The All-Around Adventure Podcast

For this episode of The All-Around Adventure Podcast, I'm joined by podcaster, writer, and archaeologist, Lauren Coontz.

Lauren's tenure as an archaeologist began when she found her way to South America to attend field school. During which she analyzed artifacts and human remains that were recovered from the Peruvian Andes. She also served in the Army and received her SCUBA diving certification while she was stationed in South Korea. Following her enlistment in the Army, she and I ended up working at the same cultural resource management company for a time. Now she hosts her own podcast, titled The Nauti Archaeologist, where she talks about different shipwrecks around the world and their cultural and historical significance.

In this episode, Lauren tells us about her time in the Army and what led her to become an archaeologist. She also talks about some of the shipwrecks that she's studied for her podcast. Furthermore, we have a fun discussion on maritime myths and legends and the mysteries that lay beneath the vast waters that cover our world!

For this episode of The All-Around Adventure Podcast, I'm joined by world-renowned Krav Maga instructor, Marcus Torgerson.

Marcus has been studying martial arts since he was only 10 years old. After trying out different styles, he eventually came across Krav Maga. An Israeli self-defense and fighting system that translates to "contact combat" in Hebrew. And he decided that this system would become the focus of his martial arts journey. This led him to Israel on numerous occasions to immerse himself in Krav Maga training and to become an instructor. Now he's traveled to many places around the world to teach people self-defense, confidence, and how to be a nightmare for bad guys. Marcus is also on a journey of both faith and sobriety. Which are also things that he seeks to help and inspire others through.

In this episode, Marcus tells us about his martial arts journey. And shares some practical and mindset tips and strategies to defend ourselves both at home and abroad. He and I also talk about time, and why we should be very deliberate in how we use this finite resource. Furthermore, we discuss faith and sobriety and how both can lead to living a free life!

There are inevitably going to be some stressful situations that will arise. Planning, financial issues, time off work, transportation delays, and human factors can all serve as travel stressors. In this solocast, I talk about how to manage stressful situations so that you can enjoy your travel experiences to the fullest.

“Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.” ~ Heraclitus. In this solocast, I talk about what I think it means to have the mindset of a warrior, rather than the mindset of a fighter.
