Celebrating 1100 Podcasts

Most importantly it’s hard to believe I’m celebrating 1100 podcasts. Time to reach for the highest ground in Celebrating-1100-Podcasts-Bob Davis Podcast 1100.

Campfire Every Night

And it’s even more fun to do this podcast in front of a campfire very late at night.

There’s Something About Eleven Hundred

On the other hand I usually save these celebrations for podcasts in the five hundred increment.

But there’s something about the number eleven hundred.

Pivotal Time

Firstly the last one hundred podcasts have covered a pivotal time in history.

Secondly these last one hundred podcasts have spanned a similar period in my own life.

Depth

So the content in Celebrating-1100-Podcasts-Bob Davis Podcast 1100 has some depth.

Back To The First

For example going back to the first podcasts I did back in 2009.

Changes In Travel Style

In addition the changes in travel style triggered by the inflation which started back at the end of 2021.

Content

Finally eleven hundred podcasts comprise a great deal of content.

More Than Ten Years

That is to say in addition to a radio career now podcasting for more than ten years.

Veteran Content Creator

Makes me a veteran content creator too.

Changes In The World Of Podcasting

Above all there’s been a lot of changes in the world of podcasting.

YouTube Too

Even more with the restart of my own YouTube channel there have been quite a few changes with me too.

Twists And Turns

Certainly it’s been an opportunity to follow the twists and turns driven by the podcast.

Personal Development

And the personal development that’s come with those twists and turns.

Radio Show

For example most of the early podcasts were a continuation of my radio show.

Evolution To The Deep

But very quickly evolved into deeper topics.

Travel and Adventure

Consequently moving out of the political social content toward travel and adventure.

Happier

And as a result much happier as a person.

Bette Davis

In the same vein it was the actress Bette Davis who famously said she never sought money but experience.

Labor Of Love

Similarly this has been a labor of love for me since the beginning.

Back Roads Rule

Moreover I have learned more about people in the United States on the road and on back roads than I ever could have in a radio or podcast studio back home.

Sublime

To sum up the nomad experience has been sublime for many reasons.

Joy Of Two Lanes

And here’s hoping the next 1100 podcasts reflect the joy of the two lane experience.

OffGrid-Freedom-Utah-Bob Davis Podcast-1067

OffGrid-Freedom-Utah-Bob Davis Podcast-1067

OffGrid Freedom Utah

Firstly OffGrid Freedom Utah isn’t about solar powered homes. OffGrid-Freedom-Utah-Bob Davis Podcast-1067 is about having no cell coverage and the actual freedom that results from being ‘OffGrid’.

Garbage Minds

Secondly the amount of garbage that our minds are filled with from these phones is epic.

Heavy Users

Above all I know because I am a heavy user of my device.

Thinking

And due to the fact that when I experience outages I’ve noticed I can think!

Listening

Even more I can actually hear myself think!

Revelations

So look for some internal revelations as the result of spending a lot of time with a boat anchor known as the iphone.

At least when you’re OffGrid in Utah.

Review

Consequently I took the opportunity to review the last year or so of travel.

Life Decisions

In addition I was able to review some life decisions.

Mega Trips A Thing Of The Past?

For example last year at this time I was in the middle of a mega trip.

To clarify up the west coast. Out through the upper mountain west. Down through the Midwest. Across the Great Lakes to New England. Back through Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and so on.

Granular Travel

On the other hand this summer’s travel has focused on Northern Arizona, Colorado and Utah.

OffGrid

That is to say I am way out in the deserts and mountains.

Even more down dirt roads and in primitive campgrounds or no campground!

Out Of Area

No cell service.

Freedom!

Subsequently no distractions!

Stories and Realizations

In short it’s great to think again!

And I have some stories and realizations to share in OffGrid-Freedom-Utah-Bob Davis Podcast-1067.

Modern Communications

Firstly I don’t think anyone really thinks about how influential modern communications can be.

The Wanting

Secondly as a result it’s the wanting that makes us all feel like we have and are less.

Certainly we don’t call it ‘the wanting’.

Manifesting

These days it goes by the name ‘Manifesting’.

Goals

Most importantly what happens when you ‘manifest’ right past your original goal?

What Do You Need?

Finally sometimes what you have is enough to do what you need.

Nomad-Decisions-Stories-Bob Davis Podcast 1046

Nomad-Decisions-Stories-Bob Davis Podcast 1046

Nomad Decisions and Stories

Above all my nomad decisions and stories are my own. They are not meant as judgements. Learn more in Nomad-Decisions-Stories-Bob Davis Podcast 1046.

Not Easy

Secondly nobody said it would be easy.

Certainly we nomads love to tell the story of how it all went down.

Review

Lately I have been reviewing my decision to get rid of everything and hit the road.

To clarify I do not regret that decision.

Anatomy Of A Decision

But I think the process of making the decision is interesting.

Even more I don’t think anyone is having an easy time with life these days.

Therefore the idea of discussing life changing decisions helps everyone.

And telling some nomad stories along the way.

Another Great Nomad Story

For example someone I met had rented a car, threw her stuff in it, and within three hours was on the road.

Forever.

She’s still driving the rented SUV.

“I’ll deal with that later”.

Action Is What’s Important

In the same vein Nomad-Decisions-Stories-Bob Davis Podcast 1046 is about the process of making a big decision and taking action on it.

Most importantly I don’t regret it.

No Best Practices

However I am not really sure if I used ‘best practices‘ in making that decision.

To sum up here, the main thing is it was a decision that was acted upon.

Pure Bliss

Certainly that led to pure bliss as I drove and drove across the country and back.

High Prices

On the other hand the current high price of fuel as me stopped down in the desert with a bunch of nomads in the same boat.

This too is a learning experience.

Finally where ever listeners and subscribers are..

No matter how hard it gets.

Choices and Decisions

We still have choices and we can still make decisions.

And take action.

In short every now and then I like to review and retell the story of how I got here.

In addition revisit what I consider success to be.

Nomad Definition of Wealth and Success

And what wealth looks like out here.

Sometimes that’s a hot shower and a good Internet connection.

And that’s OK.
