Learn how to overcome your deepest fears, find happiness, and achieve your dream career and lifestyle with Mike Corey, Host of The BBC Travel Show and YouTube’s Fearless and Far.    Five years ago, Mike made the decision to quit his safe and secure (but boring) job to pursue his dream of making travel videos. His choice paid off and now he’s here to share how he did it so you can, too.    In this episode of Badass Digital Nomads, Mike and Kristin break down the mindset shifts required to overcome the different fears holding you back from pursuing a lifestyle beyond the mainstream.

Mike Foote is a Montana-based professional ultrarunner and ski mountaineer who is best known for his inspiring performances in 100-mile ultramarathons and multiday endurance expeditions through wild landscapes. In 2018, he set the world record for the most vertical feet climbed and skied in 24 hours-- a mind-blowing 61,200 feet. And in addition to his impressive athletic career, Mike is also a committed conservationist, serving on the board of directors of the Five Valleys Land Trust, an innovative conservation organization that serves the five valleys surrounding Missoula. - Mike grew up in Ohio and had never visited the American West until a life-changing college road trip took him to Moab, Utah. He instantly fell in love with the wide-open landscapes of the American West-- so much so that he left college in Ohio and moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. During that first year in Steamboat, Mike became obsessed with the mountains-- skiing, running, and enjoying all aspects of life in a Rocky Mountain ski town. Although the learning curve was steep, Mike loved every minute of his new life in the mountains, and he gradually became more and more obsessed with endurance sports. Fast forward to today, and Mike’s list of endurance accomplishments is astonishing-- he’s earned podium finishes at some of the world’s most notable races, including the Hardrock, UTMB, Big Horn 100, and more. - Despite all of his world-class athletic accomplishments, Mike is an amazingly down-to-earth and humble guy. We had a wonderful conversation and managed to cover a lot in a little over an hour--topics that will be impactful to runners and nonrunners alike. We started by discussing his early years in Ohio and that fateful, life-changing trip out West. We talked about his progression in endurance sports, and his transformation from complete beginner to North Face sponsored athleteto race director of The Rut Mountain Runs. We spend a lot of time talking about mental health, and Mike graciously shares some of the techniques, books, and resources that have helped him manage the inevitable ups and downs in life and sport. We also talk about his hands-on work with the Five Valleys Land Trust, and why he has chosen to be so deeply involved in conservation. And Mike is a voracious reader, so he offers up quite a few excellent recommendations throughout the conversation. - This is an excellent episode, and I can’t thank Mike enough for being so open and thoughtful throughout the entire conversation. I hope you enjoy! --- Mike Foote on Instagram The North Face The Rut Mountain Runs Five Valleys Land Trust Full Episode Notes: https://mountainandprairie.com/mike-foote/ --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 4:00 - Where Mike grew up 5:45 - What drew Mike out West 11:50 - What was Mike’s first year out West like 14:25 - When Mike first started running 15:45 When did Mike realize he had a talent for distance running 19:10 - How did Mike end up in Missoula?  21:20 - Mentality shift from ”just going running” (paraphrased) to professional, goal-oriented training?  27:35 - What drives Mike on his runs? 32:00 - Community of ultra-endurance events 35:47 - Mike getting into the race directing business 39:57 - How does Mike deal with the mental struggles when running. 46:20 - Mike’s book recommendations for setting his mind right 49:00 - The importance of having deep conversations about mental health 50:30 - Mike’s commitment to land conservation 59:00 - General book recommendations 1:02:42 - Film recommendations 1:06:00 - Parting words of wisdom --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

