The Bucket List Life with Kenyon Salo

“The bravest thing is just to be an individual, to not be worried about what people think of you every time you try to jump out of the box.” - Dave Cornthwaite The Bucket List Life Podcast #36 - Adventurer Dave Cornthwaite When the fire and passion that shines from within you is no longer willing to accept a life of mediocrity and the mundane, the magnificent manifestations of your life are all possible when you just “Say Yes More”! Our next guest on episode #36 of The Bucket List Life Podcast with Kenyon Salo, is an Adventurer, Author of three books, a renowned Speaker and a talented Filmmaker.  Dave Cornthwaite quit his job as a Graphic Designer at the age of 24 and just said yes to adventure and following his passion.  His journey in the past ten years has brought him to hold nine World Records and become the Founder of numerous projects involved in creating social change and awareness.  Among his recent projects and brands that include, “Say Yes More”, Project Origin and #Begin. (http://www.sayyesmore.com) As a self proclaimed Professional Nomad, Dave is Skyping in from Estes Park, CO. today and is excited about sharing his current adventures, expeditions and projects with us. Highlights of their podcast conversation: 2:00 Having just finished a project before Christmas sailing into the British Virgin Islands, Dave tells us how he woke up Christmas morning on Richard Branson’s new private island, Moskito.  5:30 Dave takes us back to when he was a graphic designer in his mid 20’s and explains what that world was like for him, how unfulfilled he was and when he realized that “we’re alive here, there must be an opportunity to live this life with passion, and fulfilment and to constantly grow.”  He goes on to explain how a longboard became the initial catalyst that completely changed his life. 11:00 Dave talks about his adventures and accomplishments on the longboard and how he is the only world record breaking longboarder that still can’t ollie or ride a halfpipe.  As a warm up he skated 900 miles across Britain and went on to skate more than 3,500 miles across the continent of Australia in 156 days to raise money for Three Kids Charities. 18:00 Dave talks about his nine world records and admits that he wasn’t really interested in being better than someone else.  His main motivation was proving to himself what he was truly capable of.  He just came to the realization that, “If I trusted myself and I kept on doing things that I really like to do, then at some point I would find a way to make a living. I think if you do what you love long enough, then the money will come.  For me, it took about ten years.” 23:00 Dave gives us all the details on the origin of the brand he’s founded, Say Yes More! (http://www.sayyesmore.com) and how it was derived from his ambitious and incredible Expedition-1000 (http://www.facebook.com/expedition1000) adventures. 31:00 Dave says there is no way, he could ever go back to the lifestyle he used to live before his adventures began and he’s come to the realization that he no longer has a need for consumerism. The greatest joys and fulfillments in life are derived from sharing life’s experiences and not things. “So many people in the western society are just consumed by this need to consume… Mass consumption is one of the biggest problems that we are facing, both individually and as a society.” 41:00 Dave shares his great gift in storytelling and tells us about how he met his amazing Australian friend and biz partner, Sebastian Terry, and his worldwide endeavour to complete 100 things on his bucket list. 48:30 Dave is really excited about his recent plans with Project Origin (http://www.sayyesmore.com) and his aim of planting 1,000,000 trees within three years, by bringing people together and showing them how powerful adventure can be. 54:30 What is something on Dave’s bucket list that he hasn’t yet done?  He’d really love to learn how to ocean surf well enough to catch a barrel.

