When this podcast comes out I'll be knee deep in the fish-frenzied shallows of Sun Valley Idaho with a rod and reel. No promises I'll come back with dinner, but I HAVE come back with some thoughts on how living adventurously is (to me) a must for creating good adventures.

I'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Jay Worthy. He's got a great concept called 28 Summers that I look forward to sharing with you. About Jay Worthy Jay Worthy is the host of the 28 Summers podcast and co-host of the Man Alive podcast (launching Summer 2022). Jay got his start in life as an instructor teaching members to use gym equipment for free, so he could get a free membership for himself – two decades later he was the first non-US CEO of the $1 billion company that made that equipment! After an adventurous childhood, his life lost its adventurous edge. Work and other commitments quickly took priority, and his passion and desire for adventure were suppressed to make way for his growing workload and other commitments. Through a series of life-changing moments and a period of intense stress and depression in his early 40's, he knew something had to change. Today he is a Vice President in a Fortune 500 corporation with a determination to show that living a life of purpose and earning a living are not mutually exclusive. He is on a mission to prove that happiness and financial security can co-exist, and that it's time for the corporate world to recognise that grinding executives into the ground and sapping every ounce of their energy is entirely counter-intuitive to optimising their impact and leadership. Jay's 28 Summers Philosophy is that living adventurously is the key to a happy life and that getting reconnected with nature is the cure for what ails us.

This episode revisits my discussion with Danielle Wolter Nolan, who has a question for you. When was the last time you did something for the first time? In episode #42 from April 2020, Danielle and I talked about taking leaps of faith, what it means to push past what you believe is possible, and what it takes to live adventurously. Danielle and her wife, Kate Nolan, founders of DNK Presents, organize and guide empowering adventure retreats for groups and businesses. They focus on getting people to step outside their comfort zones, try something for the first time, and in turn, gain confidence through experiential learning and adventures. In 2016, they turned their story and the life changing stories of their fellow adventurers into a documentary film, titled “Live Adventurously,” which was accepted to the Heartland Film Festival. To learn more about the film, watch the trailer here. As always, feel free to reach out with questions, comments, or experiences that you might like to share with others.

Danielle Nolan is a mountain bike instructor, yoga instructor, adjunct professor, reiki practitioner, adventure guide, and mom. She runs multiple businesses with her wife Kate, including a full-service bike shop in Brown County Indiana and a women's adventure guiding organization and non-profit. Some of the topics we discuss in this episode include trail-etiquette between mountain bike riders and hikers, the importance of regularly trying something new, and the power of stepping outside of your comfort zone. We talk about life balance and that contrary to some of the messaging out there, growing your family doesn't have to mean that you can no longer experience all that you're passionate about.

In this installment, I have a heart-to-heart with Kate and Danielle Nolan of DNK Presents, Brown County Bikes, and a nonprofit called Live Adventurously that awards a backcountry weekend to 4 deserving women from a long list of nominees annually. There wasn't much of an agenda for this interview as I wanted to just allow these ladies to talk about what they are passionate about. And believe me, there's plenty. But the main thread that runs through our exchange is a focus on empowering and educating people, especially women, to embrace their sprit of adventure and self-reliance. To reconnect with themselves be immersing themselves in nature. Sound familiar? Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fisherofzen)

As owner of DNK Presents and Soulful Trail, Danielle Wolter Nolan and her wife, Kate, have organized and guided hundreds of people on adventures in the wild across America. She focuses on using nature to help individuals and groups build confidence and empowerment through adventure experiences. She is a a yoga instructor, reiki master, mountain bike instructor, and Thai Massage therapist. In this conversation we discuss: - How nature and being in the unknown positively impact the brain and our being. - Doing new things in a supportive environment, such as going on an adventure tour, then prepares us for doing more new things in our everyday life that we may not have considered had we not broken through our own barriers out in nature. - The crossroads of nature and meditation as paths to deeper connection within. - The importance of seeing ourselves AS ourselves - not in relation to everything else (beyond being a parent, partner, someone's child etc). - The benefit of engaging with Higher Self in a variety of ways and including the body if you are only ever connecting via meditation.

“When was the last time you did something for the first time? “ I heard those words for the first time in a documentary at the Heartland Film Festival entitled “Live Adventurously” featuring Kate Nolan and her wife Danielle Wolter-Nolan. Together they own and run a company called DNK Presents which takes everyday folks on the adventures of a lifetime. From couples trips to discover the dinosaur tracks in Moab Utah, to an 8 mile trek down into the South rim of the Grand Canyon into the Havasupai Indian Reservation, to a yoga retreat in Guatemala. Kate and Danielle do it all. Not only do they work for companies and retreats but they have also taken to helping others through their women’s adventure contest. This contest was the basis for the documentary that I stumbled on and cannot forget. Four women were chosen from a group of nominations for a 4 day backcountry adventure. All of the women have a story and they all finished the weekend much stronger than they started both mentally and physically. This first contest started in 2016 and has now become an annual event. The 2017 adventure is being worked into a feature film and nominations for the 2018 adventure begin on January 1st. Kate and Danielle share their top thrills, the things they WILL NOT do and adventures yet to be discovered. These two could motivate even this “set in her ways” gal to get off the couch and onto a mountain bike. Well, maybe… More info: DNKPresents.com LiveAdventurouslyfilm.com
From the desert to the jungle, Belinda Kirk has lead expeditions through some of the world’s most inhospitable places. She’s been kidnapped, suffered extremes of heat and cold, and nearly drowned - yet believes such adventures help keep her sane in a modern world that can seem increasingly sedentary and predictable. In this inspiring interview with Olly, Belinda explains the difference between ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ stress; defines ‘type 1’ versus ‘type 2’ fun; and recommends some micro-adventures all around Britain, from wild swimming in the Serpentine to sleeping in a Scottish snow-hole. To find out more about Belinda, visit belindakirk.com - and check out her non-profit organisation connecting people to adventures, explorersconnect.com.Elsewhere, vegan-at-home Ollie Peart uncovers the publishing trend for ‘Up Lit’ books, reports on a bright future for male make-up counters, and finally completes (most) of the tasks in his quest to become a true trends insider. (This includes smearing snail slime over Olly Mann’s face, which, after what he’s put him through this season, seems fair enough).Meanwhile, down the Foxhole, it’s our 50th episode feedback special, as Alix Fox revisits some memorable sex advice from our first 49 editions. There are follow-on stories from those who’ve benefited from her advice on smoking fetishes, differing sex drives, non-consensual violence, polyamorous relationships and cartoon pornography. Alix recommends a couple of books for further reading, explains how to uncover the friendly side of ‘tentacle rape’ porn, and discovers inter-gluteal penetration. Of course. If you have a question of sex for our next 50 episodes, don’t hesitate to fill in the Feedback form on our website, MODERNMANN.CO.UK.
