On this week's episode of the podcast I got to sit down in my back yard and enjoy a conversation with one of my best buddies Brandon Swett.Brandon was previously on episode 9 of the show discussing his experience at a 10 day silent meditation retreat (I highly suggest you check out that one!)  This week we chat about a wide variety of topics: Heroism, Swimming, Canoeing in Maine, and why I can't watch horror films.  We also chat about one of the many things that make us both exactly like Indiana Jones- our fear of snakes.I hope you guys enjoy this episode as much as I did! After recording Brandon looked at me and said "that was a random smorgasbord of topics...." and I high fived him!  After weeks and weeks of picking people's brain for running tips in the lead up to my stage race (two weeks away!!!!) it was such a stress reliever for me to just hang out and catch up with a friend. EXTRAS: Also at the end of the podcast during the Outro I recommend an adventure book and crazy sports documentary that absolutely blew my mind!! Make sure you listen for that if you're looking for something good to read or watch on Netflix.MORE FROM BRANDON:Previous Like a Bigfoot Appearance: https://soundcloud.com/chris-ward-126531464/like-a-bigfoot-9-brandon-swettMORE LIKE A BIGFOOT:Subscribe and Review on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/like-a-bigfoot/id1160773293?mt=2Soundcloud Archives: https://soundcloud.com/chris-ward-126531464Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/likeabigfoot/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/likeabigfoot/

#96: Brandon Swett 2 -- Why We Are Terrified of Snakes and a Bunch More Random Topics

This week's episode was absolutely fascinating to me.  When I heard that my buddy Brandon Swett went to a 10 day silent meditation retreat, my first response was "He did WHAT??"  Brandon had never come across to me as the kind of person who would participate in something so outside the box.  Over the past two years he has completely challenged his old mindset and is studying meditation on his way to a greater self awareness.  The retreat played a huge role in his life.Many people have dabbled into meditation, me included, but very few have experienced the intensity of a 10 day silent retreat.  And damn did it sound intense!I was curious to hear all about the intensity of Brandon's adventure, the physical, emotional, and mental journey completely eliminating distractions for 10 days took him on, and the life lessons he has welcomed into his life.I'm so happy Brandon was willing to open up, share and really get raw about the ups and downs he has experienced.  This one goes deep.  In fact, this is probably the deepest conversation Brandon and I have ever had; one of the many reasons I am enjoying doing this podcast every week.Enjoy!
