True, it's a dance we know the moves.

The bow of the dream is a cliche that may come to mind when you scroll through the Instagram

of today's guest. She's swimming with whales in crystal clear water, kayaking through icebergs with penguins in Antarctica, surfing in Indonesia.

But what that old living the dream cliche fails to convey and what Instagram is too superficial to detail is the years of hard work and the amount of ingenuity that goes into building a dream

that someone can live. Free diving with colossal whale sharks is not a possibility without having

endured the rigors of years of breathwork training and getting barreled in Indonesia isn't an option

until you've persevered frigid dawn patrols at home for probably

a decade and have bounced off the reef dozens of times. But yes, if you have passions that you

pursue doggedly and you can find a fiscally viable way to pursue those passions, then you might

be able to take a couple of photos along the way

that reflect a dream that you once had for yourself as a kid.

And if those pursuits are noble enough, you might even be able to make a meaningful difference

for individual people and animals.

And if your vision is big enough, you might actually do that for humanity and animals

on a macro scale. And so it's with that in mind that I'd like to introduce you to Brinkley Davies.

But before we get into it, I'd like to acknowledge that today's show will be void of ad breaks

thanks to Rourke. So no mid-show interruptions, just non-stop Brinkley Davies for the

duration of the show. And as a thank you to Rourke, please consider them for your holiday

gifting this season or if you're just ready to gear up for your next adventure. In fact,

actually, if you aren't already one of Brinkley's quarter of a million followers on Instagram,

follow her to see some of Rourke's women's line of clothing being put through the paces on safari in Africa,

swimming with whales in Tonga, and on expedition in Antarctica.
