Welcome to the Latitude Adjustment and Aging Heroes
Podcast, where midlife isn't a crisis, it's your call to
adventure. Hosted by Randolph and Erica
Harrison, co-authors of the award-winning A Guide for Aging
Heroes, this show flips the script on aging with bold
stories, real talk, and challenges that dare you to live
louder. Randolph is a celebrated
(00:26):
educator, Gallup strengths coach, and former therapist with
a passion for growth and grit. Erica is a world travelling
photographer, Wellness leader, union life coach, and creative
force, bringing beauty, heart, and fierce clarity to every
episode. Together, they're here to spark
your second act, and your day one starts now.
(00:49):
Picture this. You are leaning against a palm
tree on 1/2. Waxed beach chair, barefoot in
yesterday's clothes. Watching Pelicans dive like.
They've got a purpose you. Haven't quite figured out yet
salts in your hair. The past is in your rear.
View, but your soul it's stuck at a.
(01:10):
Fork in the road with a flat tire and a head.
Full of what ifs. It's that in between place, the
not quite who you were, not quite who you're becoming zone.
And let me tell you, it's not a tour stop.
This is where the real stuff happens.
It is. Not the perfect blow up.
(01:32):
Nope. The soul deep ash stained.
I didn't know I could feel this alive kind of transformation.
And yeah. It hurts like hell.
But you know what? Pain isn't punished, it's
permission. Put it on a T-shirt.
Baby, that's right. Hey.
(01:52):
You want to share a? Story about how.
Fire can clear the brush for something wild and wonderful.
To grow. Yeah, sure.
Let's do it. OK, a few years back I was done
with riding motorcycles. For way over a decade
motorcycles were my freedom. It was 2 wheel therapy.
Absolute truth. But one too many spills left me
(02:17):
broken. Physically, mentally,
spiritually. But before the accident, yeah,
baby, I was the professor. That's right.
That was your biker name? I loved it.
I was rattling down the southernback roads on a bike named Nora.
The professor in Nora. She was a Harley Softail classic
(02:38):
with a heart and a whole lot of attitude.
Do I? Need to be jealous here.
Hey, she was pretty cute. Eventually I had to retire,
which was like retiring one of your hands.
Totally true. And I got a bike that I call
Sugar. Sugar was a sleek Triumph
(02:59):
America, and she looks sweet. That's why I call her Sugar.
I'm all about a triumph. She rode hard and literally
tried to kill me twice. Damn.
That's quite a lady. So after the accident I
continued to ride for a while, but I got no joy from it, so I
(03:20):
eventually parked the dream and said goodbye to riding.
Bye. Yeah, I figured my biker days
were behind me until a couple ofyears ago when Erica and I just
stopped in to look at the Indiandealership in Charlotte.
I remember that day. Like it was yesterday, Rusty,
(03:41):
you were circling. Around an Indian.
Scout Bobber like a. And in love and in denial at the
same time. True enough.
Baby, you didn't want to ride. It you.
Didn't want to find yourself wanting it, but I remember there
was this point where. I saw that old spark.
(04:02):
Flicker in your eyes. Let me tell you all when.
Rusty's spirit stirs it's. A completely unstoppable force.
I was terrified. Aw, I wasn't scared of the bike,
but I was really scared of what getting back on would mean.
(04:23):
Facing that fear, feeling that fire, risking myself again for
something that used to define me.
But I remembered what we wrote in Aging Heroes before the
Phoenix Rises. It has to burn.
So I bought the damn bike. I rode her white knuckle from
Charlotte to Morganton, following Erica's tail lights
(04:47):
the whole way like a lovesick teenager chasing his shot at
redemption. Oh.
I think you do that every day. I'm still chasing you like a
lovesick teenager. By the time we hit the city
limits, though, I wasn't scared anymore.
I was grinning like a fool and naming my new ride Rica, the
woman who handed me back my wings.
(05:10):
I love that. So that's what fire does.
It strips away what? Doesn't serve you.
Burns down the. Old rolls the outdated.
Masks. The lies you told to keep the
peace. It hurts, but it also heals,
right? Yeah, and we've all got a fire
(05:31):
story. We do.
The one that scorched us clean. The mistake, the diagnosis, the
breakup, the burnout. Or maybe, maybe it wasn't even
dramatic. Maybe it was just that slow,
creeping ache that said this ain't it.
But here's the truth, You Beautiful.
Aging heroes, you didn't lose. Yourself.
You left what no longer fits now.
(05:55):
You're that? Phoenix standing barefoot in the
ash, wondering if there's anything left.
Well, there is. And it's wild and free and
worthy of the next. Chapter.
Nice. Well, I think it's time Aging
Heroes challenge #1. Let's.
Give them a challenge. Rise through your pain this
(06:17):
week. Do something radical.
Name your fire. Not the polite version, not the
excuse. The real burn the I'm done
pretending flame that's been waiting to be spoken out loud.
Ask yourself, what art? Of me is gasping for air.
What outdated? Role have I been dragging around
(06:39):
out of guilt or habit? And what pain have I been hiding
behind a mask of? Busy or.
Fine, take that list and write it on a cocktail napkin or.
Whatever you've got. Handy, you can whisper it into
the. Sea breeze if.
You want hell tattoo? It if you're brave, but get it
out. Not to.
(07:00):
Fix it just to face it. Because this is not A to do list
baby. No.
This is a torch. Let it burn.
Let it burn the idea that you have to be who you used to be.
Let it burn the shame that came with staying too long in the
wrong story, and let it burn themyth that says you're too late.
(07:24):
Oh, I'm feeling the burn. You are not too late.
You are right on time. Island time, yeah, but still
right on time. And don't panic everybody if it
feels messy. You're not lost, you're just not
performing anymore. This is.
Clarity in disguise. So after my big accident I woke
(07:45):
up in the hospital with a brokenback.
Oh damn. A bunch of broken ribs, a
punctured lung, and complete confusion.
