YOU Did It!!!  Listener Adventure Stories

Today we start a new segment on the show featuring folks like you and me, who got inspired to step outside of their comfort zone and took on an adventure.

While in the future, these will be shorter segments added to the regular show, I thought we'd start off with this incredible story of Sally, who thought she was heading for a wheel chair due to multiple injuries from her days as a dancer.  Instead, through training, grit, and fortitude, Sally instead headed to the North Island of New Zealand and hiked the challenging Tongariro Crossing!  Next, she'll climb Machu Picchu!  Adventure travel has COMPLETELY changed she and her husband's life!

Like Sally, it took someone (my friend John) encouranging me and who believed in me and convince me that I could, with proper training, that I too could go on an epic adventure.  It is my hope that these listener stories will inspire you, too!

COMPLETE SHOW NOTES  See all the inspirational stories as they are published!  Today's episode is a full length interview, but I will be adding shorter snips to this page in the future.
