A wonderful conversation with Joe from Wise Athletes Podcast.. This was a great conversation around aging well as an athlete; so I hope it helps those who need it.  You can subscribe to the Wise Athletes podcast here:  https://www.wiseathletes.com/ _____________________________________________ Socrates warned us to beware the barrenness of a busy life. I understand that all too well these days. If you are like me, you are so busy doing the many things you HAVE to do plus your athletic longevity efforts to live long strong, including getting good sleep, eating a good diet with enough of this and not too much of that, and getting enough high and low intensity exercise … that the days just flash by.  Time is flying by.  Which is the exact opposite of what I am after.  The missing ingredient, I think, is marking time with powerful memories:  and for me powerful memories come of adventures that provide experiences that had such powerful emotions that my brain stored the memories very securely. These experiences mark time and give my life a sense of fullness.  This idea is why invited Brian Keane to the show for episode 148.  You probably know Brian. He is famous for his epic adventures in the Sahara desert and the arctic and more.  In our chat we discuss how to pick adventures and how to up your game to prepare for them while accomplishing your health and fitness goals for life.  I have to say that Brian is amazing and my conversation with Brian has had a big impact on my thinking. My mind is now  focused on returning to my roots as an adventurer. I hope Brian has a powerful effect on you too Who said “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all”?
