reflection and pausing are just as valuable as action and productivity. The cracks in our lives aren't failures; they are opportunities for growth, wisdom, and light. Community matters: you are not alone in navigating all the things… Intentions are powerful even if resolutions aren't perfectly kept; the act of aiming toward growth is what matters. Let's Reflect: Take a moment to journal or reflect: What does “choosing yourself” look like for you right now? Where in your life can you create more space, permission, or breathing room? How can you step into the new year with intention, hope, and self-compassion?

As we celebrate seven years of Fed by the Fruit and stand on the threshold of 2026, KB shares a powerful New Year reflection that goes beyond resolutions and fresh starts. Exploring the truth that "all that's gold doesn't always glitter," this episode reminds us that God's greatest gift came without fanfare or fireworks—a baby in a humble manger who would offer us the ultimate new beginning. Through James 1:17 and personal insights from a conversation with Asher, KB unpacks why the real hope of a new year isn't found in our efforts, but in God's unchanging gift of his son, Jesus Christ.This episode tackles one of the most challenging questions in faith: How could a just God send anybody to heaven? Drawing from Pastor Josh Howerton's teaching, KB explores the concepts of cosmic treason, unmerited grace, and the reality that heaven is the only place where things aren't "fair"—because everyone there deserved hell but received total forgiveness instead. Whether you're entering 2026 with questions about faith, salvation, or the reality of heaven and hell, this milestone episode offers a thoughtful examination of God's perfect gift and an invitation to embrace the new beginning only Jesus can give.This episode serves as both an informative guide to embrace a healthier, more balanced lifestyle, encouraging listeners to embark on their journeys with renewed vigor and compassion.Reach out to KB on Instagram and share your thoughts.

This is a preview of the latest Skull Boys episode. You can unlock the entire episode here on patreon which I'm sure you would enjoy and it would support me financially so that I can keep doing this, hope you are getting some free time during Christmas and New Year. Original episode description: We have now in this series finally arrived at the episode that many of you have been waiting for. The episode about the mysterious Männerbund. We are picking up an old thread fist explored in the Stargate Conspiracy with Reid and Colin but also elaborated upon and hinted at in the first season of the Skull Boys.There are many of you who suspect that Joe Rogan's fame is not the consequence of organic development. We will never know just how that ascension took place but we can study the history of this think tank's knowledge production. The first person to ever come on to the show to attempt to lay forth a cosmology if you like, that is to say a guest who was not one of Rogans comedy buddies or MMA pals, was according to Rogan and the man himself, Graham Hancock.Exploring the idea-historical roots and the personal linage of Hancock, we will take to you to the early days of the great proto-fascistic split of the Theosophical Society in the early 1900s. We will take you to the days of Blavatsky's coming-on-to-the-scene in the 1870s and deeper still to the Spiritualist genesis in March 31, 1848, fuck it, we will take you back to the first arioheroic Swastikalers as they went underground during the masonic bans of the late 1700s.And we will show why Rogan has been told to tell his followers to believe in the strength of the Männerbund.So get out that Christmas drink or spliff or long distance walking boots because I know you will enjoy this one.PS.

Pastor Lindsay reflects on Simeon in Luke 2 and what it means to wait on the Lord with hope. In a world that hates waiting, Simeon shows us a holy, faithful kind of waiting, one rooted not in impatience or certainty of outcomes, but in trust that God is bringing comfort and salvation in His time. Exploring the biblical meaning of waiting (qavah), this sermon reminds us that waiting and hoping are deeply connected, and that God uses waiting seasons to develop our faith, not destroy it. Whether we are ending one year or entering a new one, this message invites us to wait with confidence, expectation, and hope, trusting that Jesus, the Light of the World, will come, just as He did for Simeon fmhouston.com

A thoughtful, sympathetic talk by Srivatii on the most delicate of tasks in any life - how to live in the present moment. Exploring the subtle aspects of past and present, of memory and expectation, we encounter impermanence as the touchstone of our experience through storytelling (Bahiya of the Bark Garment) and the practice of writing - especially poetry.

This episode is a repeat of episode 301.In this episode, Trevor delves into a rich tapestry of moral philosophy and practical ethics. The discussion begins with a panel reflecting on the origins of morals, referencing an earlier episode that featured a conversation with Peter, The 12th Man, and Hugh Harris.

Franz Mair's views on societal constructs and spirituality, as well as debates on contentious figures like Jordan Peterson, are examined. The second part features an in-depth book review of 'Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?' by Michael J. Sandel.