Have you ever thought about dropping your current vocation and selling your possessions to start fresh and start a farm? That notion certainly crossed the mind of our guest today! Joining us today is Mike “The Fit Farmer” Dickson, former natural bodybuilder and personal trainer turned farmer/homesteader. Mike and his wife Lacie sold almost everything they owned, left their 2600 sq ft house in the city, and started a new life in a 700 sq ft YURT in the country. They (and their three children) run a market garden on their homestead in North Carolina. Mike and Lacie are both passionate about living a healthy sustainable lifestyle, not just in taking care of the Earth, but also by sustaining their bodies with healthful foods, and sustaining their relationships with each other. As a mixed race farmer, Mike has a view on racism that contradicts the narrative currently being pushed by the media - Unity over divisiveness - a view he feels more people need to embrace. Join us as we discuss that as well as how Mike runs his farm, Youtube channel, and all aspects of his operation!    You’ll hear: Where Mike was and what he was doing before he became a farmer/homesteader 1:38 What Mike’s initial plans were for the property 7:32 About the main income streams from Mike’s farm right now 9:46 What a typical week on Mike’s farm looks like 10:55 What Mike offers in the CSA 15:12 How Mike’s reason/vision for his farm has changed 15:44 About the hardest thing Mike has done as a farmer 17:07 Who Mike’s mentors throughout his farming journey were 19:21 What systems Mike would put into place on his farm earlier given the opportunity to start over 20:32 How Mike divides roles on his farm 25:27 What kind of Youtube channel Mike runs 27:42 How Mike approaches the issue of racism 31:53 What went down with Mike’s trip to Polyface Farm 35:24 How society should better approach the issue of racism 43:54 The biggest mistake Mike sees newer farmers making 48:03 What advice would Mike give himself as a new farmer 52:42 Mike’s favorite farming tool 53:46 What Mike thinks about the prospect of starting a farm now 54:34 Where you can learn more about Mike, his work, and his farm 56:14   About the Guest: Known on YouTube as the Fit Farmer, Mike is a former professional natural (drug free) bodybuilder, personal fitness trainer, and nutritional coach turned farmer/homesteader. When he and his wife Lacie discovered the sad truth about our modern food system, they were inspired to begin growing food for themselves and their children right where they lived in the city. Mike explained that prior to this “I had never grown anything in my life, and when I grew something from seed to harvest it felt so empowering and I just wanted to grow more and more”. Yet as their aspirations for growing more continued they were faced with city ordinances that hindered their urban homesteading goals. So this is when they decided to leave the city. Next they sold their house, furniture and all their possessions, bought a yurt and moved to the country to start a homestead. Today, years later, their homestead produces food for their family and many of the farm customers they serve. Follow along with Mike and his family’s adventures on YouTube, where they strive to inspire, and educate others about living a healthy more connected lifestyle.

If you are listening to this and wondering who could buy your business, or if you want to buy a business yourself, this episode is for you. In this episode, you’ll hear the story of Mike Wickam, a corporate refugee who spent a few decades turning around big divisions of companies like Verizon. He acquired a ton of knowledge about how to build teams and grow sales. But after years of this, he found he was losing his positivity and becoming cynical. Mike left and started his own consulting company – at least until one of his clients, a plumbing company, was in dire straits. Then he took out an SBA loan and collateralized everything to purchase this dying company and turn it around. He managed to succeed in saving and building up the business, then exiting in year five, just as he planned. Listen to Mike’s story about how he dropped out of the corporate world, started his own business, purchased a struggling business, turned it around, then exited, retired, and finally un-retired.

I am so excited for you to hear my conversation with successful serial entrepreneur, Mike Zeller. From real estate and men’s fashion to digital marketing and sustainable home goods, he’s committed to serving others (in a variety of businesses) and sharing the shifts he makes along the way.   Always an ambitious person, Mike used to once run himself ragged to the point of near burnout. However, throughout his experiences, he came to realize that taking time off from the “hustle” is needed and now actually increases his fulfillment levels in both business and his quality of life. If you’re looking to kick up the fulfillment levels in your life, I highly recommend tuning in to hear Mike’s valuable insights and knowledge bombs.   --   Questions Asked in This Episode: What are you reading right now?

