The Life-Changing Magic of Living Strenuously, with Kate Kavanaugh

from Mountain & Prairie with Ed Roberson

Ed's recent interview on the excellent new podcast "GROUND WORK with Kate Kavanaugh" – This episode is a little different-- it's me being interviewed by my friend and past Mountain & Prairie podcast guest Kate Kavanaugh. If you've been listening for a while, then I'm sure you remember Kate-- she's a farmer, butcher, and all-around interesting woman who co-founded Western Daughters Butcher Shop in Denver. - Kate recently started an excellent new podcast called Ground Work, which covers a variety of interesting topics, from soil to health to books to intentional living. Kate is unbelievably smart and insightful, and there's a ton of overlap between what I'm doing with M&P and what she's doing with Ground Work, so I'd encourage you to check out all of her episodes. There's a link in the notes. - Even though I'm still confused as to why anybody would ever want to interview me, Kate did and we had a fun conversation about everything from conservation to ultra running, reading to starting a podcast. We also talk a lot about my obsession with living what Theodore Roosevelt called the Strenuous Life, and how adopting that approach to life has been life-changing for me. - And speaking of the Strenuous Life, I just launched a new section on MountainandPrairie.com devoted to The Strenuous Life and offering ways for the Mountain & Prairie community to connect and collaborate in the spirit of "Living Strenuously." Rather than try to explain it in these episode notes, I'd encourage you to click over to https://mountainandprairie.com/strenuous-life/ to learn more about all the details. - Thanks for listening. Hope you enjoy this and all of Kate's podcast episodes. And I hope you'll be able to join some of the M&P community in our commitment to living the Strenuous Life.
