I'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Brad Borkan. Brad was recently a guest on the show on episode 370 when we talked about How Outdoors Adventures Can Help You Make Better Decisions In Life. Last time, we discussed Brad's book When Your Life Depends on It. This time, we're discussing his latest release, Audacious Goals, Remarkable Results. I recently read the book and I was fascinated by the stories of three men who set massive goals and achieved them—and in doing so, left a legacy that went far beyond their own lifetimes into our modern world. So often, when we're reading stories of historical figures achieving great things, it feels so removed from our own, modern lives. Brad's book does a great job of pulling real-life lessons we can take away from these stories. And in this episode, he shares some of them with us. About Brad Borkan Brad Borkan has a lifelong interest in how people survive, and thrive, in almost impossible situations. Brad is co-author of the books, When Your Life Depends on It and Audacious Goals, Remarkable Results. Brad is an author and lecturer and has presented at business and Antarctic conferences, appeared on cable TV in the US, as a guest on podcasts and internet radio programs as well as a keynote speaker at a literary festival. Brad has travelled to all 7 continents. In 2019, Brad gave a guest lecture about his book on a 114 passenger “expedition” cruise to Antarctica. Originally from the US, and now based in London, Brad was honored to be made a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society.
