The Try New Things Podcast Bryan Cargill

My Dad is one week away from climbing the largest peak in Africa, Tanzania to be exact. In this episode we discuss his reason for venturing to the top of this peak, what it means to him, as well as the challenges he will have to face along the way. My Father is a world traveler with an extensive history in the military, in this episode we go into this mindset for travel, networking and parenting. I'm very excited to share this episode as I help Dad with his training and get an intimate look at his childhood, outlook on life and advice to the world.

Are you scared of heights? Many people are. In this episode I experience first-hand experience with bungee jumping, my thoughts going into it, why I'm doing this and what I think it will feel like. After I make the jump hear my first hand thoughts and witness as my outlook on life and experiences evolves. 

This past summer I had the pleasure of attending the St. Paul Rodeo. It is in the top 10 for biggest rodeos in the United States. Very fun event if you have never been to one. Emily and myself enjoyed watching people overcome huge odds by riding an animals must more powerful than themselves, the ambiance and general excitement around the events. Seeing people around the world compete on such an open stage was captivating. In this episode Emily and I discuss our thoughts going into the event while driving to St. Paul, Oregon. Enjoy some audio captured from the day and then our final thoughts wrapping up the day.  

In this episode I overcome the fear of darkness and my own mind. The loneliness and quietness of a float tank is what scares me the most. In a float tank you are alone and like the name suggests - floating. In this episode I spend 2.5 hours in a float tank without any external stimuli, sitting there with my thoughts and the lucidity of half-sleep. The combination of being in a dream and a cloud at the same time. Hear my raw emotions going into the float, my reservations and ultimately the post thoughts.

Thank you so much to Kaity Tainer for giving me insights to what to prepare for with a float tank and some of the background behind these very cool experience.
