Summary
On this show, we often hear of the over-civilized nine-to-fiver that becomes so dissatisfied with the daily grind that they give up the world of suit and ties, commutes, and water cooler chats to become a full-time adventurer.
What about those of us that find real peace and tranquility in the workplace? What if a full-time job actually led to more adventures?
Today we’re talking to Barry Kruse, someone who had the chance to be that full-time adventurer, but left it for a whitecollar career, and couldn’t be happier. Listen now to hear how his decision has not only led to an amazing life, but one filled with adventures.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, folks, welcome to the Adventure Sports podcast. |
| 0:25.2 | I'm getting this episode up a day late. |
| 0:27.0 | And also you might hear a little echo. |
| 0:28.7 | I got a new mic after almost five years of podcasting. |
| 0:32.5 | I finally got a new microphone. |
| 0:34.6 | The $50 one that I bought when I first started is finally starting to give out. |
| 0:38.8 | But, you know, hey, that $50 mic did really well. You know, podcasting is pretty cheap to get |
| 0:43.4 | into. And I love, you know me, I love a deal. Speaking of that, I had an amazing opportunity. |
| 0:48.4 | And this is the reason why the episode's coming out late, amazing opportunity to go kayak in the Everglades, Everglades |
| 0:56.3 | National Park for three days. And I just got back from that. I thought I'd have time to make |

| 1:40.7 | So there's this amazing array of animals and birds and fish on alligators, as you can |
| 1:47.3 | imagine, and just different types of landscape. It sounds like just nothing but sawgrass or |
| 1:52.2 | grass, but there is so much to it. And we went and explored the edge of the Everglades where |
| 1:59.1 | it hits the Gulf of Mexico. And what it does, it creates this |
| 2:03.5 | area called 10,000 islands, which are all these mangrove islands. Imagine taking a 15,000 piece |
