How Nomads Battle Loneliness

Firstly How-Nomads-Battle-Loneliness-Bob Davis Podcast 1113 is a response to a subscriber’s question. Secondly it’s a good question. How do nomads battle loneliness?.

Secondly I had to think about this one.

Lonely Isn’t On My Agenda

Because the state of being lonely is foreign to me.

Being Lonely Versus Solitude

Therefore I think the real question is what’s the difference from being lonely…

…and enjoying solitude?

In fact solitude is a feature of nomad life.

Certainly from the outside it might appear to be lonely.

But my experience is that it isn’t.

For example consider Thoreau’s musings about solitude.

Getting Away From People

To explain I decided to go on the road permanently in part to get away from people!

Spending Time Learning And Exploring

With this in mind I also have to point out nomad life isn’t always spent alone.

I am spending more time in places I visit for one thing.

And that means time with friends and family.

Nomad Life Is Social Too

In addition in the campgrounds where we gather life is actually quite social.

Okay With Yourself

The first thing to remember if you’re hitting the road is you will spend a lot of time alone.

Accordingly you have to be okay being by yourself.

Hence How-Nomads-Battle-Loneliness-Bob Davis Podcast 1113.

Melancholy Cousin

Given these points nomad life is a celebration of solitude with no thought given to its melancholy cousin.

Too Much Social

Above all I think there’s too much influence in our society on the social aspects of life.

For instance people at Yellowstone Park recently running to capture selfies with a black bear and her cubs.

Or racing from one overlook to the next at the Grand Canyon to take pictures…

Never actually experiencing the canyon.

Digital Tether

Without a doubt we are uncomfortable without our digital tethers.

Equally important is the emphasis placed on social intelligence.

Even more getting along with others.

I think too much emphasis.

Finally how do we battle loneliness?

Embrace It

To sum up we embrace the wide nomad world as it is.

Endless Vista

All in all our world is an endless vista waiting to be explored.

Often in solitude.

July Fourth Recovery Weekend-Behind Headlines-Podcast 736

July Fourth Recovery Weekend-Behind Headlines-Podcast 736

Is this the longest holiday weekend in history? With the fourth in the middle of the week, everyone is off. Time to update listeners and subscribers to cool stories behind the headlines in July Fourth Recovery Weekend-Behind Headlines-Podcast 736.

Trump’s Trade Protection Podcast On The Way

These days it gets harder everyday to keep up with the antics of the Trump Administration. On Friday the president announced additional tariffs on Chinese goods. This calls for a full podcast on trade protection, which is in the works. Meanwhile there are just too many crazy stories out there to ignore.

The Statue of Liberty Is In Las Vegas, right?

Everyone saw video of a naturalized US Citizen trying to climb the statue of liberty over the weekend. Did you hear that the United States Post Office used the statue of liberty in Las Vegas for their new liberty stamp? Listen for details in July Fourth Recovery Weekend-Behind Headlines-Podcast 736.

Why I Don’t Fly And Take The Back Roads

This was a week in which many Americans flew home for a few days for the holiday. If you fly you know it seems like there are more and more seats in the planes. It’s especially relevant that this is one of the top complaints of passengers.

The FAA says they can’t do anything about the number of seats on planes, until it becomes a safety issue. Furthermore, this is why I use Mobile Podcast Command for travel on the back roads because why bother with the stress of air travel unless you have to.

Tiki Torches and Coffee

We’re live from the deck on this perfect July Fourth Weekend podcast. Tiki Torches and coffee. In July Fourth Recovery Weekend-Behind Headlines-Podcast 736 a free wheeling podcast that touches on news behind the headlines as well as anything and everything that comes to mind.

These Days We Need More Sleep

It’s most noteworthy that I am nocturnal, so it doesn’t make any difference to me how much sleep I’m supposed to get.

Apparently modern life is so stressful we’re now being told we need more than eight hours of sleep. My recommendation? Get some sun. You’ll feel better.

Maybe It’s Morgellon’s

I don’t sleep because I lay in bed at night and watch You Tube. You can get lost in the seedy underbelly of America. Furthermore if you get the chance you might be surprised to find tons of videos on You Tube about something called ‘Morgellon’s Disease’. One more thing to worry about!

In conclusion, we still have quite a lot of holiday left to enjoy. This podcast will give you some fun topics to bring up during dinners at the lake and during the pontoon boat ride.

Midnight Walk-Ambition Business Materialism-Podcast 615

Midnight Walk and Talk-Ambition Business Materialism-Podcast 615

Coffee in the morning? Yoga? Check and check. Doesn’t take much to make me happy these days. Have my wants become less than my needs? Motivation is essential to build a business. More clients. More revenue. Where does your motivation come from? In Midnight Walk and Talk-Ambition Business Materialism-Podcast 615.

Think Different

What’s your motivation? Material wants can fuel ambition. Good right? Thing is, creative people think a little differently. Motivated by the work. Add coffee, yoga and a roof and you probably have one happy creative. Thing is maybe that creative needs a little more, but doesn’t ‘know’ it. We’re going to walk and talk about it in Midnight Walk and Talk-Ambition Business Materialism-Podcast 615.

Unconscious Needs Surprise

Rules of the walk and talk podcast. No preparation. No plan. See what comes up. I was surprised in this podcast! Thoughts about what we need versus was we want in a material culture surfaced. Do we know what we need? Do we need a brand new car? Nice to have. No judgement on that new Bentley! But, do I need a new Bentley. Nah.

Simple Life

Got four pairs of old jeans. Two pairs of boots. Some flannel shirts. An all protein diet. Casino buffet night once a week. Water and coffee only. Yoga Mat. Two CarHart jackets. A hat and some broken glasses. A 2000 Ford Diesel Ambulance. An old Crown Vic. Travel and Adventure. Lots of audio equipment. Three old computers. Smart Phone. Stay up all night. Do a podcast. Feeling great. In Midnight Walk and Talk-Ambition Business Materialism-Podcast 615.

Meeting Needs

Sometimes we need more than we want. We just don’t know it. Maybe the ambition to serve more clients and a bigger audience would be served by making sure some needs, spoken or unspoken, get met. Now, about that Bentley.