"Adventure can be a powerful catalyst for personal change." - Toby Storie-Pugh The Bucket List Life Podcast #35 - British Explorer Toby Storie-Pugh What happens when you combine your quest for adventure and passion for exploration, with your desire to help others and affect positive change in the world? You end up living an ultimate form of The Bucket List Life! Our very first guest in 2015, on episode #35 of The Bucket List Life Podcast with Kenyon Salo is a 39 year old British Explorer based out of New York City.  Toby Storie-Pugh leads world-class expeditions that are leveraged to create sustainable social impact.  He is the Founder of a children's home and school in Kenya, called Flying Kites.  He has also founded the Kenyan Everest Expedition where he is campaigning to help the first Kenyan climber to the summit of Mt. Everest, in 2015.  And then, towards the end of 2015, Toby wants to be the first person to start walking the full length of the Congo River which will take about 12 months.  Toby is with us today to talk about all of his exciting adventures, expeditions to come and how he is able to make a significant impact helping others around the world. Highlights of their podcast conversation: 4:45 Toby tells us the story of how he started Flying Kites with his two co-founders in Nairobi, and where their desire to manifest the best children’s home and school in the world which started seven years ago. “We felt that it was our moral obligation to give the very best care that one could give, because, if you did do that you had the chance of creating an incredible generation of leaders that, because of what they had suffered, were empathetic with those that were still suffering.  We felt that was something that was still lacking in Kenya.” 12:00 Toby talks about how, looking back, he can see that even though things may have seemed devastating at the time and didn’t happen the way he planned in his early 20’s, they happened the way they needed to for him to develop his current understanding of the himself, the world and that there is so much value in struggle. 21:00 Toby compares the incredible feeling of accomplishment after summiting a formidable mountain with the feeling of helping others in his charity efforts.  He says that climbing a mountain has a finite endeavor with an end point of achievement. Whereas, building a mission, like Flying Kites, never really feels complete or finished, it’s an on going project that he hopes never ends in his lifetime. 24:15 Although, Toby has not yet summited Mt. Everest himself, he has founded an expedition to help the first Kenyan climber to summit the mountain with him in a team of six.  Toby talks about how his desire and ambition to accomplish this goal with a Kenyan representative came about in early 2012. After their initial attempt was thwarted due to a devastating and fatal avalanche in 2014, they plan to attempt a successful summit again in 2015. 36:15 Toby talks about where his aspiration to be the first person to walk the full length of the Congo River came from. He believes that the 4,700 KM will take at least 12 months and he looks forward to the challenge and sense of achievement that comes from doing something that has never been done before, such as walking from the source of the Congo river down to the sea. “You really only find out things about yourself when your backs’ against the wall and your in some kind of extremely difficult circumstance.” 55:00 What is something on Toby’s bucket list?  He would love to go to and do a reasonably  relevant masters degree at Cambridge University. 56:45 Toby would like to leave us with the final thought:  “Don’t be put off, when things become difficult.  When you feel weak, fragile, incapable or out of resources…. just accept that feeling, suck it up and find a way to move forwards.” Thank you so much Toby, for sharing your adventures, experiences and future aspirations with us all.

“When people ask me about the Pacific Crest Trail, I tell them that the trail found me, instead of me finding the trail.” - Wesley Trimble The Bucket List Life Podcast #27 - Adventure Thru-Hiker Wesley Trimble To climb the tallest mountains and hike across country is definitely a popular bucket list goal for so many. The physical challenge requires training, preparation and the mental drive and endurance to push past the inevitable pain and see the journey through. Our next guest on The Bucket List Life Podcast episode #27 with Kenyon Salo is an experienced and accomplished Thru-Hiker that began conquering mountains as a child. Wesley Trimble not only has summited 50 of Colorado’s 54 Fourteeners, he has also trekked the Colorado Trail, ran half marathons and successfully completed the 2,600+ mile Pacific Crest Trail over the course of 4 months this past summer. Amazingly he has accomplished all of these considerable physical feats with a mild case of Cerebral Palsy that he was born with. Wesley hopes to inspire others by sharing his story of overcoming his medical condition, the challenges he faced on the trail and his courage and tenacity to stay the course, putting one foot in front of the other. Highlights of their podcast conversation: 4:45 Wesley takes us way back to the beginning and explains the mild form of Cerebral Palsy that he was born with. He addresses the difficulties he experienced as a child growing up just trying to blend in and the insecurities he had about his medical condition. He grew up a member of an active and adventurous family in the mountains of Colorado. Although CP has affected him his entire life, with his parents encouragement and support, he never let it be an excuse not to seek out adventure and challenge his capabilities. 14:15 Wesley explains what his Cerebral Palsy feels like and how it limits him. He also explains how hiking long trails and huge mountains challenges him differently than a regular person. He has learned how to adapt to his medical condition, to know where his limitation are and be willing to push those limitations, but not all at once. 24:30 Wesley describes the electric excitement in the air and all the adventure that lay before him just beyond the horizon as he set out on his journey at the beginning of The Pacific Crest Trail. He takes us along on his incredible 2,600+ mile journey, his challenges and his plan to break it down into smaller intermediary goals to make it through just putting one step in front of the other. “This was the beginning of what could be one of the greatest adventures of my life!” “The trail, in some ways, teaches you as you go about who you are and about things you just don’t know until you experience them along the way.” 34:00 Wesley tells us some of the hardest challenges he faced and how he feels about what it’s like to be considered an inspiration for so many others. “When I started the hike, I just wanted to be a thru-hiker. I didn’t want to be the thru-hiker with CP…. I realized after I finished the trail that yes, I was a through hiker, but I overcome so much during my entire experience that I feel like, in some ways, it’s my obligation to give back and inspire other people.” 45:00 What is something on Wesley’s bucket list that does not have to do with hiking? He wants to have a film produced for a film festival and sit down and write a book about his experiences. 51:00 Wesley would like to leave us with the following thought: “We all have positive and negative turns in our lives, and those turns dictate what we do in life… We really need to look at them with a redemptive perspective and realize that no matter what happens, there are reasons for the negative turns and there are things we can learn.” Thank you so much Wesley, for sharing your drive, determination and conviction to go after your dreams in the face of all challenges. Your story is extremely inspiring and motivating for millions!

