Summary
Originally Published February 15, 2018
Some of are introduced to adventure sports shortly after figuring out how to walk. Some of us found ourselves eyeballs deep in our adventure passions as teenagers and, for others, it takes until their forties or later to discover the pure enjoyment we have all come to know and love no matter what age we were when it happened. And that is a great thing.
It's not crucial that we all see the light so early in life. What is important is that we eventually find ourselves living and dreaming as adventurers. Scott Newman spends time with Curt re-living his discovery and a new passion for hiking and backpacking on today's show.
Can you relate to Scott's story? If so, we would love to hear your story!

| 0:15.1 | It was cold. It was easy 20, 25 below zero. |
| 0:18.8 | And at that point, you know, we came over the top and all of a sudden |
| 0:21.9 | the wind changed. And the wind started to gust and swirl in our direction. When you're out |
| 0:27.4 | there, there isn't a way to get to any shelter. There is no going back. |
| 0:35.7 | This is the Adventure Sports Podcast. |
| 0:38.5 | Trying to help you find adventure every day in any stage of life, |
| 0:42.0 | you're going to hear from explorers, adventures, business owners, |
| 0:46.4 | and anyone living their life a little more out of the box than usual. You know, a lot of us have had the advantage of being able to discover the outdoors, adventure, national parks, running, biking, whatever it is for you. |
| 1:07.4 | We've been able to do it from a young age. You know. We had parents that are into it or aunts or uncles or |
| 1:12.2 | grandparents. I was introduced to the outdoors through hunting and fishing early on down in Florida |
| 1:19.4 | and then moved into more of the adventure sports. But for a lot of us, you know, we've never had |
| 1:25.9 | that opportunity and it can seem really daunting. We walk into a store, we walk into a lot of us, you know, we've never had that opportunity and it can seem really daunting. |
| 1:28.6 | We walk into a store, we walk into a group of people who know what they're doing. It can be intimidating. But today we're talking to somebody, Scott Newman, who didn't get into adventure sports until his 40s. And this episode's from a few years back and Kurt's doing the interview. And I just want to say if you're out there and you've never done something and you feel like, |
| 1:46.8 | you know, your quote time has passed, I want to say, no, it absolutely hasn't. |
| 1:52.0 | You know, I've met a lot of people who didn't even start until their 60s or 70s even. |
| 1:56.7 | And now they are doing things that even people that are career adventures haven't even done. |
| 2:03.1 | And so if you're out there and you feel like you're behind, I just want to encourage you and say, |
| 2:07.4 | you're not. |
| 2:08.6 | This is a world that does not require lifelong commitment. |
