Podcasts about out there a story

As many of you know, David, the founder of this podcast, was an incredibly insightful man. A lot of that was gleaned from the hardships that he endured, many that were self-inflicted. He also studied Eastern religions like Buddhism which helped him acquire a better understanding of the human psyche, and pointed him toward directing his energies inward toward improving himself in order to improve the world around him. Along the way, in his memoir, Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery, he showed how he could attain a huge measure of that by showing his vulnerability, unashamedly exposing his mistakes and shortcomings, discussing the self-loathing he felt, and letting people make up their own minds about his efforts to make amends, and importantly, not harboring ill will toward them if they chose not to accept any of that. He understood that we all have done things we regret, and he was willing to accept others for who they were trying to be instead of judging them for past misdeeds.The most interesting book along those lines I have read in a while is by Nick Moore. I found his book, Who Am I?, to be a real page-turner that I tore through in two sessions. Nick grew up in Texas among racism, violence, and parents who were unfaithful to one another. On the plus side, he loved to play football, and in high school received all of the adulation that football players get in Texas, and eventually got to play for Georgia Tech and Baylor. On the other, he had a mercurial, sometimes violent father. Nick discovered that his father had been molesting his daughter and granddaughter, leading Nick to call Child Protective Services, and causing an irreparable rift in his family. Nick struggled from that point with depression, substance abuse, mistrust of his religious upbringing, and finding a good direction to his life. Nick's story takes more twists and turns than a rollercoaster as you share his bad luck, frustrations, and questionable choices. But he could eventually see how the Universe was pushing him in the right direction, even after losing his life savings – an envelope with $4000 in cash – that he'd planned to use to re-start his life in Amsterdam.Interestingly, Nick had a psychological breakthrough while experimenting with psychedelics. He now lives in Hawaii, where he learned about the love and acceptance offered by Hinduism, and found some very wise mentors. He shares his poetry with visitors on Waikiki Beach, and like David after the revelations he realized, has become a leader in teaching others about vulnerability, self-love, and compassion, and most importantly, how people think about themselves. He definitely gave me some impetus for self-reflection, so I hope you enjoy this chat, too. Nick Moorenicholasjordanmoore.comHis book "Who Am I?" is available on AmazonNicholasjordanmoore@gmail.comInstagram @nicholasjordanmoore and @papa_infiniteYouTube @nicholasjordanmooreX @NickJordanMooreTikTok NicholasJordanMooreBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram @stahlor and @coachstahlYouTube We Are Superman Podcast

After 200 episodes, the WASP is still all about the amazing legacy left to us by David. I continue to honor that legacy by hosting this podcast with inspirational and informative guest and directing his American Heroes Run. Two more legacies will continue: Gary Stotler and I have a life group for men. It will focus on fostering better mental and emotional health spaces for men whether they are recovering from addiction, alcohol abuse, eating dysfunction, or dealing with divorce or other relationship issues, family, business and financial concerns, or other everyday pressures. We will find pathways to success through better motivation and self-discipline, journaling, fitness, and more. We will have a positive and encouraging Facebook group, Zoom calls, face-to-face retreat-style meetups, and more with the option for one-on-one meetings with Gary and me. Please contact me for more info. I am also creating a proposal to fulfill David's dream to run the bases at Coors Field in Denver, the home of the Colorado Rockies, to increase awareness and raise funds to combat the serious opioid crisis in this country. It will be called On-Base Against Opioids. I mention in the podcast a couple of areas in which I have needs to pull this off.Finally, I provide a reading from David's book, "Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery" in which David wrote in brutal honesty about some of the lowest of his lows as an alcohol and drug abuser, and how he finally put his foot down to turn around his life.  It is incredibly impactful.David's books Out There, Broken Open, and Eat Sh*t and Die are available on Amazon in both print and audiobook formats.Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram @stahlor

