Recently I had the honor to connect with Kenyon Zitzka, host of the Zero Xcuses podcast. He recently joined me here on All-Around Adventure to talk about his time traveling in the U.S. Navy. We also discuss discipline and how to put the right systems in place to eliminate your excuses and work towards achieving what you want in your life. Though we also flipped the script and I was interviewed as a guest on his show as well. Where I shared some of my travel stories, as well as some tips to help you live a life of adventure and fulfillment. Today on The Blog Readings (TBR) I share that episode with you all!

Hurricane Michael recently blew through Florida's panhandle. Causing extensive damage and power outages and was overall a huge inconvenience. It also led me to postpone travel plans that I had. Though by using a certain mindset technique that I've learned, and reflecting on my experience while living in The Gambia. I was able to maintain a positive attitude through it all. In this episode of The Blog Readings (TBR) I share what that technique is. And how you can implement it into your life if you yourself are facing tough times. Thank you for listening!

Today I speak with world travelers Alfonso and Gonzalo Maestro. This episode is a milestone for The All-Around Adventure Podcast! As this is the first time that I've welcomed two guests in a single episode. It also just so happens that my guests are twin brothers! Known throughout social media as The Traveler Twins. These two started traveling at a very young age. With Paris being the first place that they traveled to together. Since then they have covered a lot of ground, both together and during their own solo ventures. Including places like Morocco, Israel, Egypt, the United States, and much more. In this episode these two share some of their travel stories. Including some rather sketchy situations that they have faced along the way. Also, in typical All-Around Adventure fashion, we dive into some important life lessons that they've learned as well. This was definitely a great conversation, and I certainly enjoyed the challenge of interviewing two guests in a single episode. And I hope you all like this one!

My guest today is entrepreneur and shooter, Ryan Kilpatrick, also known as Embrace The Recoil on Instagram. I first met Ryan about a year ago when he and I took a concealed pistol course taught by Kawa Mawlayee. If you've been listening to this podcast for a while you might remember that Kawa was the first guest to appear on the podcast. During the course Ryan gave me some insight into this incredible journey that he once took. Where he spent months traversing around the United States in an RV. Now he joins me to tell his story more in-depth In this episode he shares some of the highlights from his journey, a few of which are places that I've been to as well. We also discuss some valuable life lessons that he's learned along the way; including why you should value experiences instead of things, how to create freedom of time, and why you should regret doing things rather than regret not doing things. This was definitely a great conversation, one that I've found very valuable, and I know you all will too!

In this episode of The Blog Readings (TBR) I read one of my earlier blog posts. The story that I share in this post is one that I reflect on from time to time. Especially whenever I'm faced with a difficult situation. Because this story is about an unfortunate event that happened to my host family in The Gambia during my Peace Corps. Though despite what had happened, they remained strong. And their strength made me stronger as well. Listened to what happened in this awesome episode!

Today I speak with Kenyon Zitzka, Navy Veteran and host of the Zero Xcuses podcast. This was a conversation that I was looking forward to, as I always like to speak with fellow Veterans and here about their service. After two decades in the Navy, Kenyon has had the opportunity to sail all around the world. And has been to Southeast Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and much more. He has also grown tremendously as a person along the way. Now drawing near his retirement, he has shifted gears a little bit and has found other ways to continue to serve. Including creating and hosting the Zero Xcuses podcast and starting the Infinite Results Mastermind. Both geared towards helping men build discipline, have accountability, and eliminate excuses. In this episode Kenyon tells us about his military service. Talking about some of his ports of call, living aboard the ship, and the life lessons that he's learned. We also discuss how you can build a solid foundation through discipline. Why people make excuses for not pursuing the things that they want to achieve in their life. And how to put the right systems in place so you can eliminate these excuses. This was definitely a powerful conversation and one that I've found very valuable, and I know you all will too!

Today I chat with Amanda Johnson, creator and author of the travel blog, Kid on the Road. The topic of family travel has not come up very much yet on the podcast. So I was looking forward to speaking with Amanda and hearing about her experience thus far. And I was intrigued to find out that where as many, if not most, couples will choose to travel less after having a child. Both her and her husband felt that it was time to travel more once they learned that they were expecting their son.  Shortly following the birth of their son, the three of them left the bustling streets of New York City to explore Southeast Asia for two and a half months. Visiting countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Bali. Though as amazing as these places are, traveling to them with a young child came with a unique set of challenges. In this episode Amanda discusses some of these challenges and how her and her husband overcame them. As well as other tips and inspiration for parents who have a desire to travel with their kids. Including the best modes of transportation, lodging choices, and how to deal with apprehensive friends and family members. Along with this she also talks about some of the life lessons that she as learned. And the life lessons that she wants to teach her son as he gets older and they continue to travel more.
