Podcast appearances and mentions of nancy sathre vogel

Today my guest is Nancy Sathre-Vogel. This woman is a legend. An inspiration. I remember where I was when I first heard about this woman -- when she and her family first came across my radar screen. It was about ten years ago -- and I was trying to figure out my life -- which I guess is a theme. And I heard that this family had just completed a bike ride from Alaska to Argentina. I heard that and I was like, man, I can do anything. Like, seriously. It was a big moment for me. And I figured if Nancy and her family could do that, I could design any kind of life I'd like too. After 21 years in a classroom teaching other people's kids, Nancy Sathre-Vogel decided to throw caution to the wind and head out with her own children. Together with her husband and 8 – year-old twin sons, she spent a year biking around the USA and Mexico. Flushed with success from that experience, the family decided they wanted more – which lead to a jaunt from Alaska to Argentina. After cycling 17,285 miles through 15 countries in 33 months, the boys had earned the distinction of being the youngest people to cycle the length of the Americas. Nancy and her family made their home in Boise, Idaho after their adventures where they enjoyed the simple things in life – like turning a handle and having water magically appear. They continued with their atypical education until entering university in 2016. Now, Nancy owns her own small metalsmithing business, making and selling jewelry made from recycled copper. After being online friends for a while -- a few years ago I got to finally meet Nancy in person. I was in Boise on business and got to hang out with Nancy at one of those community events where artisans set up. What I appreciated about the interview: Nancy is clearly a high capacity person who could be successful in multiple paths. She chose family and adventure over career. She's 59 and has no regrets. She did not maximize her “earning potential” or feel like she needed to fulfill society's expectations. She chose a different path. It was good for me to hear, at 59, that she still does not regret this. This is an important message for me. I am asking, “Should I be spending more time on my career? Will I regret not doing so?” Nancy seems to think no. I loved her push back to the idea that bigger is better -- that we need to follow-up doing something amazing with doing something more amazing. After she finished riding her bike from Alaska to Argentina, she didn't go on a bigger bike ride. She went to Boise and started making jewelry. She was able to call herself a success at different times in life while doing different things as her definition of success changed. Her children were born, her father died, and her mother was diagnosed with cancer all within a very short period of time. This seems to have had a huge impact on her and how she arranged her life.

What does it take to cycle from Alaska to Argentina with your husband and twin ten year old boys? Well this is exactly what I chat about with Nancy Sathre-Vogel. I learnt it takes over 27,000 kilometres (over 17,000 miles), 1,018 days, and 15 countries. It takes pushing through snowstorms and waking at 3am to ride through the desert before the sun becomes unbearable. But more importantly, it takes the desire to want to do something different, the motivation to change, the willingness to fail, and the courage to live a life that you want to live. Nancy and I do talk about her family adventures, the countries she visited and schooling her boys on the road. However, we also dive into the challenges of finding your passion, the difficulties in doing something that is different to how you were raised, and the craziness in not trying. Nancy has a beautiful outlook on life where she lives each day while staying focussed on the bigger picture. I hope you enjoy x www.liveimmediately.com

Nancy Sathre-Vogel and her husband were career teachers when her two 10 year old boys came up with a plan. The family had always done bike rides together and even long bike rides but nothing like this cycling journey. They were on the pursuit of a cycling adventure and a modern day exploration of cultures and countries. This was their motto: "What would you do if you were not afraid?" - Nancy Sathre-Vogel: Author, Cyclist, Teacher and Mother. The family put a plan together for them to sell everything they owned, rent out their house and ride their bikes from Prudhoe Bay Alaska to the southern tip of Argentina, 17,285 miles. They were hoping to do it in 2 1/2 years, it took them 3. They camped most of the nights and also relied on friends and strangers for shelter and food. This conversation is unique for a few different reasons compared to most of my other guests because Nancy and her family had a definitive end point. The tip of Argentina. This dramatically changed the conversation when we discuss this part of the journey. In this episode we cover… Bear attacks. Logistically how does a family of 4 bike 17,000 miles. What was it like pedaling out on that first morning. What was she most afraid of? How did they plan to eat, sleep and have enough water. The kindness of strangers after their water filtration pump breaks. Homeschooling from the road. The emotional ending of the trip in Argentina. Their tough decision literally of 'now what'. What does a family do with an infinite number of options? Getting back into a normal life in Utah. How did the boys, now 13 years old, handling getting back to a normal routine? Nancy Sathre-Vogel has written a book about their journey titled, Changing Gears: A Family Odyssey to the End of the World.
