In this episode of the First Time Story Series I was joined by Fadi Aabidi. Fadi is an investment manager, pilot, bodybuilder, falconer, hunter, skydiver, biker, and underwater photographer who lives Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Fadi shared the story of the first time he decided to take a year off to pursue his passions. In that year, he found himself in the best shape of his life, flying fighter jets in Russia, and having multiple excursions in Africa. It's a year that seeded a decade of adventuring and continued first times and new experiences.

Fadi shared incredible stories, insights, and wisdom of how that year changed him, his priorities, and outlook on life.
