Ep. 1092: Andrew Todd - Flyathlons Races!

Erika Bergman is a submarine pilot, engineer, and a National Geographic Explorer. We talked with her back in episode 427 about taking Sir Richard Branson and Fabien Cousteau (grandson of famed ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau) on a submarine adventure into the depth of Belize's Great Blue Hole. The mission was successfully completed back in December and we're having her recount the adventure today! In 2013 she received a National Geographic Explorers grant for her "Classrooms Under the Sea" expedition which live-streamed submarine expeditions to classrooms. She's a superb storyteller with many interesting tales and accomplishments to share! She is also the Founder of GEECs - Global Engineering & Exploration Counselors; providing a network of thrilling engineering camps to girls around the world. aquaticasubmarines.com Instagram @aquaticasubs @theerikabergman     Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel.

We don't ever really get to talk to folks before their first big trip. Jeremiah is getting ready to do the entire Appalachian Trail in March and gave us the perspective of a first-timer who's never tackled something so big. We'll be excited to have him on after the journey is over.  Good luck, Jeremiah!    Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel.

Not everyone chooses to live a life outside the box. Sometimes, it chooses you. Five years ago, Schulting-Kranz was living her life very much within the box. She hosted parties, watched her kids play sports, paddle boarded on the gorgeous coast of California near her home when one day her husband of 17 years admits he's been unfaithful to her for the last 14 years, with a man.   Her life deteriorated in front of her eyes as she realized everything had to change. Not only was the news devastating, but it also rehashed old memories of being raped at 17 years old, which led to her first son. Sara didn't wallow in her sorrow but took the opportunity to pursue her dream to live a life connected to the outdoors and to show the healing power of nature to as many people as she possibly could.   Thus, Live Boldly Coaching was born and her story of pain has become one of strength and compassion with all sorts of adventures, like earning a Guinness World Record for leading her friend Shawn Cheshire to record the fastest rim-to-rim-to-rim run across the Grand Canyon by a blind person.  No matter where she goes, she can now be found on mountaintops all around the country wearing a glamorous pair of bright red high heel shoes. Get out there and live boldly.  www.liveboldlycoaching.com @saraschultingkranz Sara Schulting-Kranz Live Boldly - FB Biz www.walkthroughthis.com - Documentary Website   Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel.

When Adrian’s wife thought it would be a good idea to learn how to Paraglide, she probably didn’t foresee that in a relatively short amount of time, her husband would be summiting and flying solo off volcanoes near their home in Mexico City. Obviously, Adrian took to the sport quickly and it gave him a completely different view of his other favorite hobby, climbing. But with their recent family addition of a little girl and limited time off work, Adrian needed a way to summit mountains over 18,000 feet and return home in the same day. This led him to sleeping in a hypoxic chamber to decrease the amount of time needed to acclimate to high elevation.  Talk about dedication to adventure. What’s your excuse?   Adrian will also be supporting Marko Hrgetic in the Red Bull X-Alps this June. www.instagram.com/ponchoelpiloto @ponchoelpiloto http://youtube.com/ponchoelpiloto   Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel.