In "Via Francigena: Slow Travel, History, and Self-Discovery on Foot," host Annie Sargent chats with Olivier Andrieu about his incredible 100-day journey along the Via Francigena. Olivier, a former corporate sales director, decided to quit his job and walk from Canterbury, England, to Rome, Italy. He wanted a fresh start and a challenge, and the Via Francigena provided both. Listen to this episode ad-free Olivier shares the highs and lows of his adventure. He walked an average of 25 kilometers per day, staying in convents, monasteries, and Airbnbs along the way. He met people from all over the world, discovered hidden historical gems, and immersed himself in the beauty of slow travel. Olivier's journey took him through England, France, Switzerland, and Italy, offering a rich tapestry of landscapes and cultures. One of the highlights of Olivier's journey was the historical discoveries he made. He learned about a young World War I soldier whose name was engraved in a church near his home. He visited the statue of Rodin in Calais and discovered convents just an hour's drive from his home that he had never seen before. These discoveries added depth and meaning to his journey, connecting him to the history and culture of the places he visited. Annie and Olivier also discuss practical tips for anyone considering a similar journey. Olivier recommends a 35-liter backpack and high-quality gear. He used Akileine Nok cream to prevent blisters and had minimal injuries throughout his journey. His packing tips and advice on finding accommodations are invaluable for anyone planning a long-distance walk. In the magazine segment, Annie critiques The New York Times' "36 Hours in Toulouse" article, emphasizing the importance of experiencing the city beyond a quick checklist. She also dives into the intricate work behind Paris's Christmas windows and updates listeners on the success of free-flow tolling on the A13 motorway.

Notes Matthew 2:1-12 Isaiah 60:1-6 Ephesians 3:1-12 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Eric Fistler and Robb McCoy explore the significance of Epiphany, focusing on the visit of the Magi and the gifts they brought. They discuss the importance of understanding the context of the Magi's visit, debunking common myths, and emphasizing the practical and symbolic meanings of the gifts. The conversation also touches on themes of maternal health, community support, and the universal message of God's grace for all people. The hosts reflect on the prophetic words of Isaiah and the secret plan revealed in Ephesians, encouraging listeners to consider their role in the community and the importance of showing up for one another. Takeaways Epiphany is a significant day in the Christian calendar, often overlooked. The visit of the Magi symbolizes the universal reach of Christ's message. The gifts of the Magi were practical and essential for Mary and Jesus. Understanding the context of biblical stories can enrich our preaching. Maternal health is a critical issue that connects to the story of the Magi. Epiphany invites us to reflect on who needs us in our communities. The dawn symbolizes hope and new beginnings for everyone. Ephesians reveals that God's grace is for all, not just a select few. Community is essential in faith, and everyone has a role to play. The gifts we give should reflect the needs of those around us.

Jeff Colt is back, calling in from Carbondale with a mission to help rehabilitate the name “Jeff” one mountain town conversation at a time. We start with winter training reality in ski country, how to keep momentum when the days are short, the “subsistence” weeks that quietly save your season, and the eternal debate of pants, tights, and looking cool versus staying warm. From there it turns into a bigger conversation about identity, planning, uncertainty, and why the simplest answer sometimes is “we just have Jeff,” so we might as well make it a good one.Then we head straight into the good stuff, the White Mountains and the Mahoosuc Traverse, where “running” becomes scrambling, crawling, and three points of contact through the Mahoosuc Notch. Jeff breaks down the history and the legends (including Chris Getz and the steak stop), why style matters as much as speed in FKTs, and how different eras and ethics shape what we celebrate. We close with one of the most fun tangents of the whole Month of Jeff, what it is really like working in the AMC huts, from responsibility in dangerous weather to full-on blanket-folding skits, including Harry Potter and Frozen, all in service of three sacred rules: fold the blankets, pack out the trash, and tip the hut crew.Support our Sponsors: Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abChapters00:00 The Jeff Identity Crisis06:19 Winter Training in Mountain Towns09:18 Exploring the Mahusik Range12:37 The Legacy of Chris Getz15:27 Navigating the Mahusik Notch18:29 Style and FKT Philosophy22:00 The Challenge of Self-Supported FKTs24:56 Planning and Uncertainty in Adventure27:57 The Evolution of Trail Running Style42:22 Exploring Style in Trail Running44:16 The Debate on Supported vs. Unsupported47:43 The Evolution of Trail Running50:54 Killian Jornet: The Pinnacle of Trail Running54:43 Authenticity in Trail Running58:30 The Role of Creativity in Trail Running01:03:31 Life Lessons from Working in the HutsSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, we sit down with Justin Brown of the Prometheus Lens Podcast to tackle one of the most disturbing and misunderstood verses in the Bible:“Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”What does that actually mean?We break down the biblical, historical, and supernatural context behind Esau, birthrights, garments of skin, Nimrod, giants, Nephilim bloodlines, and the ancient seed war that runs from Genesis to Revelation.Topics include:What “God hated Esau” really means (Romans 9:13)Esau, Jacob, and the seed war of Genesis 3:15Why Esau's birth matters more than his behaviorHairy men, giants, and ancient descriptions we ignoreNimrod, the mighty hunter, and forbidden garmentsGarments of skin, priesthood, and Edenic authorityExtra-biblical texts (Jasher, Targums) that fill key gapsNephilim bloodlines and why God commanded total destructionWhy some entities seek redemption — and why others can'tAliens vs demons through a biblical lensWhy modern Christianity avoids these passagesHow this connects to end-times deception todayThis episode goes far beyond surface-level theology and dives straight into ancient law, supernatural rebellion, and why the Bible says what it says — even when it's uncomfortable.If you've ever struggled with Old Testament passages, divine judgment, or the idea of God's election — this episode is required listening.✅ Guest Socials — Justin BrownJustin Brown — Prometheus Lens PodcastPodcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/PrometheusLensYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PrometheusLensFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/PrometheusLens00:00 Ancient Acts of Dominance and Biblical Context02:47 Introduction to Nephilim Death Squad03:21 Guest Introduction: Justin Brown of Prometheus Lens Podcast03:40 Justin's Journey into History and Scripture07:29 Esau: A Complex Biblical Character07:46 Exploring the Story of Esau and His Garments08:38 The Fascination with Giants and Nephilim43:06 The Birthright Exchange and Its Implications52:04 The Curse of Cain and Lamech55:41 Esau's Birthright and Jacob's Deception01:03:09 Nimrod, Nephilim, and the Serpent Seed01:24:17 The Garments of Power and Their Legacy01:46:35 Concluding Thoughts and Future DiscussionsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nephilim-death-squad--6389018/support.☠️ Nephilim Death Squad — New episodes 5x/week.Join our Patreon for early access, bonus shows & the private Telegram hive.Subscribe on YouTube & Rumble, follow @NephilimDSquad on X/Instagram, grab merch at toplobsta.com. Questions/bookings: chroniclesnds@gmail.com — Stay dangerous.

