In this follow-up episode, Ret Taylor recounts his recent lion tracking adventure with Boyd Varty, author of The Lion Tracker’s Guide to Life. What started as a quest into the wild became something far deeper—marked by primal encounters, real danger, and hard-earned introspection.
In this episode, we cover:
• The surreal moment a leopard locked eyes with him on day one of the journey
• What it meant to stand night watch for the tribe, protecting others from hyenas, lions, and leopards
• The wisdom gained from building a company—not just selling it—and why the real reward was never just financial
• Breaking free from the “if-then” trap so many entrepreneurs fall into
• What it means to track something real, in the bush and in life
• His reflections on Boyd Varty’s teachings and how they landed in the body, not just the mind
• His next Misogi, and how he’s shaping life beyond business
This episode is packed with primal moments, poetic insights, and Breaking Normal truths for anyone walking the line between modern ambition and ancient wisdom.
