Ep. 081: Story Musgrave - Space Travel

Today's Life Outside the Box episode takes us into the world of adventure coupled with academia. Scott Wyatt is the president of Southern Utah University, also known as the "University of the Parks." Being an avid mountaineer and ultrarunner himself, Scott knows the teaching power of nature and incorporates that power into every aspect of life on campus for students and faculty at SUU. This was an incredible conversation about adventure, grit, a lifetime of learning, and the healing power of the wonderful and awesome outdoors from someone leading the charge in getting college campuses to take advantage of nearby adventure.  More about Scott: https://www.suu.edu/general/president/about.html More about SUU: https://www.suu.edu/news/2016/02/university-of-the-parks.html More about the Grand to Grand Documentary: https://suunews.net/2018/12/05/running-for-hope-documentary-premie/ Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel.

Did you know that bears don't actually growl as Hollywood has you believe? In fact, in most movies, a bear growl is actually a wolf growl. Did you also know that a dog on a leash is a great bear deterrent, but a dog off its leash is a great way to have yourself a bear encounter? In this episode Mike McIntosh, of the Bear With Us Sanctuary Rehabilitation Center, helps us understand what we need to know about living with bears while playing in the wild. www.bearwithus.org info@bearwithus.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bearwithus.bears Twitter: https://twitter.com/bearwithusbears Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel.

At some point in the pursuit of our adventure sports, we will have an injury. As we get older those injuries and the slowing of our bodies can compile to limit our abilities drastically. Who are you as a person if you couldn't do your adventure sport(s) anymore? Are you willing to think about how much of your identity is wrapped in what you can achieve athletically?  Today's episode discusses the challenges and beauty that limitations can bring if we're willing to remain positive and look for opportunities to discover new passions. I hope you enjoy Bart's story about reshaping his identity and discovering new adventure sports as his body "directs" him.  B2buildingscience.com Crookedarrow28.com Poetry Book: stories he told.
