I recently had the honor to be interviewed for the Warrior Soul podcast with host Chris Albert! Not too long ago Chris was a guest on The All-Around Adventure Podcast, and he welcomed me on his show as well. It was a fun and interesting interview! I was asked about my early days in the Marine Corps. I also talked about some of the low points that I hit during my service, and how I worked to redeem myself. As well as my time in The Gambia as a Peace Corps volunteer, and my career as an archaeologist.

I also talked about my upcoming expedition to South America in June that I've dubbed Operation: Dual Trek. Where I'll be walking the length of both Paraguay and Uruguay to raise money for American Veterans Archaeological Recovery (AVAR). A non-profit organization that is on a mission to help Veterans through field archaeology.

In this edition of The Blog Readings, I share the interview with you all! And many thanks to Chris for welcoming me on his show and allowing me to share it, and for supporting Operation: Dual Trek!

We have so much to be grateful for in our lives. Though in this day and age, it can be easy for many of us to forget that. In this episode of Wisdom Wednesday, I talk about why it's important to reflect on what we have to be grateful for and how you can practice gratitude in your own life.

In this day and age, we can deliberately avoid challenges if we want to. But when we seek comfort, I feel that to a degree we're doing ourselves a disservice. Because we'll be less capable of dealing with the inevitable challenges that life throws at us. Today on the podcast, my guest, Michael Bulloch, talks about the value of getting out of your comfort zone and what you can gain when you seek out suffering.

Michael is the founder of Man of Mastery, a brand through which he helps others achieve elite life performance. One of the ways in which he does this is through the Man of Mastery podcast. Where he talks with a wide array of guests to discuss various self-development topics. I was recently a guest on his podcast and joined him for episode 040, where I talked about my adventures and Operation: Dual Trek.

Though Michael's story goes deeper than that. Around his 30th birthday, he set off to do a seven-month backpacking trip around the world. Visiting multiple countries across six countries. And the experiences that he had throughout his world tour instilled many life lessons. With some of the most notable being ones that he gained when he got out of his comfort zone.

However, shortly after this adventure, Michael suffered a severe back injury. And after a long and drawn-out recovery process, he made a full recovery and now seeks out intense physical challenges; including Spartan Races, SEALFit events, and more. In this episode, Michael shares more of his story, and we discuss what drives him and so many other people to travel and seek out suffering in various endurance events. As well as what people can gain from doing so.

Anything and everything that we want to achieve in our lives will come at a cost. The cost may be monetary, or it can be our time or some other compromise. So we must ask ourselves if we're willing to pay the price in order to achieve what we want. In this episode of Wisdom Wednesday, I talk about this and why you should be willing to pay the price for what you want.

Not too long ago I was interviewed for the Man of Mastery podcast with host Michael Bulloch! This was a fun and interesting interview! I was asked about my early days as a traveler. Beginning with my two-week study abroad to Japan, and moving on to the times when I lived as an expatriate in The Gambia and in England. I also talked about my upcoming expedition to South America in June that I've dubbed Operation: Dual Trek. Where I'll be walking the length of both Paraguay and Uruguay to raise money for American Veterans Archaeological Recovery (AVAR).

The topic of this episode of Wisdom Wednesday was a bit of an interesting one for me. I'm introverted by nature, so talking about building strong relationships was something that I didn't think I'd be talking about. However, throughout my journey as a podcaster, I've found tremendous value in connecting with others. And as a result, I've grown significantly as a person.

So today I want to talk about why you should seek to build strong relationships with others in your own life. And how to go about cultivating them!

Darkness has a way of creeping into our lives, and when it does it's imperative that we maintain a positive mindset in order to find our way out of it. Today on the podcast, my guest Kamelia Britton joins me for the second time to talk about how she sought to do this in her own life. When her travel adventures came to a screeching halt after she was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer.

Kamelia is the founder of The Hackerette, a travel blog through which she shares tips for travel hacking, how to grow your brand, travel destinations, and much more. I had the opportunity to welcome her on the podcast nearly two years ago when she joined me to talk about travel hacking. Since then, she's seen significant growth in her brand and has been able to pursue travel blogging full-time. All while continuing to explore the world and visit new and exciting places!

However, on a fateful day in July of last year, Kamelia received some shocking news. News that would turn her life upside down. She was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, an unusual form of breast cancer that doesn't have any of the receptors that are commonly found, making it rare. Despite receiving this terrible news, and the hardships that were involved with balancing treatment and everyday life. Kamelia sought to seek positive outcomes and to be a source of inspiration to others who might be struggling with challenges in their own lives.

Kamelia also learned different health and wellness practices that she's implemented into her life. Which she's now sharing in her blog, and she's also looking to host wellness retreats in the future. In this episode, Kamelia tells us more of her story, and we discuss some of the things that she's learned throughout this ordeal. We also talk about how to foster a strong mindset, and of course, a little bit of travel! This was an awesome conversation and a story that I found very inspiring. Because not only did Kamelia survive this fight with cancer, she thrived!

💣 YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS.⁣⁣ 💣 Your mindset will help you or hurt you. Your choice.⁣⁣⁣ 💣 There is always something to be grateful for. Find it & love it.⁣⁣⁣ 💣 Time is free, but also priceless. Live accordingly. ⁣⁣⁣

Fear is one of the most powerful forces in our lives and it's something that we all experience. Though when we succumb to fear, amazing opportunities can pass us by, which can lead to regret. Personally, I fear regret more than most other fears that I have. In this episode of Wisdom Wednesday, I talk about why we should face our fears in the present so that we don't have to face regret down the line.

Recently, I was telling someone about my time in The Gambia as a Peace Corps Volunteer. A lot happened during my two years of living there, especially challenging situations. These really helped me to gain some perspective. And to become more grateful for the life that I live here in the United States. Having this conversation made me think about a particularly challenging situation that I encountered there. I wrote a blog post about this situation, which I'd like to share in this episode of The Blog Readings (TBR). And it was a time when a fire threatened my village.