Today’s episode is a Hodge podge of thoughts, observations, and reflection spoken from the heart. My initial intent was to discuss our country being divided but was inspired but something else. This morning I began reading Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery by David Clark. Yes, it talks about ultramarathons, which is near and dear to me, but more compelling his battle with demons, struggle, and addiction. I think deep down inside, we all want to be better human beings. However, it can be argued that we, as a culture, have lost much of our human decency. This excerpt from the book, made me think about why I run in these races, and some drivers. Wanting to be able to push yourself beyond what you believe is attainable, all while battling demons, doesn’t that help the effort in become better? David writes, “The elite athletes in mainstream sports tend to compete to find out “Who is the better person.” The ultra-world consists of mostly of runners who push themselves to the brink of failure in an effort to measure the depth of their own strength. They seek to find “What kind of person am I?” This is what we dig into today – What kind of person do we want to be and what decisions are we making to get there?

In this episode we remember David Clark, ultrarunner, dad, coach, and author of the book Out There -A Story of Ultra Recovery. David was an inspiration to thousands of runners around the world and a guest on the MTA Podcast back in 2015. Plus, Angie describes what it was like to run a 5k on the treadmill every hour for 10 hours. 

Al Kessel is a full-time narrator and voice actor who works out of his professional home recording studio in sunny Arizona. He began several successful podcasts in 2010 and is a prolific audiobook narrator and has lent his voice numerous other projects, including apps and video games. He's not all work though... let's learn more about Al Kessel. He likes to focus on the “good” stuff. Audio books weren’t where he wanted his career to go. But he loves books and always finds something appealing. He never read a book in his voice. He always created a character voice to match his imagination of the character. His audiobook career spans the time since 2013. Before that point, it was doing podcasting with his wife. He had been doing the same job for 15 years, then he was downsized out of a job. He began his voiceover journey. It got hard, but his wife encouraged him to stay with it, even when he would get discouraged. Recording audio books means sitting for very long times – hours even. But even though you are all alone, you are talking “with” someone. Not just a cold heartless microphone. He imagines himself sitting around a campfire telling stories and his listeners are spellbound. His philosophy? Every story deserves to be told. Every story. Every story also deserves to be heard. Fun comes from hanging out with his posse- collection of figurines - all around him in his studio. His cast of fun characters includes Buzz Lightyear and other fun characters. Al and his wife love DisneyLand. Tales from the Mouse House comes from a visit to DisneyLand. The second he walked through the gates, he was a kid again. Then the ideas flowed. They did the podcasts for a couple of years. They thought people would want to know of the little hidden details and interesting things to do in DisneyLand. When they stopped doing it, there were about 75,000 downloads per episode. Al says podcasting is an interesting medium. It is a great way for anyone to get their great ideas out into the world. It’s really about taking passions and monetizing them so that you can continue doing what you love. Because the key to success is doing something you are passionate about it. Your audience can always tell someone who is just reading a script to someone who is connecting with people through their passion. Everyone faces times when they want to “throw in the towel”. Al had been used to having an idea and being successful with it. The voiceover industry doesn’t work that way. As this was unfolding, Al was 49 years old. He had been at a job for a long time. People don’t want to see these things on your resume. So, they pass you by. He pulled his big boy pants on to give it his all. Al’s wife supported me with incredible grace. I knew if I could make a success of what makes me happy, we would both be happy. Al says, “This was the best choice and decision of my life.” Al’s most memorable projects are – the first one was Out There. It was the life story about a 100 mile runner. He actually chose me to read his story out of hundreds of auditions. His book portrays his struggles with various addictions. He was really broken and had a heart attack. He left the hospital and started running. It is an inspiring story. The other memorable book was by Dr. DisneyLand, Jeffrey Barnes. He wrote a couple of books. They are backgrounded in Walt Disney and the Disney parks to make his points. The non-fiction is where I get inspired and get involved. There are so many stories to be told in non-fiction form. Even the quietest mouse in the corner has a story. A good life is doing something you are passionate about, something you love doing and sharing it with someone. “When I look ahead, I would love to voice some animation and some video games. But my true love is audio books. I don’t see myself stopping this.”Post Production: Avery Russell Links: AlKessel.comAl Kessel on Audible - https://tinyurl.com/y99gheww Tales From the Mouse House Podcast-talescast.com The Wisdom of Walt https://tinyurl.com/yasmuhmx Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery https://tinyurl.com/y893csen www.kimberlyhenrie.com/the-showFB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LTGLCommunity/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/kimberlyhenrie Sponsors: Texas Media TV: http://www.txmediatv.com Making Shifts Happen http://www.makingshiftshappen.com Fruition StudioIf living your good life means doing work you love and making a difference, consider this: How can you do either, if no one knows about what you do?Marketing is what gets your work into the lives of those you serve.Fruition Studio helps entrepreneurs use marketing to connect with customers and grow.Fruition Studio offers a full spectrum of email marketing, copywriting and design services.Find free tools and more at fruitionstudio.com.

In his 20s, it seemed that David had it all. He swiftly climbed the corporate ladder and became an impressively successful businessman. However, beneath these successes David hid a dark secret: an addiction to alcohol, drugs, and food. At his lowest point, David weighed 320 pounds, he had a heart condition, 2 herniated discs, was pre-diabetic, and even eventually lost his 8 million dollar per year company.David knew that it was time for a change, so he turned himself around and found refuge in the sport of running. In 2006, he ran his first marathon and has now competed in a number of endurance competitions around the world. In the pursuit of restoring his own life David aims to help others do the same as the Ultra Endurance Ambassador for The Herren Project Runs initiative, created to help raise funds for and awareness about addiction. To raise money in another way for The Herren Project, David is even competing in an UFC match later this year.The only way David was able to come out of his addiction on the other side was because he constantly tested the limits of his own body. He found that if he was determined and driven enough, he truly could accomplish anything that he set his mind to. David continues to question what he is capable of on a daily basis and encourages others to do the same. His insight on life will leave you inspired to tackle any obstacles in your path and will make you see that you truly are capable of so much more than you ever imagined possible.

I’m obsessed with the idea that we can all do and be better. That's what this show is about — a loud and clear call to action. A graceful nudge to help anyone and everyone not just understand, but actually believe that we are all capable of so much more than we often allow ourselves to accept.Enter David Clark.It’s fun to interview the celebrated. But quite honestly there is just something far more personally gratifying about sharing the story of an anonymous, everyman hero. What truly moves and inspires me are tales of regular people with regular problems who courageously meet severe challenges head on; do something unexpected and astounding that strains the boundaries of what we imagine possible; and come out the other side transformed with life lessons that can benefit us all.Much like my conversation with Josh LaJaunie ( RRP #63 is a must listen if you haven’t already and in my top-5 most downloaded shows), this interview will move you. It will touch you. It will erase whatever obstacles and excuses you rely on that perpetuate bad habits, keep you stuck and reinforce denial. My sincere hope is that David's story will help you really get that no matter what your circumstances or environment, that you always hold the power to implement personal change that can profoundly alter the trajectory of your life — beyond your wildest imagination even.I was first introduced to David by my friend Mishka Shubaly ( another RRP fave with a shocking 5 appearances on the show ). I didn’t know anything about him, but when Mishka says he's worth investigating, I investigate.I winced at photos of a guy pushing 320 pounds, prematurely aged, red-faced and bloated, cocktail in hand. I know an alcoholic when I see one, and this image of David cut a little too close to home. A guy who looked like hell, red lining towards death without a care while wrecking havoc, destruction and woe in the lives of loved ones and anyone and who happened to cross his path.Then I saw a picture of a fit and slim 165 pound athlete crossing the finish line at insane ultra-marathons like the Leadville 100 and Badwater – a 135 mile run across Death Valley in 130-degree July heat — widely considered to be the world’s two toughest footraces.The 320+ pound guy, who looked like some kind of menacing Archie Bunker-esque uncle you’re scared to talk to bore almost no resemblance to that runner achieving things that would impress even the most accomplished marathoners. To say that I was amazed by the astounding extent to which he had seemingly transformed his life would be an understatement. My first thought was, can this be real?But when I looked closely, it was undeniable. It was indeed the same guy.I needed to know more. I needed to know how he did it. So I reached out to David and he sent me his self-published memoir, Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery*. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
