Listen Later

In this episode of The 10Adventures Podcast, we sit down with Brett Popplewell, author of Outsider: An Old Man, A Mountain, and the Search for a Hidden Past. Brett takes us on a journey through the fascinating life of Dag Aabye, a man who defies aging by competing in grueling endurance races well into his 70s and living a minimalist, off-the-grid lifestyle.

 

We explore Dag’s extraordinary resilience, his relentless positivity, and the philosophical drive behind his unconventional life. Brett delves into Dag’s mysterious past, from his childhood during World War II to his evolution into an extreme athlete, stuntman, and mountain man. Along the way, we discuss themes of neuroplasticity, the pursuit of meaning, and how Dag’s unique philosophy challenges societal norms about aging and comfort.