Yeah, that day sucked. That seems like an
understatement, right? Yes, but I survived and 10 years
later I bought another bike anyway.
(08:06):
Because the fire doesn't kill you, it tempers you.
We're telling you this because. We believe in your.
Becoming not your perfection, you're becoming.
This is the. Wilderness of who you're meant
to be. And it doesn't come with a map,
it comes with five and freedom. Well said.
(08:31):
Here is a little segment recap. I'd love a recap.
Number one transformation isn't tidy.
It's ash streaked and soul deep.#2 you didn't lose.
The old you. You just outgrew.
It #3 Fire isn't destruction, it's rebirth.
And #4 you don't need answers. You need courage to face the.
(08:54):
Flame coming up next Captain your day you've stood in the
ashes you've named the fire now it's time to stop drifting and
start driving in our next segment we'll.
Show you how to take the wheel of your day with swagger.
And intention. No spreadsheets, no shame, Just.
(09:16):
Your heartbeat. As a compass.
Because if you. Don't captain your ship.
Your distractions will. And trust me, they don't even
know how to swim. So stick around, we are just
getting warmed up. All right, aging heroes.
(09:44):
U based your fire. You've stood in the ashes of
what no longer fits, and now thebig question hits.
Oh, what's next? You move, baby, but not like a
hamster on crack. You move intentionally because
you've got this shiny new clarity.
(10:05):
But if you let the wrong rhythm drive your day, that clarity
gone like a paper umbrella and abeach wind.
This is where we. Learn to captain the day, not
manage it not. Suffer through it.
Captain it, Yes, Because if you don't.
Steer your soul ship. Guess what?
(10:27):
Your. Inbox will your notifications.
Will your shoulds will. And they don't even have a
compass. Let me tell you, for years my
mornings were pure chaos. Oh yeah, e-mail schedules.
Everybody's emergencies. Think of how many people.
(10:48):
Like that's their day-to-day. I'm sure that's true.
Yeah. My feet hit the floor in the
morning. Bam.
I was on call before I could even take a full breath.
I convinced myself that I didn'thave time for a ritual, but I
was wrong. I didn't have time to not have
one because when I skipped the silence, I forgot who I was.
(11:09):
I remember that version of. You you were super busy, but.
You just didn't seem lit up inside anymore.
Exactly. I was everybody's teacher,
everybody's sounding board, but I couldn't hear my own damn
thoughts. Then came this shift.
I started waking up early, before the world wanted me.
(11:31):
No emails, no noise, just breath.
My favorite YouTube sailing channel and a cup of coffee that
didn't ask anything of. I did that for 10 minutes,
sometimes 20. And the point wasn't perfection,
it was just being present. I get goosebumps when I hear you
sharing that and it actually reminds me of a.
(11:54):
Story. That I have that has similar
bones but maybe different island.
Remember when we were doing somelocation scouting in Cartagena,
Colombia? Yeah, I was.
There doing some. Photography for a social media
project. Sun Salt.
Sand everything on the. Outside, it looked.
Chill, but on the inside I. Was still ticking.
(12:19):
At 100 mph. It was tough.
I remember the next day I started taking those solo walks.
Remember that. Yeah, I I woke up early, walked
out to that little. Dock by the mangroves.
No camera, no agenda. Just me and the hum of being.
(12:40):
You know that silence. It.
Cracked me open. That's the morning I stopped
asking what I should be doing and.
Started to just. Be who I am.
All right, let's talk about the drift, because that's how most
days begin by accident. Let's explore.
You wake up, yes, you check the phone, you read a headline that
(13:03):
makes you mad, or you scroll a post that makes you feel behind.
Oh. Unfortunately, this sounds
familiar. And just like that, you have
handed over the wheel. You're not captain your cargo,
but. We don't drift into alignment.
We choose. It and that.
Choice. It starts with the first breath
(13:25):
of the day. Yes, all right, time for aging
Heroes challenge I'm. Feeling a drum roll?
Captain, your day this week, your challenge, is this.
Do a radical morning audit. We're not talking shame here.
We're talking. Data.
(13:45):
Ask yourself. Number one, what's the first
thing I do in the morning #2? Who or what gets?
My attention. Before I do.
Our dogs. There's a moment of truth #3 do
I enter the day from purpose or from pressure?
Now choose one intentional shift.
Just one. Maybe it's putting your phone
(14:07):
across the room. Maybe it's a 3 minute breath
with your hand over your heart. Maybe it's barefoot porch coffee
with the sunrise. Doesn't matter what it is, it
matters that you choose it. It reclaims the helm.
That's the first domino. It's the vibe.
Setter. That's you.
Saying this is my ship. Pellet baby all right stories
(14:30):
from the front lines of change. Let me tell you about what this
practice did for me. I've always been a thinker,
always had a pen or a keyboard nearby.
But somewhere in the clutter of calendars and committee
meetings, I lost my voice. So I carved out a space.
Mornings only. My creative sacred time.
No e-mail, no noise, just writing, reflection and a cup of
(14:55):
silence. And you know what happened?
I started remembering what I believe in.
And those beliefs, Well, Erica and I have turned them into this
podcast. Yeah.
We turned them into a book called A Guy for Aging Heroes.
We turned it into coaching. We turned it into everything
that actually feels like ours. I felt the same way when I
(15:17):
started walking barefoot every morning.
In key Cocker beliefs, the sand was cool.
The light was just. Right.
And the world hadn't asked anything of me yet.
I wasn't. Really super excited.
About labeling it. Exercise.
It was really. More about remembering, I'd
(15:39):
whisper intentions to the tide. Stuff like.
Let me see the. Truth today or let joy find me
without. My having to chase it.
And over time, those walks rewired my nervous system.
My lens shifted and not just theone on my camera, right?
(15:59):
Yeah, here's the science bit. Because even us, I melon rebels,
need a little brain talk. When you start your day
reactively with screens, panic, multitasking, you flood your
system with cortisol. That's a stress hormone.
But when you start with intention, even 5 minutes of
breathing or movement, you activate your prefrontal cortex.
