Have you ever found yourself at the crossroads of achievement and authenticity, weighed down by the pressures of perfection? Dr. Sariya Saabye joins me, Dr. John Gordon, for a heart-to-heart on her transformative leap into minimalism, rooted in the liberating practice of barefoot running. Her story is one of courage and revelation, shedding light on the struggles that accompany the pursuit of high achievement, such as the pervasive stress and the battle with disordered eating that many of us face. Sariya's personal evolution is a beacon for anyone seeking profound change, illustrating the profound shifts that occur when we align with our innate capabilities and step away from societal pressures.The quest for knowledge and the courage to challenge long-held beliefs can set us on an exhilarating path of self-improvement. My own experience with an audiobook that turned my running philosophy on its head exemplifies this transformative journey. It allowed me to realize the beauty in simplicity and the pitfalls of clinging to misinformation. Our dialogue paves the way for a deeper understanding of how remaining curious and open-minded can lead not only to our enrichment but also to the betterment of those around us. Join us as we share the pivotal moments that drive us to question our professional and personal convictions, and the joy of discovery that follows.For those ready to push the boundaries of their comfort zones, my insights from the MR340, the world's longest non-stop boat race, will resonate deeply. Adopting a minimalist leadership approach, I navigated this formidable challenge with minimal preparation, defying conventional wisdom and industry standards. Sariya and I explore the idea that greatness is not an exclusive club but a quality that lies within us all, waiting to be harnessed to conquer the 'reapers' we face.

We are blessed here at HHAUSA to have some amazing partners, one of those being the Texas based Kniestedt Foundation. Started by James Kniestedt, a veteran of United States Army Special Forces, they work with both Veterans and those currently serving to get them in to the outdoors. The missions of our two organizations are the same and the time has finally come to take things to the next level in the new year.Project Manager Joe Rhodes has organized a highly successful sporting clays fundraiser for several years in the St. Louis area. On April 29th, 2023, the Oregon Sportsman's Club in Oregon Wisconsin will host a similar shoot with all proceeds going back to the Kniestedt Foundation. Historically holding only archery events, it made sense to team up with Rhodes and his expertise to bring further awareness to both of our programs and bring a new crowd to the HHAUSA family.Joe also talks about the continued success of the hunting trips they put on each fall as well as an upcoming bison hunt in the state of Wyoming. Gifted a coveted tag from a longtime donor, female Veteran Channing Spradling hopes to harvest a buffalo in January and we are eager to hear all about that hunt.Rhodes, a full-time teacher by day, discusses the grueling MR340, a cross state endurance race on the Missouri River spanning 340 miles. Completing the journey for a third straight year and raising funds for the foundation, Joe is still waiting for a partner to volunteer to make the trek with him again next summer.One of the best parts of our conversation was when Joe talked at length about his nights on the water, giving him the ability to unpack his thoughts his thoughts in the dark solitude. Coming back a changed and better man each time, I almost felt like I was with Joe as he shared what a meaningful experience it is along with his ever growing gratitude for all those who serve. We wrap up chatting about how rewarding it is as civilians to work with the Veteran and First Responder community. I feel like I don't say it enough but it is truly a blessing to serve those who serve our country, protect our streets and keep our families safe. We owe a great debt to these men and women and are thankful for likeminded groups like the Kniestedt Foundation wanting to give back and make a difference.For more information, visit www.kniestedt.org and follow them on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.For more information about HHAUSA and how you can support our mission, visit www.hhausa.orgTo purchases HHAUSA hats, shirts, challenge coins and tumblers, visit www.hhasports.com

A surprise Birthday Party was held on the banks of the Mississippi River for Sanders less than a month after he began his Lake Itasca solo Source to Sea Mississippi River journey. He had just turned 80. He finished the paddle in the Gulf of Mexico, on August 15, 2015, all 2,345 miles in 80 days, one day for each year of life. His customer chopped We-no-nah Canoe named “AnnA” was his sole means of transportation. Sanders, also known as the Grey Beard Adventurer was recipient the acclaimed 2016 Canoe and Kayak Magazine’s Spirit of Adventure Award. A prestigious honor given to the person(s) who most inspires others to pursue outdoor adventures. His Mississippi River Source to Sea paddle was the focus of this award. After completing the Mississippi River paddle he and teammates, also in record time, successfully paddle-boarded the MR340 human powered boat race across the State of Missouri, from Kansas City, Kansas to St. Louis. On 26 October 2017 Dale completed a "Through Hiking" on the Appalachian Trail. At 82 years old he currently holds the record as the “Oldest Person” to ever hike this trail, which took him through 14 states in less than one year. Some quotes from Dale related to his Appalachian Trail Adventure: “My thanks must go to my friends, family, and faith that God was with me each and every step of the 4,625,250 taken. I had just finished hiking 2190 miles and passed by all 165,000 white blazes. Emotions were running high. Now I must dedicate this hike to my wife Meriam Sanders. I love you with all my heart. Your support was crucial. Your love for God, me and family Meriam makes all things possible. The Appalachian Trail was just one of them.
