The Next EDventure

It's has been a minute... Let us take a few of them to catch up on work, graduation, and i will get a little sentimental on this one as a coach and a Dad on the sideline...

Are you a good team member, crew member, or co-worker? Let's dive into a philosophical look on how a perspective shift can become your NextEDventure...

They say 7 is a lucky number...clearly 8 was an unlucky one for me. Well, good news is I am back, and in this episode you will get a glimpse of why i skipped a week (or two) and what is in store in upcoming episodes...

As promised, this episode will introduce you to the next EDventure, in Annapolis, MD. Thats all you are getting from me. Want more? LISTEN!!! lol

Birthdays are fun, regardless of your age. Birthday parties are even more fun, especially if it is with a group of 11-13 year olds and 5 adults. At a paintball park. With lots of paintballs. 10,000 to be exact. What ensued was one for the record books...

In this episode, lets talk (or ramble on) about this month, seasonal changes, Daylight Savings Time, Lunar cycles, WORMHOLES, frequencies, and the 13 month calendar. What does it all mean and what kind of EDventure are we getting ourselves into???

Spring has sprung and we all have a ton of things to do! Sports with the kids, hobbies, yard work, WORK, you name it, we need to get it done. Just don’t forget that I’m all of that busy-ness there is EDventure lurking! Look around and find it!

Happy Saint Patricks Day! A little longer episode talking about one of my passions… Sailing. What am I getting into now?

What a crazy week of turmoil and sorrow for so many around the world... Let's unpack how to keep a positive outlook on life, much like my new friend Ted Lasso. This week's episode is straight, un-edited talk about life and how we never know when our Edventure might end, whether we have planned it or not.

What's Up Wednesday Reboot with a bit of explanation on where I've been and what is the next Edventure. Special shout out to friends from long ago that share life with you from a distance and still hold you accountable (Bowen Jones). Thank you! 

In the hustle and bustle of all things “holiday” (Thanksgiving and Christmas) it helps to take a few moments and rest, rejuvenate, and recover. Be still… know ALL that is around you and be grateful on how blessed we truly are. Even when you’re sitting in a deer stand recording a podcast.

A quick catch up that quickly evolves into a rundown on an upcoming BSA hike (20 miler!)

At the Anchorage Marina on Boston Street, sitting on the stern and enjoying the quiet respite all while rambling on about life…

It is summertime and we are getting back to "normal", but is the past normal all that? I am not interested in getting back into the Rat Race, I am all about the human race. The Next EDventure I challenge you to complete is to go somewhere new, support local, and share it on you social media feed! Share it on The Next EDventure sites as well. Check us out on IG and FB. Like, Share, Subscribe, Comment, and Support! But even more importantly, support each other!!!

My friend shared the post: what is one life change that you made because of or during the pandemic that to want to continue on forever? Well, we will unpack this a bit and see how that factors into the Next EDventure you might be on.

When you have a few Scouts, all the s’mores fixings, a campfire, and a good friend… just sitting back and watching the logs turn into embers can be the next EDventure. And in the midst of all the chaos, you know it’s about more than just camping.

Today is a quick glimpse of what I’m up to in Rock Hall, MD: Yacht brokerage and family traditions.

This is the first episode of a midweek recap or look ahead called “What’s up Wednesdays”. I hope you like it- it’ll be short and sweet and one take. Enjoy folks! Peace and blessings

Why do we have so much stuff that makes us happy for a moment and creates work for us for YEARS after? Can simplifying your life (stuff, activities, work, things, etc.) really give you more? Marie Kondo, the Minimal Mom, Amy Tucker (Salty Britches), and your grandparents have lived life with a lot less. However, advertisements and manufacturers have convinced us we need more things to do, clean, cook with, take care of, maintain, pay for, upgrade, etc. and guess what??? Next year that phone that you HAD TO HAVE is so obsolete you should add more payments to your phone bill in order to keep up with whomever Hollywood says is the next thing… Folks: life is meant to be lived, not purchased. Let’s get into it.

This Next Edventure is going to be hard,  #75HARD to be exact. Listen in as I ponder a new season of growth within myself and see if maybe a seed or two of change has been planted in your "to do" list. As always please spread the word, like, share, comment, and support. See ya on the road.

One thing is for sure in Maryland... If you don't like that weather just wait a minute, it will change. You what else is changing this year? My attitude! I feel like this is going to be a great year full of checking boxes and getting results. It has already been great on so many levels. How so? Well I guess you will have to listen and find out.

What is it about homemade bread, fresh out of the oven that creates all of those warm and fuzzy feelings? Lets get into it together and see if The Next EDventure that you are on is actually a BREADventure... youtube: artisanbreadwithstev

In todays episode, we will dive into a tradition that has been passed down the generations even before the English settlers arrived in Maryland- Hunting. Not done now as a necessity for survival, but more as a sporting hobby in many areas. Here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland it has been a long time tradition as well as a business for many, whether directly or indirectly. From restaurants, to farmers leasing land to hunters, the other various small businesses (ie. lodging, gas stations, guide services, meat/game processing shops, grocery stores, gun shops, outdoor stores, you get the picture) all benefit in some way to the enterprise of hunting.  But that is not our focus on this episode. The Next EDventure that we are going on today is more about the memories made with my children (both young adults now, each in their own right) and enjoying the experience. Regardless on your views and how they relate to hunting and firearms, we can all agree that certain family traditions can easily become the next EDventure if you step back and enjoy the moment. Be present in THIS moment. And when you are doing that next trip, or experiencing a family tradition i hope you can take a moment and shift your perspective and if you are lucky it can be your next EDventure. Peace and Blessings, enjoy the podcast.

On this weeks episode of The Next EDventure we are going to break it down a bit more and unpack as to what direction the podcast will takes us. Both the traditional and less conventional ideas of EDventure: International and local mission and humanitarian work- check, hiking/camping/scouting- check, fishing/hunting/boating- check, food and local business spotlights- check, and all the other ideas that we haven't discussed yet. If we find it interesting and  we can make it EDventurous, then we are going to take action, break camp, and be bold in finding the Next EDventure.
