0:00.0 | It's the end of the year and we're wrapping up Lucky Season 7. |
0:08.0 | I don't even think I've ever dated someone for seven years until I met Johnny of course. This was a huge year with a lot of wild ideas |
0:16.7 | including my biggest wild idea yet. In June I published a book and gave a TEDx talk all in the same week. It nearly crushed me, but both of these things were on my bucket list, and I'm so glad I got to cross them off. |
0:29.0 | I'm not the only one who had a major wild idea this year. We talked to more than 50 |
0:34.5 | phenomenal guests and we also heard about your wild ideas. We love hearing from |
0:39.5 | you and we'll be sharing some of those messages later in the episode. I'm Shelby Stanger and |

1:50.3 | brew this tea. |
1:51.3 | It takes quite a bit of work and so when you come back after these |
1:55.8 | self-imposed journeys of hardship you have a greater appreciation for the |
2:01.7 | quotidian things that we kind of take for granted in our day-to-day life. |
2:07.0 | Conrad also surprised us with a fun little peek into his preparations. We learned that before he leaves for an |
2:15.7 | expedition, Conrad likes to get a pedicure. I guess you gotta keep those feet supple on Everest. |
