_____________________________________________

Socrates warned us to beware the barrenness of a busy life. I understand that all too well these days. If you are like me, you are so busy doing the many things you HAVE to do plus your athletic longevity efforts to live long strong, including getting good sleep, eating a good diet with enough of this and not too much of that, and getting enough high and low intensity exercise … that the days just flash by. Time is flying by. Which is the exact opposite of what I am after.

The missing ingredient, I think, is marking time with powerful memories: and for me powerful memories come of adventures that provide experiences that had such powerful emotions that my brain stored the memories very securely. These experiences mark time and give my life a sense of fullness.

This idea is why invited Brian Keane to the show for episode 148. You probably know Brian. He is famous for his epic adventures in the Sahara desert and the arctic and more.

In our chat we discuss how to pick adventures and how to up your game to prepare for them while accomplishing your health and fitness goals for life.

I have to say that Brian is amazing and my conversation with Brian has had a big impact on my thinking. My mind is now focused on returning to my roots as an adventurer. I hope Brian has a powerful effect on you too

Who said “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all”?

James is an English actor and writer.

A lot of you will recognize him from his television roles as John Paul McQueen in the Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks (2006–2008, 2012–2017, 2019–present) and his former role as Ryan Lamb in the ITV soap opera Emmerdale amongst other things.

He is also the host of the great new podcast; male mind matters which are all candid conversations with remarkable men talking about mental health and authenticity to gratitude and physical well-being.

Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:

· James emphasizes the importance of having candid conversations about mental health, especially among men.

· The podcast 'Male Mind Matters' serves as a platform for men to share their struggles and journeys.

· Vulnerability is a crucial aspect of mental health that many men find difficult to express.

· Physical health plays a significant role in improving mental well-being and self-esteem.

· James shares his personal journey of overcoming anxiety and panic attacks through fitness and self-care.

· The loneliness that can accompany fame is often overlooked, despite the public adulation.

· Fame should be a byproduct of talent and hard work, not the primary goal.

· True happiness comes from self-honesty and pursuing what genuinely fulfills you.

· Gratitude helps you appreciate the present moment.

· Acting teaches you about emotions and human connections.

· And much more.
