Published: Aug. 14, 2018, 9:30 a.m.

b"An interesting question that I think about a lot: how do you balance exploring the new with savoring what you already know and love? Most of the time I prefer to explore, but the best part of this podcast experience for me has been meeting people who become close friends. For episodes 99 and 100, I\\u2019m bringing back two of the most popular past guest who are both now dear friends.\\xa0\\n This week\\u2019s episode is split into two parts, today and tomorrow. Today\\u2019s episode is with Boyd Varty and tomorrow is with both Boyd and his sister Bronwyn. The incredible Varty family hosted me in South Africa, so you\\u2019ll hear birds and elephants in the background as we talk.\\xa0\\n This conversation with Boyd is about our shared experience called \\u201ctrack your life\\u201d which I couldn\\u2019t recommend more highly. We tracked animals on foot for five days, and learned a lot from the environment itself. While we discuss our time together, this is much more about how to live. My original conversation with Boyd had a huge impact on me, and this continues the exploration of Boyd\\u2019s idea that we should all be going our own way, in the right way, instead of simply following well trodden paths.\\xa0\\n I hope you enjoy this conversation with Boyd and check back tomorrow for another conversation with the Vartys.\\xa0\\n For more episodes go to InvestorFieldGuide.com/podcast.\\n Sign up for the book club, where you\\u2019ll get a full investor curriculum and then 3-4 suggestions every month at InvestorFieldGuide.com/bookclub.\\n Follow Patrick on Twitter at @patrick_oshag\\n \\xa0\\n Show Notes\\n 1:55 - (First Question) \\u2013 Encounter with five wild dogs\\n 10:19 \\u2013 The idea of a perfect day on the track\\n 15:59 \\u2013 The importance of silence\\n 19:42 \\u2013 Why we could all benefit from the power of silence\\n 21:37 \\u2013 Side effects of being on the track\\n 23:49 \\u2013 Following the smaller paths\\n 25:20 \\u2013 How culture can keep us from forging our own path \\xa0\\n 29:34 \\u2013 The stress he puts on the watch at night\\n 33:34 \\u2013 The power of going from alert to rest and back again\\n \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 35:11 \\u2013 Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers\\n 38:25 \\u2013 Disconnecting from the modern world and reconnecting with your life\\u2019s purpose\\n 41:42 \\u2013 How much does skill play into finding your life\\u2019s calling\\n 43:23 \\u2013 Common objections to what they do\\n 49:58 \\u2013 Importance of end of day on the track\\n 52:33 \\u2013 Silence and feeling of thousands of years of time passing through hallucinogenic\\n 56:22 \\u2013 His experience with bees\\n Learn More\\n For more episodes go to InvestorFieldGuide.com/podcast.\\xa0\\n Sign up for the book club, where you\\u2019ll get a full investor curriculum and then 3-4 suggestions every month at InvestorFieldGuide.com/bookclub\\n Follow Patrick on twitter at @patrick_oshag"
