I am always thinking about the balance of relatability and inspiration on our show.

You know, we want guests that inspire you with things that no one has ever done or no one could ever do again, things like free soloing El Capiton.

But I also want to balance it with relatability, like people who do things on the weekends and have

normal lives and make adventure accessible and feel like something you can

achieve. Our guest today, Jennifer Strong McConaughey, is honestly a balance between both.

And the main thing I picked up from her story and listening to her is just an amazing balance

between professional life, being a mom, being a spouse, and being a really incredible

adventurer. It's the kind of lifestyle that I strive for where you have all these things in

place in this joy that comes out of a quote unquote normal life, but also amazing adventures

mixed in there as well. And what you're going to see is that it doesn't just come

naturally. You have to work at it. You have to plug it in. It's like, oh, I have a business

trip coming up. Can I literally paddle there or walk there or get there and do some adventure

while I'm there? Feeding adventure into life is totally doable. And Jennifer makes it sound so

effortless in a ways, other than doing

the actual adventure. It's a lot of effort. And she also does a ton of different interesting,

wild combinations of sports, like swim running and almost swim touring. And she's put all these

experiences that she's done all around the world over years and years into a book recently called Go Far, colon, how endurance sports helps you win at life.

That just sounds like it's chock full of gold nuggets of wisdom, experience, and inspiration.

So I was really inspired by this conversation.

I really enjoyed it.

And I hope you do too.

So feel free to pick up
