The Cost Of Waiting
01/05/2026
The Cost Of Waiting
We all know, intellectually, that time is finite. But most of us live as if we have an endless supply of it. We tell ourselves we’ll start someday, travel someday, take the risk someday, or finally go after the thing we really want next year. But “someday” has a way of quietly turning into years, and years into decades, until one day we realize just how much we’ve delayed. In this episode, I reflect on the real cost of waiting. From the reminder that none of us are promised tomorrow, to personal moments where I waited longer than I wish I had, to the simple but powerful idea of memento mori... remember that you will die. This isn’t about fear or regret, but awareness. Because the greatest risk isn’t failure, it’s reaching the end of your life wishing you had acted when you had the chance. This episode is for anyone who’s been putting something off and needs a reminder that the best time to begin isn’t someday, it’s now.

Building A Legend
12/22/2025
Building A Legend
Stepping foot on Antarctica is one of the rarest experiences a person can have. It was also an experience that left me wondering, “Where do I even go from here?” After all, how do you follow up something that feels like the peak of adventure? But as I've been reflecting on this journey, I’ve come to realize that Antarctica wasn’t the end of anything. It was a turning point, another chapter in the ongoing story I’m writing with my life. In this episode, I share what it felt like to stand on the frozen continent, why “topping” an adventure isn’t the real goal, and how this experience has reshaped the way I think about exploration and identity. From embracing the idea of building a legend to recognizing that there’s still so much of the world left to see. These reflections are for anyone who's ever reached a milestone and wondered what comes next. This is about continuing the journey, evolving as an adventurer, and intentionally crafting the story you want to look back on decades from now.

His debut book, , breaks down the mental toughness, resilience, and intentional habits he has developed along the way. In this episode, Jason and I dive into the core idea behind his book: the real battle is won in the mind. We talk about the mindset of champions and how elite performers succeed not because of the highlights, but because of the unseen hours of discipline, consistency, and hard work. Jason shares insights from his Mental Mastery Pyramid, science-backed tools for improving thoughts and habits, and the importance of showing up every day, even when progress feels slow. We also discuss his writing journey and how small, consistent actions can turn the “impossible” into the “inevitable.” To watch the video of our conversation, head over to the All-Around Adventure !

EPIC BILL BRADLEY│Show Up And Suffer
For this episode of The All-Around Adventure Podcast, I’m joined by endurance athlete and entrepreneur, Epic Bill Bradley. Bill founded and operated a successful chain of video rental stores called Bradley Video through the 80s and 90s. However, with the rise of digital streaming services in the early 2000s, Bradley Video eventually went bankrupt. After facing significant challenges in the aftermath, Bill sought a new direction and decided to take on, and finish, a 50-mile race. An endeavor that reignited his drive and gave him a much-needed breakthrough. That experience set him on a remarkable path into the world of ultra-endurance and mountaineering. Where he went on to undertake events such as the Arrowhead Ultra 135, going up Mount Aconcagua, and numerous other extreme challenges that pushed his limits both physically and mentally. In this episode, Bill and I talk about his entrepreneurial journey and the nostalgia of the video store era. We also dive deep into his incredible endurance pursuits, the mindset it takes to keep pushing forward, and how he lives up to his slogan, "Show Up and Suffer". Bill shares how embracing suffering and showing up, day after day, can forge character and uncover your true potential.

Where Shadows Linger
Sometimes, the places we think are safest can hide the darkest secrets. And sometimes, the joy we seek can twist into something far more sinister. In this episode, I share two original horror stories perfect for the Halloween season. First, The Hollow Voices, a tense story of a young man who must face the eerie whispers of the forest when his brother mysteriously disappears. Then, Carnival of Shadows, a descent into a nightmarish carnival where survival means facing monsters that wear human faces. Both stories reflect on how fear often comes from what we can’t see, or what we don’t want to believe is real.

Moonlit Terrors
Sometimes, the things we fear most aren’t hiding in the daylight, but waiting for us when the sun goes down. And when the moon rises, the line between myth and reality starts to blur. In this episode, I share two original horror stories with a chilling werewolf theme. The first, Midnight Quarry, tells the tale of a hunter who becomes the hunted when something ancient begins stalking him in the darkness. The second, Waiting Beneath the Moonlight, follows a young couple who learns that love and danger can both take shape under a full moon. Both stories explore primal fears of the wilderness, the night, and what may be lurking just out of sight.

Why I’m Not Saving Antarctica For Last
For years, my goal has been to set foot on all seven continents. And I always imagined Antarctica would be the final stop, the grand finale. But recently, I had a shift in perspective.

And why I'm choosing to lead with what excites me most, instead of saving it for later. If you’ve been putting something off for “someday,” this one’s for you.

Gratitude In The Gambia

Gratitude In The Gambia
In this solocast, I reflect on one of the most transformative experiences of my life... my time spent in The Gambia as a Peace Corps Volunteer. During my service, I had no electricity. No running water. My toilet? A pit latrine behind my house. It was a life stripped down to the basics. And it taught me lessons that I still carry with me over a decade later. In this episode, I share how that experience shaped my perspective on gratitude, and why I believe we all need reminders to appreciate the simple things. Like waking up under a roof, drinking clean water straight from a tap, or flipping a switch and having light. If you want to live a more grounded, grateful, and adventurous life, this one’s for you.