Who is Mike? Mike is my first returning podcast guest. In our first episode we talked about how to improve communication in intimate relationships, which to date is still one of the most highly downloaded episodes. Mike is the founder of a nutrient supplement company called Nano Nutra. Nano Nutra uses the bodies natural agents (liposomes) to help increase the amount of nutrients that reach our blood stream, many supplements do not use these agents thus reducing the health benefits of taking supplements.  He is an entrepreneur, master NLP practitioner and has a flexible lifestyle due to the web-based nutrients business he operates.  Why did I bring Mike onto the show? I brought Mike onto to show for sooooooo many reasons!!! First, we got to record the episode in his fully loaded RV van in Venice Beach, California. I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to do a “van episode.” Secondly, Mike’s supplement company allows him to operate his business remotely from any place that has a cell signal! I wanted to dive into this business more and talk about the lifestyle he’s been able to create for himself as a result of this.  The flexibility in his business recently allowed Mike to buy a fully functional RV van, throw some solar panels on it and spend the last 6 months travelling the west coast from one surf break to another.  Lastly, Mike set off on this journey to do some self-reflection, rediscover himself after his last relationship and to explore surf breaks on the west coast. After spending 4 days with him in Venice Beach and hearing his stories, I couldn’t help but bring him back on the show. What will you learn in this episode? - How Mike’s people pleasing impacted him personally in his last relationship and the impact this had on it  - Why he was continuously stumped when partners asked him what he liked  - How we escape from our emotional pains  - About the Ken Wilber Shadow Repression method & the importance of taking the time to connect with our feelings  - Steps to micro-dosing and psychedelics  - How we are all enough the way we are  - How to set out on your own van journey  - Resources for the van life  Contact Info Mike can be reached via facebook if you have any questions about Nano Nutra, the van life or places he travelled to. I did not list all of them but I did list the one’s he highlighted below in the notes.  Podcast Notes Time Notes - How Mike lost part of his identity in his last relationship @2:30 - How would you respond to the objection that you don’t know yourself at 31? @4:30 - Why he enjoys surfing – an example of enjoying the subtleties of life @5:25 - Partners would ask him what he likes but he never had a good answer…why? @6:30 - Mike’s realization that he’s repressed a lot of sadness – “it’s easy to get over your sadness by surrounding yourself with people” @8:00 - Being present with sadness @8:50 - The Ken Wilber Shadow Repression method and how Mike reconnected with his emotions (the hyperlink is a great step by step for anyone look to dive in further) @10:50 - “focused on feeling his emotions as opposed to running from them” @11:20 - Breakdown of micro-dosing @ 12:45 - Consciously choose not to judge his feelings as good or bad @14:20 - By going on this journey he was able to get to know himself more @16:00 - Doing one thing every day that makes Mike feel alive @18:00 - Learning to be content @20:00 - Mike’s surfing metaphor for accepting yourself the way you are @21:10 - The hardest part was being alone but made the most growth @24:15 - About the van @ 27:00 - People’s perception of him for living in a van@ 29:00 - Mike business – Nano Nutra @ 30:20 - Tim Ferriss is one of his greatest mentors @34:50 - Where Mike went on his trip @36:48 - Mike’s accessories for the trip @ 40:30 - Mike’s wild road stories @ 41:30 - Mike’s second blowout @43:30 - Journey from Venice Beach, California to Vancouver, BC @45:10 - Resources available for the Van Life @49:00 Mentioned in the Podcast Ken Wilber – Shadow Repression Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide Micro-dosing RoadTrek 170 – Mike’s van Nano Nutra – Mike’s business Thomasnet.com Alibaba Tim Ferriss – 4 Hour Work Week White Sands, New Mexico MC Yogi Big Sur, California Coos Bay, Oregon Van Life Diaries - @vanlifediaries RVtraders.com Freecampsites.net Roadtrek.com