(16:23):
That's your calm, creative, resourceful zone.
So you're not just feeling better, you're thinking better.
And that changes your whole damnday.
It really does, right? We practice that.
Frequently it's just a daily practice and I think the
movement you feel, the mind shift you get from that is
(16:45):
exponential. Think of your morning like a
recipe. You don't need a gourmet spread,
you need 1 nourishing ingredient.
Add clarity. Stir slowly.
And let it simmer. All right.
Segment 2 recap. Let's recap.
It's called Put some soul on it.Number one, you can't drift into
(17:06):
a day that. Serves your soul.
You have to steer. #2 Morning rituals aren't a luxury, they're
a strategy. #3 Audit what owns your attention.
Shift one thing. And #4 the first hour of your
day is the rudder for the rest. Very true.
Coming up next, audit the island.
(17:28):
Now you've got your hands on thewheel, you're breathing, you're
choosing, you're remembering. But now it's time to look around
and ask who's still on this boatwith me.
What's still cluttering the deck?
And what kind of music is playing in the background of my
(17:49):
life? And do I even like it?
In segment 3, we're going full Marie Kondo meets Moonlit
Bonfire. We're talking energy edits.
How to clear the space around you so it matches the fire
within you. So stick around, we are about to
toss some dead weight overboard.Toss it.
(18:10):
Lovingly, of course, Of course. You've walked through the fire.
You've reclaimed your mornings now.
Let's talk about what? And who you've got riding
(18:33):
shotgun in your. Life because you can be the
saltiest, sassiest. Version of yourself, but if your
environment. Is built for the old.
You you'll sing faster than a flip flop in wet cement.
Let's put it this way. If your soul's a campfire, you
(18:53):
better check who's been peeing on it.
I know you said that because it'll make me laugh.
You've. Heard the saying you're the
average of the five. People you.
Spend the most time with I've. Never heard that saying.
I made it up today. OK.
Well, that math adds up fast if one of those people.
Is always sucking the wind out of your sail.
(19:18):
Let's talk about the island around you, your space.
Your people. Your.
Patterns. Are they lighting you up?
Or are they? They weighing you down.
Let me paint a picture. Get your paintbrush out.
A few years ago, Erica and I were eating salmon and broccoli
at the local steakhouse like good boys and girls.
I remember that. I was rocking the do Rag.
(19:41):
Long hair, sleeveless T-shirt, tattoos on display.
You said your normal day-to-day look.
Pretty much, yeah. We walk in and I see this dude
side eyeing us from across the bar.
Now, being an racial couple in the foothills of western North
Carolina, we've learned to spot the look.
(20:01):
I clocked it. Slow head, turn my gut.
Reaction. Lock eyes.
Hold the line. Dare on the blink.
In in our. Household.
I call that. Look the Harrison.
But here's a twist. Turns out the guy, his name was
Chris, leans over and says, I know you're a writer.
Yeah. That's right.
I thought, he said writer, and Inearly fell out of my chair.
(20:24):
I was like, well, yeah, I am. Rusty.
Thought this man had. Psychic powers.
Turns out he meant rider like a motorcycle rider, not writer
like someone who writes books. Yeah, but we started talking and
we swapped stories. By the time our food showed up,
Chris had laid down some heavy truth.
He'd lost a child and a brother in the same year.
(20:47):
And just like that, boom. This man I misjudged had a soul
wide open and aching when he andhis wife left the restaurant.
He paid for our dinner. Didn't ask, he just said pay it
forward. Changed the whole night and
broke something open in US. Rusty and I started talking
about how many assumptions. We carry about people, places.
(21:11):
Even our own damn. Spaces.
It's a good. Reminder, it just all needs to
be intentionally audited. It's true, yeah.
So welcome to the island, pull out your mental machete and
let's clear some brush. Aging heroes, it's that.
Time for challenged odd at the Island.
(21:32):
This week's mission isn't about burning bridges.
It's about. Building better docks.
So ask yourself. Number one, who brings the
breeze and who brings? The bugs. #2 What habits suck my
energy dry like a tourist in an open bar?
#3 where in my home or? Life does clutter.
(21:53):
Speak louder than clarity. #4 and most importantly, who do I
become in each of these spaces? Write it down.
Map your island. Circle your lighthouses.
X out the sand traps. No judgement, just clarity.
Now make one bold move. Just one.
Maybe it's a boundary. Maybe it's a donation box.
(22:14):
Maybe it's saying no without an apology.
This isn't spring cleaning. This is sole preservation.
Let's get personal when Rusty and I first moved in.
Together I had this little. Meditation Corner It had
candles, my journal, salt lamp, the whole crunchy vibe I.
(22:35):
Loved it. It was.
So my thing but. Slowly, stuff started.
Creeping in mail? Piles to.
Do lists laundry. Baskets.
Rusty's probably. Going It's a revolving door.
The longer he knew me, you know that that sacred corner turned
into a cluttered mess. So one morning I kicked
(22:58):
everything out. Lit a stick of.
Palo Santo and said. This space it's.
Mine again. Tiny act.
Big. Shift.
Oh baby. Here is our Segment 3 recap #1
Your space and your people shapeyour energy. #2 don't assume
(23:19):
audit who and what. Still fits the you.
Are becoming. #3 make one brave shift, reclaim a space, set a
boundary, toss the soul junk. #4you're the architect of your
island. Build wisely.
Coming up next, Rebirth isn't. Polite.
(23:39):
It's powerful. You've walked through the fire.
You've taken the wheel and cleared the clutter.
Now it's time for the final. Phase Rebirth.
We're. Going to talk about what it
really looks like to. Rise from the ashes and live
like the aging hero you were born to be.
(23:59):
We're talking about big. Leaps loud.
Joy and maybe even. A tattoo or two.
So throw on your best linen. Put it on.
Grab your rum. Take a sip this.
Island Revival is just getting started.
(24:32):
All. Right, you rebel hearts.