“If you can just follow your passion, the rest will fall in to place.” - David Concannon The Bucket List Life Podcast Episode #23 - David Concannon The life of travel, adventure and exploration is but a dream for most, let alone a paid reality. The stories and experiences of a Professional Explorer are what movies are made of, books are written about and the history of the world is conceived from. Our next guest on The Bucket List Life with Kenyon Salo, Episode #23 is a successful and well know Explorer, Adventurer and Lawyer. David Concannon has climbed the tallest mountains, rubbed elbows with astronauts and been to the depths of the ocean visiting the Titanic, discovering sunken ships and recovering the NASA Apollo Rockets. David was one of the youngest members of the Explorers Club and talks with kids around the United States about following their dreams and encouraging them that they truly can do anything they put their mind to in life. David has some great stories and adventures to share with us today about his work in exploration. Highlights in Their Conversation: 4:00 David takes us back to where he truly learned what he was capable of and his exploration days began, with Kenyon, in Camp Mowglis. After becoming a Lawyer, the General Council and one of the youngest members of The Explorers Club, his explorations, adventures and many expeditions around the world were consisted and non-stop. 8:00 Having led many small and major expeditions around the world, David has been down to see the Titanic four times and has given away his seat six times to people that he believed has earned it and deserve that. “I feel very strongly, that if we are privileged enough to have our health and have wonderful people around us that contribute to make us happy, that we should pay that forward.” 10:00 David shares with us his secret of balancing an extra-ordinary lifestyle with his humble nature. “I ask ‘WHY NOT?’ not ‘WHY?’” And this philosophy has taken him places all around the world. 12:30 David shares the incredible background story of how he became the go-to-guy to assemble and lead a team expedition to find and recover all of the NASA Apollo Rockets. 19:00 David shares one of the best pieces of advice he was ever given by one of his mentors, Sir Edmund Hillary at a luncheon in the presence of nine other household names was to “Get over yourself!” 21:00 As a natural leader, David shares his strategies in assembling teams and leading them to accomplish their expedition goals. The most important factor in a team structure is trust. His leadership philosophy is to instil in his handpicked team members the fact that “If you are not contributing on the team, you are taking away from it.” 23:30 Back to raising the NASA Apollo Rockets, David admits that he never had any doubt or fear that the mission was not possible. He always knew it could be done, that he had assembled the right team and he trusted them. So he was never afraid that the team wouldn’t succeed. The greatest challenge was not in finding one of the rockets, but identifying them when he found all of them. 29:00 David shows his own children the same lessons that he teaches to kids all around the world when he speak at various high school events. “If you can just follow your passion, the rest will fall in to place.” 32:00 Founded in 1903, based off the Jungle Book, Camp Mowglis truly is a one of a kind special place for boys to learn about camping, adventure and exploration. David shares some of his favorite memories learning what he was truly capable of climbing Mount Washington and learning to scuba dive. 35:00 David describes an expedition where they went to a depth of 16,000 feet in a Russian Mir Submersible to investigate an interesting anomaly that showed up on a sonar scan. That anomaly turned out to be a wooden wreck of a Spanish Galleon slave ship that floundered in 1810, carrying thousands of silver and gold coins and the bill of sale for slaves.
