Fear is perhaps the most powerful force in our lives. It's something that we all experience, and will continue to experience, along the way. Though many of us try to avoid it, my guest today, Patrick Sweeney, explains why we need more fear in our lives. How fear can affect your body. And how you can turn fear into opportunity.

Patrick is a man who has worn many hats throughout the years. He was an Olympic level athlete, an entrepreneur who started million-dollar tech companies and is now a full-time adventurer. He is also a motivational keynote speaker who has traveled to do a TEDx talk and multiple corporate speaking events.

For more than 30 years fear had ruled over him, and it almost cost him his life when he was diagnosed with leukemia. Following his near-death experience, he made it his mission to move past his fears, live life to the fullest and help others foster courage in their lives. And he is about to release a book on this topic, titled Fear is Fuel. Which is set to be released on March 1st, 2020, and is available for pre-order.

Tune in as Patrick shares some of his amazing travel and adventure stories, and we take a deep dive into the topic of fear.

Seldomly do problems occur one at a time. More often than not, it's usually multiple problems being piled on us all at once. It can be very overwhelming, and I've experienced this first hand just days ago during my trip to Lake Tahoe and Michigan. During this time when I was facing all of these problems, I focused on three mindset strategies to help me better manage them. In this episode, I break down these three strategies and go over how you can implement them.

Today I'm joined by Stephanie Montague, creator and author of the travel blog Poppin' Smoke.

I was really looking forward to having this conversation with Stephanie. Because she had the opportunity to live in one of my personal favorite countries; Japan. Following her husband's retirement from the Army, the two of them decided to go abroad. Ultimately staying in Japan long term to be near family. While there, Stephanie had a plethora of amazing experiences. Ranging from interacting with the locals, trying unique and delicious foods, and climbing Mount Fuji.

In this episode, Stephanie tells us about her stint in Japan. Sharing some of the highlights during her time there. The challenges faced with logistics and getting integrated. And in typical All-Around Adventure fashion, some of the life lessons that she's learned as well. We also discuss tips for anyone else who may be interested in living abroad someday. This was definitely a great conversation, and I certainly enjoy going down memory lane as I listened to Stephanie's stories.

Sleep is absolutely critical for our overall health and wellness! I've noticed a very clear difference in how well I show up on days when I've had a great night's sleep, versus days that I don't. Especially when I'm traveling, and I don't fully enjoy the place that I'm visiting because I'm feeling too tired. Therefore, I've sought out ways to get better quality sleep. In this episode, I discuss 5 tips that you can implement to help you get better sleep. These are things that I've personally implemented and have found great success with, so I hope you find them beneficial. . If you'd like more tips for better sleep, I did a podcast episode a while back where I shared 5 other tips, you can listen to that here!: https://www.allaroundadventure.com/episode-08-5-tips-for-better-sleep/ .

Today I'm joined by Jeanine Romo, creator and author of the travel blog Le Wild Explorer. As well as the host of the Oh My! Travel podcast. . This was a conversation that I was really looking forward to, as Jeanine has covered a lot of ground as a traveler. She's originally from southern California and has now traveled to 38 different countries. With many of them, she had traveled to solo. . As we know, solo travel has many benefits. You can experience a new setting at your own pace, see what you want to see and do what you want to do. However, solo travel can also have its drawbacks and challenges. . In this episode, Jeanine and I take a deeper dive into this topic. As it's one that hasn't been covered very much on this podcast yet. Jeanine also shares some of her stories from her solo travels, and some of the challenges that she faced. We also discuss how facing these challenges reminds you of what it is that you're capable of. .

Today on The Blog Readings (TBR) I share a story of a time when I ventured to a remote island while working as an archaeologist. I felt as though this island was exactly where I was supposed to be. As if something primal deep within my soul was pushing its way to the surface. I think we all have those same primal tendencies to a degree, or as the title of this episode suggests, our wild selves. In this episode, I discuss this and more! . Thank you for listening!

Today on the podcast I'm joined by Jenny Watzka. Jenny is a business consultant who works with business owners to help them build their teams and streamline their workflows. .

And like me, she also earned a Master's degree in the UK. Now she travels full-time to help business owners internationally to develop internal systems, increase their productivity, and make the most of their time. She also discusses these topics with her audience through her podcast, The Fearless CEO. . In this episode, Jenny tells us about her early travel experiences. As well as how she went on to earn her degrees from foreign institutions and started her consulting business. Along with this, we also discuss ways that you can master your time and accomplish more in your life. We talk about how to set goals. How to be productive, instead of just simply being busy.

I speak from the heart in this episode of The Blog Readings (TBR) and talk about something that I heard recently. I got to attend Podcast Movement last week, and while I was there I heard someone say, "strike while the iron is hot." Basically, get started right away by implementing all of the things that I learn during the conference. Those words resonated with me, and I feel that they apply to so many other areas of life besides podcasting. In this episode, I get into this idea more in-depth. . Thank you for listening!

Today on the podcast I'm joined by Derek Baron, creator and author of the travel blog, Wandering Earl. . This was a conversation that I was looking forward to. As Derek has been traveling for a very long time! He first headed to southeast Asia in 1999 and has been traveling full-time ever since. As of the recording of this episode, he has now been to 116 countries! . In Derek's early days of traveling, things were different. As he didn't have many of the resources that are available now; such as booking sites and blogs. Therefore, he found that talking to people and asking for help was the best way to get around. This led to many opportunities for him to travel and work abroad. Including; teaching English in Thailand, working for various cruise liners, and ultimately starting his blog. . In this episode Derek shares some of his amazing stories from two decades of full-time travel. He talks about some of the amazing highlights, as well as a couple of crazy misadventures! We also discuss some of the life lessons that he's learned along the way; such as the value of talking to people and asking for help. How everyone is the same no matter where they're from. And why you should just get started with things that you want to pursue in your life. .