You've done it. You've walked through the.
Fire taken the wheel and Marie condoed your mental and
emotional closets. Now you're probably thinking,
great, now what? Now comes the part everybody
thinks they're ready for. Until.
(24:54):
It's actually. Time to do it.
You move. Not someday, folks.
Not. Not after you've.
Color-coded your life. Planner, although that sounds
like fun and not when Mercury. Goes direct you.
Move now. Not perfectly, not gracefully.
(25:15):
Just gloriously, chaotically, truthfully forward.
Because perf. Because.
Imperfect action is. The rocket fuel of.
Transformation and the. Best stories they start.
When you stop waiting to be ready and just take the damn
(25:37):
step. Look, I've been that guy.
You've been that guy. I used to have four different
apps dedicated to planning my life.
I had a data watch, index cards,journals, the works.
Lots of planning, lots of data. Lots of data.
But I always had some reason notto pull the trigger.
(26:00):
Hmm, nothing we keep. Waiting for the perfect setup.
You know, things like the ideal.Job.
Flattering lighting, the right sign from the universe.
But. Transformation.
It doesn't happen when you're standing still.
That happens when you start moving with sand in your hair
and doubt in your. Heart, but you still.
Do it anyway. Yeah, listen, I recently.
(26:23):
Photographed a cacao. Expedition in the jungle and my
lens on my camera, it kept fogging up and I had these sand
fleas, we call them. Chitras they were.
Eating me alive, you know, That was a moment I could have
gotten. Super frustrated but.
When I stopped focusing on trying to make the images
(26:45):
perfect and just captured. The truth.
Of the moment, muddy feet, open hearts, raw emotion and all it.
Really became a sacred. Moment.
That's what we mean when we say you're more ready than you
think. Let's call this what it is.
The lie that says you're not ready is fear and a prom dress
(27:08):
Fear. Fear dresses up like logic, like
caution, like maybe later. But underneath it, it's just a
story you've been handed by a world that profits from your
hesitation. Here's a truth bomb wrapped in a
coconut shell. That's the best kind of truth
bomb, really. You will never regret the move
(27:30):
you made with your. Whole.
Heart even. If it flopped but you.
Will regret the months. Were years you stood still.
On the edge of change, waiting for certainty to give you
permission, and spoiler certainty never shows up.
(27:52):
You have to leave anyway. Look, back in my therapy days, I
had this client we'll call Dennis.
Hi, Dennis. He was brilliant, he was
resilient and he was stuck. Oh no.
For months, for months, he said he wanted to write a book.
So every session he'd talk about, oh, I'll do it when the
(28:13):
kids get older, when work settles down, when I feel more
inspired. Then one day he shows up with
this wild look in his eyes and says, I finally wrote the
beginning. I did it on a napkin at Waffle
House. Boom.
That's it. That's how it happens.
Yes, that's how it happens. Not with fanfare, not with
fireworks, but with messy ordinary action when you do it
(28:37):
anyway. Aging.
Heroes, let's go ahead. And take on challenge #4 take
messy, magnificent action this week.
Or going to do the thing you've been avoiding.
Yep, that thing. The one that makes your stomach.
Drop a little the. One you've dressed up as
(28:58):
planning but no in your gut is avoidance.
So ask yourself, what have I been postponing in the name of
timing? What have I been waiting to be
qualified to do? What bold, beautiful move have I
shrunk away from because I couldn't guarantee success?
Write it, circle it, whisper it if you have to, then take one
(29:23):
tiny brave step towards it. Not the whole mountain, just a
Pebble sized move. And.
If you need help, we've got a ritual.
For you our version of. What we like to call.
Island magic Messy action ritual, The 10 minute tango.
We want you to pick the thing, then set a timer for 10 minutes
(29:43):
and do 1. Part of it, even if you do it
badly. Write the first line, call the
person, submit the pitch, schedule the session, pack the
bag, say the thing, run around the block.
Whatever. It is and when the timer Dings
we want you to. Celebrate like you just crossed
the. Finish line in a flaming go
(30:04):
onesie with confetti in your teeth.
And if it helps, pretend you're on an island.
That would help. Because metaphorically, you are
this new version of you. It's a place you've never been
before. Of course there's no map.
You are building the map with every step.
Segment 4 recap truths worth. Tattooing #1 Remember, there is
(30:28):
no such thing as the perfect moment. #2 Action is sacred,
even when it's clumsy. #3 Fear wears disguises so.
Call it out number. Four, you're allowed to move
while still scared. And #5 every.
Imperfect step forward is. Transformation in motion.
(30:53):
Coming up next, a little island debrief.
We are wrapping this leg of the journey with some hammock time
reflections, a splash of gratitude and a peak at what's
ahead for you, my brave soul. We'll talk about what it really
means to become, how to anchor your growth without clinging to
(31:14):
your past, and why life after 40506070 or 80 isn't a winding
down, it's a wild ramp up. So stretch your limbs.
Take a deep. Breath and feel that post action
glow. You did something today, even if
it was tiny, even if it was scrappy.
(31:37):
And that, my friends, is a revolution.
We'll see you again in a minute.All right, aging heroes, take a
(31:57):
deep breath. Let it settle in this episode.
Whoo. That was not a toe dip in the
Kitty pool. It was not.
That was cannonballing into transformation with all your
clothes on and still walking outproud, soaked and reborn.
(32:19):
Whoo you showed. Up segment 1, you stood in the
ashes, named your fire, watched.Your old story.
Go up in smoke and maybe toasteda marshmallow on the way.
Out segment 2, you didn't just hit snooze on your soul again.
No, you grabbed your morning by the flip flops and decided to
(32:42):
steer your own damn ship. In segment 3 you cleaned house
Marie Kondo style decluttered not.
Just your desk. But your energetic vampires,
emotional baggage and that 10 year old cardigan whispering.
Settle. And segment 4, you said yes to
(33:06):
action, even the messy kind. Especially the messy kind.
