I know that many listeners of my podcast, Living a Life in Full, are athletes, and many of them are runners – from 5ks to ultras and everything else in between. I also know that a lot of my audience members are travelers – local, global, adventure – you name it. Imagine if those interests overlapped like a Vinn Diagram where that confluence would be running a marathon, on each continent, in 7 days. Impossible?

Well, no.

But how would you even manage the logistics of such a challenge?

That’s where Dr. David Kelly, MD, comes in. David is the Founder and Race Director of The Great World Race, an event in which participants attempt to complete a marathon on each of the 7 continents over a 7-day period.

It’s been said that The Great World Race not only tests the physical and mental fortitude of its participants but also promotes cultural exchange and global unity, bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds to share in the spirit of competition and cooperation.

David is a wonderful example of living his life in full, and he creates amazing experiences that have been life changing for many in their journey to living their lives in full.

What if I told you that the traits you need to get ahead are the exact opposite of what you’ve been told most of your life? What if instead, I told you that in order to be successful you need to be Weird, Selfish, Shameless, Obsessed, Nosy, Manipulative, Brutal, Reckless, and Bossy?

Well, that’s what former Google leader and top career coach, Jenny Wood recommends. Jenny counters conventional wisdom about achieving your goals, and she gives us permission to ditch our fear and chase after what we want - unapologetically. But to do so, takes courage – what Jenny calls, Wild Courage, and that’s the basis of her New York Times Bestseller Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It.

Jenny’s journey is fascinating, from rising through the ranks at a global behemoth like Google to empowering others to take bold ownership of their careers with her work and her new book.

Imagine logging 50,000 miles of solo sailing adventures, including a non-stop circumnavigation of the globe, and a 7800 km paddling journey across Canada from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Or, maybe you’re more interested in entrepreneurship and making an impact in the lives of others using technology and artificial intelligence? Or, perhaps you have a desire to be an author? If so, you’re in luck, because in this episode I’m talking with a person who has done all that, and more, the remarkable polymath, Bert terHart.

Bert’s certainly living his life in full, so much so it was hard to know where to begin our conversation. He blends exploration with science, and entrepreneurship with adventure, in a variety of unique ways. He shared how all this came about and what inspired him in his pursues. This is a not-to-be-missed episode.
