Hi friends. Thanks for joining us on the Adventure Sports podcast again today. Today I have

Kush Kandilwal with us, and I did my best. I don't know how close I got on that last name, Cush, but

Cush is the host of the ageless athlete podcast, but he is an adventurer of his own right.

Rock climbing, biohacking, surfing. He does worldwide travels and adventures.

And Cush, welcome to the program.

Good to be here, Kurt.

Thanks for having me.

Oh, you bet.

So one thing that I really want to dive into this show is the idea of aging as an adventure athlete.

And, of course, it's a little close to home for me. I always joke that I'm 23 years old. And the reason I think that is Cush is because I feel like that's where

my heart has been for many, many years, right? My 23rd year was probably the first year that I was

truly on my own adulting after college.

And for some reason, that age stuck.

So I always tell people I'm 23 on the inside anyway.

But the reality is I'm more than double that age now.

And I am finding that adventure sports are a little different now than they were then.

So I would love to dive in to that with you, especially because I think you're perhaps

somewhat of an expert here, the ageless athlete. I'm a learner. I'm a curious, motivated

learner on how aging hits all of us, but how we can keep doing the things we love, despite whatever.

The years may bring to us, despite the changes that happen, despite what society tells us.

And yeah, if we stay 23 inside, then we are already half of there.

That's wonderful.
