Coffee-Friends-In-Quartzsite-Bob Davis Podcast 1122

Coffee and Friends In Quartzsite

Firstly there’s nothing like connecting with old friends over coffee in Quartzsite, Arizona. Details in Coffee-Friends-In-Quartzsite-Bob Davis Podcast 1122.

Video

Secondly my friend Robert appeared with me in a Peter Santinello video about six months ago along with our friend Mike. Grab that video here.

Reconnect

So it’s great to reconnect along with all our other camping buddies here in the desert. Mike’s Podcast with me is here.

Old Friends and New Friends

Without a doubt camping here is all about connecting with old friends and new ones.

Masters Program In Nomad Life

In addition we enjoy discussions about how others do what they do.

In fact it’s like a masters program in nomad life.

Coffee

Therefore the first thing we do almost every morning is make coffee.

Bring A Chair

And we bring a chair to sit down and hash out the day.

Robert is joining me for this podcast in the same fashion.

Life Experience

All in all Robert has a lot of life experience and a great sense of humor. Robert is the Darq Nomad on YouTube. Click here for his channel.

All things considered one of the things that makes nomad life Quartzsite style so great is our combined life experience.

Allergy To Being Inside

As has been noted in these pages I was surprised to learn many of us have developed an allergy to being in a house too long.

It was for this reason I spent the summer camped along a lake shore.

Same Experiences

And I was surprised to learn several of us had the same experience.

Taking Risks

Even more one of the things I like about Robert is his willingness to take risks to get things done.

Upgrading To Utility Trailer

In Coffee-Friends-In-Quartzsite-Bob Davis Podcast 1122 Robert explains how he upgraded to a utility trailer build this summer.

To explain Robert took food service and retail jobs to help the build along.

And keep him out of a house.

This Is Home

In truth we feel at home in these campgrounds.

Certainly I think friendship is key.

But the warmth doesn’t hurt.

Beating-Travel-Blues-In-Arkansas-Bob Davis Podcast 993

Beating The Travel Blues In Arkansas

Firstly you would be forgiven for wondering why I would even need to beat the travel blues in Arkansas. Above all other places. But the travel blues can bite you in the ass without warning. Learn more in Beating-Travel-Blues-In-Arkansas-Bob Davis Podcast 993.

Goal Oriented

Secondly we live in a goal oriented culture.

Need Must Do Or Die

Want to becomes need to. Must do. Do or die.

Relentless

More importantly when I’m pursuing a goal I can be relentless.

Frustrated

Consequently I found myself in Arkansas the other day, frustrated and ticked off.

Preconceived Notions About The Day

To clarify I had this image in my head of just how the day was going to go. I would end up at the perfect campsite, right by the side of the road!

Arkansas

Certainly I had meticulously planned my transit through Arkansas.

Coffee Filters?

And then I ran out of coffee filters.

Haywire

As a result my day went haywire.

Off Intention…Off Course

In short I ended up on a highway I never intended to be on and wasn’t sure where I was going.

Change Your Attitude Brah

On the other hand it ended perfectly. Find out how in Beating-Travel-Blues-In-Arkansas-Bob Davis Podcast 993.

Ride Up Front With Me

Even more in this podcast you get to ride up front with me!

Lessons Learned

In the same vein there are many lessons I learn on the road.

Where’s The Fire?

For one thing I can forget I don’t have a tether and I don’t need to press on as though there’s no tomorrow.

How I Learn

Moreover this is how I can learn lessons that have applications to every day life.

Bliss Isn’t Always As Easy As It Looks

In addition though I talk about travel zen, reaching that state of bliss isn’t always as easy as I think it will be.

Ouachita National Forest

Finally I had to shift gears as I headed through the gorgeous Ouachita National Forest on my way to Dallas, Texas.

Short But Complex

In conclusion this is a short podcast about a complex issue.

Plans?

To sum up what happens when life doesn’t quite go the way we planned and expected?

We Don’t Need No Stinking Plans

In short sometimes the best things in life are the results of mistakes and miscalculations.

Now About Those Coffee Filters!

Or because someone runs out of coffee filters.

Springbreak-Part2-The-Interviews-Bob Davis Podcast 986

Springbreak Part2 The Interviews

Firstly it’s Springbreak and time for some interviews in Part2 of my travels to Florida this spring. Learn more in Springbreak-Part2-The-Interviews-Bob Davis Podcast 986.

Interesting People?

Secondly as a nomad Podcaster people I meet always say, “Boy you must interview some really interesting people”.

Certainly there are interesting people out here.

Until…

But generally speaking I find most people don’t have much to say when you stick a microphone in their face.

Interviews…Meh

Even more I am not big on interviews.

The Thing In Podcasting

Yes, interviews seems to be ‘the thing’ in Podcasting.

However I don’t do what everyone else does.

I Do Find People To Interview

Every now and then I run across people to interview, though.

For example two young spring breakers in Panama City Beach, Florida.

And a truly engaging woman who owns a coffee shop in Madison, Florida.

As a result Springbreak-Part2-The-Interviews-Bob Davis Podcast 986 is a unique podcast for me.

Different Approaches To Life

Most importantly these interviews illustrate different approaches to life at different times in life.

Something Real

In short I’m looking for something real out here.

No Small Talk

I don’t want to engage in small talk, especially when it comes to interviews.

Long Term Effects Of The Pandemic

In the same vein I ask how today’s younger people feel the Pandemic might effect their lives in the future.

Coffee House

And I wonder how an internationally traveled and accomplished woman decides to run a great coffee house in a small town in the Florida Panhandle in addition to other demanding interests.

I think the answer is truly enlightening.

Unique Times

Finally we are living in unique times.

Huge Opportunities

While there are challenges there are also huge opportunities if we have the right mindset.

Florida!

In conclusion I’ve always thought Florida is one of the best examples of this reality.

The Sunshine State

To sum up I’ve been coming down to the Sunshine State since I was a kid.

Never Ceases To Surprise

The People of Florida and those who come here here to change their lives, never cease to surprise me.