You tangle barefoot, baby. Look, we didn't come here to
pretend that this stuff is easy.No.

Don't pursue happiness. So bring a drink, a journal and
maybe a fan because it's going to get warm.
Until then, aging heroes, keep the fire lit, keep the wheel
steady, and keep showing up likeyour souls, the guest of honor.
Because it is. This is the Latitude Adjustment
(34:33):
and Aging Heroes podcast, and this is just the beginning.

adventure. Hosted by Randolph and Erica
Harrison, co-authors of the award-winning A Guide for Aging

force, bringing beauty, heart, and fierce clarity to every
episode. Together, they're here to spark
your second act, and your day one starts now.
(00:49):
Picture this. You are leaning against a palm
tree on 1/2. Waxed beach chair, barefoot in
yesterday's clothes. Watching Pelicans dive like.
They've got a purpose you. Haven't quite figured out yet
salts in your hair. The past is in your rear.
View, but your soul it's stuck at a.
(01:10):
Fork in the road with a flat tire and a head.
Full of what ifs. It's that in between place, the
not quite who you were, not quite who you're becoming zone.
And let me tell you, it's not a tour stop.
This is where the real stuff happens.
It is. Not the perfect blow up.
(01:32):
Nope. The soul deep ash stained.
I didn't know I could feel this alive kind of transformation.
And yeah. It hurts like hell.
But you know what? Pain isn't punished, it's
permission. Put it on a T-shirt.
Baby, that's right. Hey.
(01:52):
You want to share a? Story about how.
Fire can clear the brush for something wild and wonderful.
To grow. Yeah, sure.
Let's do it. OK, a few years back I was done
with riding motorcycles. For way over a decade
motorcycles were my freedom. It was 2 wheel therapy.
Absolute truth. But one too many spills left me
(02:17):
broken. Physically, mentally,
spiritually. But before the accident, yeah,
baby, I was the professor. That's right.
That was your biker name? I loved it.
I was rattling down the southernback roads on a bike named Nora.
The professor in Nora. She was a Harley Softail classic
(02:38):
with a heart and a whole lot of attitude.
Do I? Need to be jealous here.
Hey, she was pretty cute. Eventually I had to retire,
which was like retiring one of your hands.
Totally true. And I got a bike that I call
Sugar. Sugar was a sleek Triumph
(02:59):
America, and she looks sweet. That's why I call her Sugar.
I'm all about a triumph. She rode hard and literally
tried to kill me twice. Damn.
That's quite a lady. So after the accident I
continued to ride for a while, but I got no joy from it, so I
(03:20):
eventually parked the dream and said goodbye to riding.
Bye. Yeah, I figured my biker days
were behind me until a couple ofyears ago when Erica and I just
stopped in to look at the Indiandealership in Charlotte.
I remember that day. Like it was yesterday, Rusty,
(03:41):
you were circling. Around an Indian.
Scout Bobber like a. And in love and in denial at the
same time. True enough.
Baby, you didn't want to ride. It you.
Didn't want to find yourself wanting it, but I remember there
was this point where. I saw that old spark.
(04:02):
Flicker in your eyes. Let me tell you all when.
Rusty's spirit stirs it's. A completely unstoppable force.
I was terrified. Aw, I wasn't scared of the bike,
but I was really scared of what getting back on would mean.
(04:23):
Facing that fear, feeling that fire, risking myself again for
something that used to define me.
But I remembered what we wrote in Aging Heroes before the
Phoenix Rises. It has to burn.
So I bought the damn bike. I rode her white knuckle from
Charlotte to Morganton, following Erica's tail lights
(04:47):
the whole way like a lovesick teenager chasing his shot at
redemption. Oh.
I think you do that every day. I'm still chasing you like a
lovesick teenager. By the time we hit the city
limits, though, I wasn't scared anymore.
I was grinning like a fool and naming my new ride Rica, the
woman who handed me back my wings.
(05:10):
I love that. So that's what fire does.
It strips away what? Doesn't serve you.
Burns down the. Old rolls the outdated.
Masks. The lies you told to keep the
peace. It hurts, but it also heals,
right? Yeah, and we've all got a fire
(05:31):
story. We do.
The one that scorched us clean. The mistake, the diagnosis, the
breakup, the burnout. Or maybe, maybe it wasn't even
dramatic. Maybe it was just that slow,
creeping ache that said this ain't it.
But here's the truth, You Beautiful.
Aging heroes, you didn't lose. Yourself.
You left what no longer fits now.
(05:55):
You're that? Phoenix standing barefoot in the
ash, wondering if there's anything left.
Well, there is. And it's wild and free and
worthy of the next. Chapter.
Nice. Well, I think it's time Aging
Heroes challenge #1. Let's.
Give them a challenge. Rise through your pain this
(06:17):
week. Do something radical.
Name your fire. Not the polite version, not the
excuse. The real burn the I'm done
pretending flame that's been waiting to be spoken out loud.
Ask yourself, what art? Of me is gasping for air.
What outdated? Role have I been dragging around
(06:39):
out of guilt or habit? And what pain have I been hiding
behind a mask of? Busy or.
Fine, take that list and write it on a cocktail napkin or.
Whatever you've got. Handy, you can whisper it into
the. Sea breeze if.
You want hell tattoo? It if you're brave, but get it
out. Not to.
(07:00):
Fix it just to face it. Because this is not A to do list
baby. No.
This is a torch. Let it burn.
Let it burn the idea that you have to be who you used to be.
Let it burn the shame that came with staying too long in the
wrong story, and let it burn themyth that says you're too late.
(07:24):
Oh, I'm feeling the burn. You are not too late.
You are right on time. Island time, yeah, but still
right on time. And don't panic everybody if it
feels messy. You're not lost, you're just not
performing anymore. This is.
Clarity in disguise. So after my big accident I woke
(07:45):
up in the hospital with a brokenback.
Oh damn. A bunch of broken ribs, a
punctured lung, and complete confusion.
