Patagonia has just launched a podcast, Patagonia Stories. In each episode,

host our Chana Rom will explore how we gather knowledge and ask questions about our relationship

to each other in the natural world. Questions like, how are lessons passed down through generations

to help us feel at home? What barriers prevent us from acquiring natural wisdom? How can we adapt

in the face for rapidly changing climate? There's so much more to come. You can find the first season

of Patagonia Stories wherever you get your podcasts.

You're listening to The Derback Daryl, a production of Duck Tape Then Beer, with additional support

from Kuat Racks because you love your bike, athletic greens, the daily drink for healthier you,

and kicking horse coffee, wake up and kick ass.

How does this thing work? It's been a couple weeks since I've turned this on.

It's been a whole new year now. How many new year everyone?

Yeah. That means it's time for the year of Big Ideas, right?

Yes. The motivational, hopeful episode that kicks off every January. I love it.

Yeah. That's great. Today you've got a story for us from a person named John Erich

about the power of saying yes. What I really like about this is it's a story about how

you know in the coming year your life could change for the better.

By saying yes to something that is outside of the box, that is new, that's scary,

that maybe even sounds bizarre. Totally. I love this story and the timing of it because

I feel like for the last couple of years all of us have imagined vividly how our lives could

change for the worse on a dime. I think it's important to remember that there are also

so many positive pivot points that you can't even imagine right now that might totally shift

your life in a positive direction. Yeah. But you got to do that by getting off your ass
