Do it scared!
When I retired early from my job in November of 2019, I knew that I would have to have some goal to work toward or I would drive myself (and my family) nuts. While hiking the Pacific Crest Trail definitely fits the bill of a goal and something I want to work toward, I knew that I’d have about three months before I set off for the trail. So…why not create a brand new podcast and record the entire first season in that time? Exactly! I thought the same thing too.
My darling wife wasn’t quite convinced that it was a good idea and she thought it would only complicate our busy winter schedule—winter hut trip, chasing our 14-year old swimmer around from pool to pool, Christmas, and a three-week stint in Puerto Vallarta.
“Pffft, it’ll be easy,” I said. No big deal!
Fast-forward three months from that conversation and we now find that the tables have turned. She’s the one who’s been rallying courage when all I want to do is hit the pause and eject button. And with that, it’s largely her fault that we’re ready to release this brand new creation out for the world to love, hate, ignore, or do what they will with. That’s outside of our control.
One Life. Live It!
The idea behind GoBucketYourself is to live an adventurous and authentic life. We’ve often said, that one of the biggest reasons that Americans in their thirties, forties, and beyond may struggle with a mid-life crisis, is though they’ve been on this planet for many decades, they still don’t really know themselves. We know because that was us. We needed the giant obstacle of Deb’s chronic illnesses to slap us straight across the face and wake us up. Once we were awake, we recognized two things: we really didn’t know ourselves all that well, and there were areas that we were spending a lot of time and money on but weren’t bringing us happiness or freedom—two things we want more in our lives!
With the One Life Live It podcast, we’re going to share the stories that helped us break free from the trappings of ordinary and inauthentic life. We’re going to share stories of people who are in all stages of making the changes they need to in order to pursue their life’s passions and dreams.
Our hope is that by doing this, we’ll add to the GoBucketYourself tribe who inspire, challenge, and motivate one another to stay committed to a life of authenticity and adventure—to be ever so grateful for this One Life we’ve each been given and take action to Live It!