This week on the Free Outside Podcast, I am joined by Jeff Eklund, an “ordinary Jeff” calling in from North Carolina who quickly proves he is anything but ordinary. We kick things off with a Jeff quiz show where every answer is a different Jeff, and it immediately derails into the best kind of chaos.Jeff shares his winding path into running, including randomly ripping a 3:16 at Chicago in his 40s, qualifying for Boston (and skipping it because life happened), then stepping away before coming back strong after knee replacements. He talks about what it felt like to start running again, why he refuses to accept “don't run” as a life sentence, and his current mission to break two hours in the half marathon while stalking the competition on Strava like a proper veteran.Then we shift into the second life arc, Jeff and his wife selling basically everything during COVID, moving into a 27-foot Airstream, and traveling to 47 states. We talk minimalism, Facebook Marketplace hustle, getting “pulled around” the country by life, and the underrated places that surprised him most, from Rhode Island to Arizona to the hidden gems of Nebraska.Somewhere in the middle, Jeff goes full historian and takes us deep into his obsession with Theodore Roosevelt (the strenuous life, Rough Riders lore, the teddy bear origin story, and meeting a TR impersonator in North Dakota that turns into a legit hike). We also get a side quest on Fred Harvey restaurants, Harvey Girls, and old-school American road culture, plus a list of roadside oddities that feels like a hallucination timeline from mile 20 of a marathon.We wrap with a quick masterclass in sales (relationships, listening, and handling rejection), lessons Jeff wishes he knew when he was younger, and a perfect cherry on top story about Brooks customer service, a surprise signed Scott Jurek book, and the greatest accidental Instagram mix-up of all time.If you like running, reinvention, road trips, American history tangents, and a guest who can turn one question into six stories, this one is for you.Chapters00:00 The Jeff Quiz Show Begins04:52 Jeff Eklund's Journey into Running07:49 Overcoming Challenges and Finding Motivation10:50 The Impact of Family on Running13:45 Rediscovering the Love for Running16:42 Transitioning to Life in an Airstream19:28 Selling Everything and Embracing Minimalism22:23 Exploring the Open Road and Human Connection24:56 Theodore Roosevelt: A Personal Connection26:29 Meeting the Impersonator: A Unique Encounter28:47 The Legacy of Theodore Roosevelt30:23 The Teddy Bear Origin Story31:40 The Strenuous Life Philosophy33:40 Fred Harvey and the Railroad Era37:24 The Harvey Girls: Pioneers of the West39:07 Underrated States: Personal Reflections41:34 Hidden Gems in the Midwest45:20 Exploring Unique Destinations48:13 The Art of Selling50:29 Reflections on Youth and Education55:10 Customer Service and Personal Connections01:00:18 Celebrating Ordinary HeroesSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside
