Stone Fences Tours (Versailles, KY) WF0062 Listeners of Whiskey Lore know I have a passion for do-it-yourself travel. Still, not everyone is like me and maybe for your first trip to Kentucky, you'd prefer to have someone take you to the state's amazing distilleries. Or maybe you want the advantage of not having to measure your fun against your ability to drive afterwards. Leaving the experience in a tour company's hands has several advantages. Join me as I chat with my friend Jerry Daniels of Stone Fences Tours about what you can expect and what to anticipate when it comes to working with a tour company. If you'd like access to the best and most up-to-date Kentucky distillery planning advice, even if you choose to go by tour company, grab a copy of Experiencing Kentucky Bourbon: Second Edition.

Topics Include: - Studying Without Bias - Becoming a Temple - Comparing Temple Practices and PatternsEsoteric Egypt, Vol 1 Online CourseJared Rubalcaba is a co-owner of Forbidden Adventure -- a Tour Company that specializes in esoteric, religious, cultural, and historical travel to destinations all over the world. Their mission is to provide meaningful and transformative experiences to the intentional traveler looking to capture knowledge, wisdom, and life-changing self-discovery. Jared also serves as a guide for some of their most frequented destinations including Peru, England, Scotland, and of course, his beloved Egypt. Jared received his Bachelor of Science in Outdoor Leadership Training; which has served as his foundation of Experience Management centered around learning and teaching others recreationally, professionally, and spiritually.  Jared has been an Instructor for Martial Arts, SCUBA, Rock Climbing, Wilderness Survival, Leadership Development Training, and a myriad of Guide experiences across the globe.  Jared's professional career has been spent working primarily with Youth in Wilderness, Residential, or State Therapeutic Programs. His passion is the healing and self-discovery that can be found in nature and discovering one's place in the cosmos. This bio should be accompanied by an image of him wearing a T-Shirt saying, “The Mountains are Calling, and I Must Go!” For Jared the connection between nature and spiritual nourishment is inseparable. As a young adult, Jared served a two-year Ecclesiastical Mission on the Kiribati (Kit-uh-bus) Islands; but his spiritual tutelage started at a much younger age and has lasted throughout his adult life—exploring various religions and scriptural texts from many sects of Christianity throughout history, Taoism, Buddhism, Indigenous creeds and rituals, Near Eastern Religions, Gnosticism, and Hermeticism. His years of religious studies have been the prelude to encountering the truths hidden in the symbols, rituals, hieroglyphs, and architecture of Egypt. For the past several years his focus has been on the oldest religious text in the world—the Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts—and has recently completed his own translation of the Pyramid of Unas. He married up to a woman entirely too good for him and together they have two deep-thinking and very funny boys.

The Digital Dreamer: Content Marketing Strategies for Building a Business While Living Your Dream Life

This is one of our Digtal Delights episodes where we talk to a business owner who shares tips to help your dream life take flight. Today, I'm talking to Captain Kurt, the man behind Epic Beer Trips. As if the promise of traveling the globe drinking beer isn't enough to entice you, I asked Kurt to share tips for anyone who might be interested in setting up a tour business. We talked about retiring early, taking time to do the things you love NOW -rather than waiting - and why he structured his business so giving back is a priority.  There is a longer version of this interview over at Power UP Your Performance, so if you want more behind the scenes from Epic Beer Trips, be sure to listen to that episode too.    Connect with Kurt and Epic Beer Trips: Captain Kurt created Epic Beer Tripsm to combine three things he enjoys: traveling the globe, drinking beer and having fun! Kurt's passions sent him to France, England, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and eventually to Scotland for an extended stay in the summer of 2019. During these trips, Kurt enjoyed the beauty of Scotland, and the other destinations in Europe. He also met some really cool people and savored many excellent craft beers! After much thought and a few beers, the idea was born to share all this goodness with others.

Thinking about booking a group tour for an upcoming vacation? There are plenty of benefits to this type of trip plus a few drawbacks. I think a big part of planning a great trip is being informed about what to expect. Today my plan is to share my view on the positives and negatives of going on a trip with a tour company. We've done group trips to Ireland, Spain, Switzerland & Austria, Scotland, Egypt, and Israel.  We recently returned from a group tour trip to Israel and Egypt and that got me thinking about all of the things I thought were great about this type of travel plus the things I don't love which may prevent me from booking another group tour in the near future.
