All right, everybody, welcome back to the forward podcast.

I'm your host, Lance Armstrong.

My guest today is a gentleman named Dan Butner.

Dan is somebody that has kind of come and gone a little bit in my life here last couple of years just

from folks that I know that that know him and have always said to me man this is a

dude you need to meet and sure enough boy they boy, they didn't, it didn't disappoint. When I got to spend time with Dan and hear him speak, it was, frankly, it was life changing. I mean, he his life's work is is basically exploring the world.

He actually and we'll get into it in the show. He's got quite the cycling background which is a different type of

exploring but probably the better part of the last 15 years, he's

explored parts of the world that he refers to as the blue zones.