Yeah, that day sucked. That seems like an
understatement, right? Yes, but I survived and 10 years
later I bought another bike anyway.
(08:06):
Because the fire doesn't kill you, it tempers you.
We're telling you this because. We believe in your.
Becoming not your perfection, you're becoming.
This is the. Wilderness of who you're meant
to be. And it doesn't come with a map,
it comes with five and freedom. Well said.
(08:31):
Here is a little segment recap. I'd love a recap.
Number one transformation isn't tidy.
It's ash streaked and soul deep.#2 you didn't lose.
The old you. You just outgrew.
It #3 Fire isn't destruction, it's rebirth.
And #4 you don't need answers. You need courage to face the.
(08:54):
Flame coming up next Captain your day you've stood in the
ashes you've named the fire now it's time to stop drifting and
start driving in our next segment we'll.
Show you how to take the wheel of your day with swagger.
And intention. No spreadsheets, no shame, Just.
(09:16):
Your heartbeat. As a compass.
Because if you. Don't captain your ship.
Your distractions will. And trust me, they don't even
know how to swim. So stick around, we are just
getting warmed up. All right, aging heroes.
(09:44):
U based your fire. You've stood in the ashes of
what no longer fits, and now thebig question hits.
Oh, what's next? You move, baby, but not like a
hamster on crack. You move intentionally because
you've got this shiny new clarity.
(10:05):
But if you let the wrong rhythm drive your day, that clarity
gone like a paper umbrella and abeach wind.
This is where we. Learn to captain the day, not
manage it not. Suffer through it.
Captain it, Yes, Because if you don't.
Steer your soul ship. Guess what?
(10:27):
Your. Inbox will your notifications.
Will your shoulds will. And they don't even have a
compass. Let me tell you, for years my
mornings were pure chaos. Oh yeah, e-mail schedules.
Everybody's emergencies. Think of how many people.
(10:48):
Like that's their day-to-day. I'm sure that's true.
Yeah. My feet hit the floor in the
morning. Bam.
I was on call before I could even take a full breath.
I convinced myself that I didn'thave time for a ritual, but I
was wrong. I didn't have time to not have
one because when I skipped the silence, I forgot who I was.
(11:09):
I remember that version of. You you were super busy, but.
You just didn't seem lit up inside anymore.
Exactly. I was everybody's teacher,
everybody's sounding board, but I couldn't hear my own damn
thoughts. Then came this shift.
I started waking up early, before the world wanted me.
(11:31):
No emails, no noise, just breath.
My favorite YouTube sailing channel and a cup of coffee that
didn't ask anything of. I did that for 10 minutes,
sometimes 20. And the point wasn't perfection,
it was just being present. I get goosebumps when I hear you
sharing that and it actually reminds me of a.
(11:54):
Story. That I have that has similar
bones but maybe different island.
Remember when we were doing somelocation scouting in Cartagena,
Colombia? Yeah, I was.
There doing some. Photography for a social media
project. Sun Salt.
Sand everything on the. Outside, it looked.
Chill, but on the inside I. Was still ticking.
(12:19):
At 100 mph. It was tough.
I remember the next day I started taking those solo walks.
Remember that. Yeah, I I woke up early, walked
out to that little. Dock by the mangroves.
No camera, no agenda. Just me and the hum of being.
(12:40):
You know that silence. It.
Cracked me open. That's the morning I stopped
asking what I should be doing and.
Started to just. Be who I am.
All right, let's talk about the drift, because that's how most
days begin by accident. Let's explore.
You wake up, yes, you check the phone, you read a headline that
(13:03):
makes you mad, or you scroll a post that makes you feel behind.
Oh. Unfortunately, this sounds
familiar. And just like that, you have
handed over the wheel. You're not captain your cargo,
but. We don't drift into alignment.
We choose. It and that.
Choice. It starts with the first breath
(13:25):
of the day. Yes, all right, time for aging
Heroes challenge I'm. Feeling a drum roll?
Captain, your day this week, your challenge, is this.
Do a radical morning audit. We're not talking shame here.
We're talking. Data.
(13:45):
Ask yourself. Number one, what's the first
thing I do in the morning #2? Who or what gets?
My attention. Before I do.
Our dogs. There's a moment of truth #3 do
I enter the day from purpose or from pressure?
Now choose one intentional shift.
Just one. Maybe it's putting your phone
(14:07):
across the room. Maybe it's a 3 minute breath
with your hand over your heart. Maybe it's barefoot porch coffee
with the sunrise. Doesn't matter what it is, it
matters that you choose it. It reclaims the helm.
That's the first domino. It's the vibe.
Setter. That's you.
Saying this is my ship. Pellet baby all right stories
(14:30):
from the front lines of change. Let me tell you about what this
practice did for me. I've always been a thinker,
always had a pen or a keyboard nearby.
But somewhere in the clutter of calendars and committee
meetings, I lost my voice. So I carved out a space.
Mornings only. My creative sacred time.
No e-mail, no noise, just writing, reflection and a cup of
(14:55):
silence. And you know what happened?
I started remembering what I believe in.
And those beliefs, Well, Erica and I have turned them into this
podcast. Yeah.
We turned them into a book called A Guy for Aging Heroes.
We turned it into coaching. We turned it into everything
that actually feels like ours. I felt the same way when I
(15:17):
started walking barefoot every morning.
In key Cocker beliefs, the sand was cool.
The light was just. Right.
And the world hadn't asked anything of me yet.
I wasn't. Really super excited.
About labeling it. Exercise.
It was really. More about remembering, I'd
(15:39):
whisper intentions to the tide. Stuff like.
Let me see the. Truth today or let joy find me
without. My having to chase it.
And over time, those walks rewired my nervous system.
My lens shifted and not just theone on my camera, right?
(15:59):
Yeah, here's the science bit. Because even us, I melon rebels,
need a little brain talk. When you start your day
reactively with screens, panic, multitasking, you flood your
system with cortisol. That's a stress hormone.
But when you start with intention, even 5 minutes of
breathing or movement, you activate your prefrontal cortex.
