| 0:00.0 | Hey, folks, welcome to the Adventure Sports Podcast. I'm your host, Mason. Today we're doing |
| 0:26.8 | something a little different. We're going to have the same guest on today as we did earlier |
| 0:30.6 | in the week, Kurt Linville. If you remember or listen to that episode, Kurt is one of the former |
| 0:37.3 | hosts of this podcast, him and Travis, |
| 0:41.3 | his friend Travis Parsons, they started the show together back in 2015 and hosted it for a handful of |
| 0:47.4 | years. I was on the show a couple years into it, so like five, six years ago now, and we just |
| 0:53.8 | became fast friends. And when it came time for both |
| 0:56.6 | Kurt and Travis to leave the show, I took over. And the reason that worked out so well is because |
| 1:01.8 | they were wanting to do something more exciting, wanting to, this show had had an impact on them |
| 1:07.6 | to where they were like, all right, we're ready to take more adventurous |
| 1:11.3 | steps in our lives. And I was entering a phase of a little more structure. I was getting out |

| 1:33.9 | nature of the danger of adventure sports. |
| 1:36.1 | One of the biggest reasons we don't do adventure sports, or a lot of people never leave |
| 1:42.2 | on that trip, whether it be the Appalachian Trail, |
| 1:45.3 | uh, some sort of other high control backpacking through Europe, riding a bike across, uh, |
| 1:50.6 | the world, whatever that is for you. |
| 1:53.6 | Biggest reason is got to be fear, a fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of success |
| 1:59.9 | sometimes, uh, fear of what people think of you, fear of not being able to afford it, fear of career, you know, gaps in your career, career ending adventures. And I will say, you know, that creeps in for anything. For me today when I go to do even a weekend trip, it's like, what else could I be doing? |
| 2:18.8 | That would be more useful with this time and I have to catch myself. So we're going to be addressing |
