Make Time your Friend
Panic less, enjoy more - treat time well and it will treat you well.
Humans have a difficult relationship with time.
It is the medium that gives us all the experiences that make life so great. It also ages us and ultimately robs us of everything we ever have and ever loved.
We cover:
How to think differently about time itself
Learn how to be less frustrated by things we can't control
Questions to diagnose your relationship with time
Experience deeper awareness
Life is short but we can be the pilot of our experiences or dragged along in a rush feeling crushed by the weight of everything.
This episode should help reduce the storm and increase the calm.

How to Have Adventure on Any Budget w/ Alastair Humphreys
National Geographic Adventurer of the Year uncovers how to culture a mindset for adventure without breaking the bank.
Alastair Humphreys is the author of my all-time favourite books on the topic of adventure and getting more out of life.
He spent 4 years cycling around the world, and has rowed the Atlantic, ran the Marathon de Sables, and walked across India amongst numerous other adventures.
Perhaps his greatest success, however, is pioneering the concept of micro-adventures, encouraging anyone to experience the outdoors and thrillseeking within an hour of their doorstep.