(16:23):
That's your calm, creative, resourceful zone.
So you're not just feeling better, you're thinking better.
And that changes your whole damnday.
It really does, right? We practice that.
Frequently it's just a daily practice and I think the
movement you feel, the mind shift you get from that is
(16:45):
exponential. Think of your morning like a
recipe. You don't need a gourmet spread,
you need 1 nourishing ingredient.
Add clarity. Stir slowly.
And let it simmer. All right.
Segment 2 recap. Let's recap.
It's called Put some soul on it.Number one, you can't drift into
(17:06):
a day that. Serves your soul.
You have to steer. #2 Morning rituals aren't a luxury, they're
a strategy. #3 Audit what owns your attention.
Shift one thing. And #4 the first hour of your
day is the rudder for the rest. Very true.
Coming up next, audit the island.
(17:28):
Now you've got your hands on thewheel, you're breathing, you're
choosing, you're remembering. But now it's time to look around
and ask who's still on this boatwith me.
What's still cluttering the deck?
And what kind of music is playing in the background of my
(17:49):
life? And do I even like it?
In segment 3, we're going full Marie Kondo meets Moonlit
Bonfire. We're talking energy edits.
How to clear the space around you so it matches the fire
within you. So stick around, we are about to
toss some dead weight overboard.Toss it.
(18:10):
Lovingly, of course, Of course. You've walked through the fire.
You've reclaimed your mornings now.
Let's talk about what? And who you've got riding
(18:33):
shotgun in your. Life because you can be the
saltiest, sassiest. Version of yourself, but if your
environment. Is built for the old.
You you'll sing faster than a flip flop in wet cement.
Let's put it this way. If your soul's a campfire, you
(18:53):
better check who's been peeing on it.
I know you said that because it'll make me laugh.
You've. Heard the saying you're the
average of the five. People you.
Spend the most time with I've. Never heard that saying.
I made it up today. OK.
Well, that math adds up fast if one of those people.
Is always sucking the wind out of your sail.
(19:18):
Let's talk about the island around you, your space.
Your people. Your.
Patterns. Are they lighting you up?
Or are they? They weighing you down.
Let me paint a picture. Get your paintbrush out.
A few years ago, Erica and I were eating salmon and broccoli
at the local steakhouse like good boys and girls.
I remember that. I was rocking the do Rag.
(19:41):
Long hair, sleeveless T-shirt, tattoos on display.
You said your normal day-to-day look.
Pretty much, yeah. We walk in and I see this dude
side eyeing us from across the bar.
Now, being an racial couple in the foothills of western North
Carolina, we've learned to spot the look.
(20:01):
I clocked it. Slow head, turn my gut.
Reaction. Lock eyes.
Hold the line. Dare on the blink.
In in our. Household.
I call that. Look the Harrison.
But here's a twist. Turns out the guy, his name was
Chris, leans over and says, I know you're a writer.
Yeah. That's right.
I thought, he said writer, and Inearly fell out of my chair.
(20:24):
I was like, well, yeah, I am. Rusty.
Thought this man had. Psychic powers.
Turns out he meant rider like a motorcycle rider, not writer
like someone who writes books. Yeah, but we started talking and
we swapped stories. By the time our food showed up,
Chris had laid down some heavy truth.
He'd lost a child and a brother in the same year.
(20:47):
And just like that, boom. This man I misjudged had a soul
wide open and aching when he andhis wife left the restaurant.
He paid for our dinner. Didn't ask, he just said pay it
forward. Changed the whole night and
broke something open in US. Rusty and I started talking
about how many assumptions. We carry about people, places.
(21:11):
Even our own damn. Spaces.
It's a good. Reminder, it just all needs to
be intentionally audited. It's true, yeah.
So welcome to the island, pull out your mental machete and
let's clear some brush. Aging heroes, it's that.
Time for challenged odd at the Island.
(21:32):
This week's mission isn't about burning bridges.
It's about. Building better docks.
So ask yourself. Number one, who brings the
breeze and who brings? The bugs. #2 What habits suck my
energy dry like a tourist in an open bar?
#3 where in my home or? Life does clutter.
(21:53):
Speak louder than clarity. #4 and most importantly, who do I
become in each of these spaces? Write it down.
Map your island. Circle your lighthouses.
X out the sand traps. No judgement, just clarity.
Now make one bold move. Just one.
Maybe it's a boundary. Maybe it's a donation box.
(22:14):
Maybe it's saying no without an apology.
This isn't spring cleaning. This is sole preservation.
Let's get personal when Rusty and I first moved in.
Together I had this little. Meditation Corner It had
candles, my journal, salt lamp, the whole crunchy vibe I.
(22:35):
Loved it. It was.
So my thing but. Slowly, stuff started.
Creeping in mail? Piles to.
Do lists laundry. Baskets.
Rusty's probably. Going It's a revolving door.
The longer he knew me, you know that that sacred corner turned
into a cluttered mess. So one morning I kicked
(22:58):
everything out. Lit a stick of.
Palo Santo and said. This space it's.
Mine again. Tiny act.
Big. Shift.
Oh baby. Here is our Segment 3 recap #1
Your space and your people shapeyour energy. #2 don't assume
(23:19):
audit who and what. Still fits the you.
Are becoming. #3 make one brave shift, reclaim a space, set a
boundary, toss the soul junk. #4you're the architect of your
island. Build wisely.
Coming up next, Rebirth isn't. Polite.
(23:39):
It's powerful. You've walked through the fire.
You've taken the wheel and cleared the clutter.
Now it's time for the final. Phase Rebirth.
We're. Going to talk about what it
really looks like to. Rise from the ashes and live
like the aging hero you were born to be.
(23:59):
We're talking about big. Leaps loud.
Joy and maybe even. A tattoo or two.
So throw on your best linen. Put it on.
Grab your rum. Take a sip this.
Island Revival is just getting started.
(24:32):
All. Right, you rebel hearts.
You've done it. You've walked through the.
Fire taken the wheel and Marie condoed your mental and
emotional closets. Now you're probably thinking,
great, now what? Now comes the part everybody
thinks they're ready for. Until.
(24:54):
It's actually. Time to do it.
You move. Not someday, folks.
Not. Not after you've.
Color-coded your life. Planner, although that sounds
like fun and not when Mercury. Goes direct you.
Move now. Not perfectly, not gracefully.
(25:15):
Just gloriously, chaotically, truthfully forward.
Because perf. Because.
Imperfect action is. The rocket fuel of.
Transformation and the. Best stories they start.
When you stop waiting to be ready and just take the damn
(25:37):
step. Look, I've been that guy.
You've been that guy. I used to have four different
apps dedicated to planning my life.
I had a data watch, index cards,journals, the works.
Lots of planning, lots of data. Lots of data.
But I always had some reason notto pull the trigger.
(26:00):
Hmm, nothing we keep. Waiting for the perfect setup.
You know, things like the ideal.Job.
Flattering lighting, the right sign from the universe.
But. Transformation.
It doesn't happen when you're standing still.
That happens when you start moving with sand in your hair
and doubt in your. Heart, but you still.
Do it anyway. Yeah, listen, I recently.
(26:23):
Photographed a cacao. Expedition in the jungle and my
lens on my camera, it kept fogging up and I had these sand
fleas, we call them. Chitras they were.
Eating me alive, you know, That was a moment I could have
gotten. Super frustrated but.
When I stopped focusing on trying to make the images
(26:45):
perfect and just captured. The truth.
Of the moment, muddy feet, open hearts, raw emotion and all it.
Really became a sacred. Moment.
That's what we mean when we say you're more ready than you
think. Let's call this what it is.
The lie that says you're not ready is fear and a prom dress
(27:08):
Fear. Fear dresses up like logic, like
caution, like maybe later. But underneath it, it's just a
story you've been handed by a world that profits from your
hesitation. Here's a truth bomb wrapped in a
coconut shell. That's the best kind of truth
bomb, really. You will never regret the move
(27:30):
you made with your. Whole.
Heart even. If it flopped but you.
Will regret the months. Were years you stood still.
On the edge of change, waiting for certainty to give you
permission, and spoiler certainty never shows up.
(27:52):
You have to leave anyway. Look, back in my therapy days, I
had this client we'll call Dennis.
Hi, Dennis. He was brilliant, he was
resilient and he was stuck. Oh no.
For months, for months, he said he wanted to write a book.
So every session he'd talk about, oh, I'll do it when the
(28:13):
kids get older, when work settles down, when I feel more
inspired. Then one day he shows up with
this wild look in his eyes and says, I finally wrote the
beginning. I did it on a napkin at Waffle
House. Boom.
That's it. That's how it happens.
Yes, that's how it happens. Not with fanfare, not with
fireworks, but with messy ordinary action when you do it
(28:37):
anyway. Aging.
Heroes, let's go ahead. And take on challenge #4 take
messy, magnificent action this week.
Or going to do the thing you've been avoiding.
Yep, that thing. The one that makes your stomach.
Drop a little the. One you've dressed up as
(28:58):
planning but no in your gut is avoidance.
So ask yourself, what have I been postponing in the name of
timing? What have I been waiting to be
qualified to do? What bold, beautiful move have I
shrunk away from because I couldn't guarantee success?
Write it, circle it, whisper it if you have to, then take one
(29:23):
tiny brave step towards it. Not the whole mountain, just a
Pebble sized move. And.
If you need help, we've got a ritual.
For you our version of. What we like to call.
Island magic Messy action ritual, The 10 minute tango.
We want you to pick the thing, then set a timer for 10 minutes
(29:43):
and do 1. Part of it, even if you do it
badly. Write the first line, call the
person, submit the pitch, schedule the session, pack the
bag, say the thing, run around the block.
Whatever. It is and when the timer Dings
we want you to. Celebrate like you just crossed
the. Finish line in a flaming go
(30:04):
onesie with confetti in your teeth.
And if it helps, pretend you're on an island.
That would help. Because metaphorically, you are
this new version of you. It's a place you've never been
before. Of course there's no map.
You are building the map with every step.
Segment 4 recap truths worth. Tattooing #1 Remember, there is
(30:28):
no such thing as the perfect moment. #2 Action is sacred,
even when it's clumsy. #3 Fear wears disguises so.
Call it out number. Four, you're allowed to move
while still scared. And #5 every.
Imperfect step forward is. Transformation in motion.
(30:53):
Coming up next, a little island debrief.
We are wrapping this leg of the journey with some hammock time
reflections, a splash of gratitude and a peak at what's
ahead for you, my brave soul. We'll talk about what it really
means to become, how to anchor your growth without clinging to
(31:14):
your past, and why life after 40506070 or 80 isn't a winding
down, it's a wild ramp up. So stretch your limbs.
Take a deep. Breath and feel that post action
glow. You did something today, even if
it was tiny, even if it was scrappy.
(31:37):
And that, my friends, is a revolution.
We'll see you again in a minute.All right, aging heroes, take a
(31:57):
deep breath. Let it settle in this episode.
Whoo. That was not a toe dip in the
Kitty pool. It was not.
That was cannonballing into transformation with all your
clothes on and still walking outproud, soaked and reborn.
(32:19):
Whoo you showed. Up segment 1, you stood in the
ashes, named your fire, watched.Your old story.
Go up in smoke and maybe toasteda marshmallow on the way.
Out segment 2, you didn't just hit snooze on your soul again.
No, you grabbed your morning by the flip flops and decided to
(32:42):
steer your own damn ship. In segment 3 you cleaned house
Marie Kondo style decluttered not.
Just your desk. But your energetic vampires,
emotional baggage and that 10 year old cardigan whispering.
Settle. And segment 4, you said yes to
(33:06):
action, even the messy kind. Especially the messy kind.
You tangle barefoot, baby. Look, we didn't come here to
