The BUCKiT® lifestyle is about learning how to live life to the fullest while you still can. It’s about saying “BUCKiT” and swerving off the predictable road you’ve been following for years – on to a completely strange and bumpy path that will hopefully get you completely lost. On this week’s podcast I want to explore one of the 8 steps to living a BUCKiT® lifestyle. The 8 steps  Face Your Fear Test Your Limits Take a Leap of Faith Aim for the Heart Shed Your Inhibitions Break New Ground  Get Lost And… Rediscover Your Childhood  Nature designed kids to be alert, curious, imaginative and adaptable. Most importantly, they know how to have fun along the way.   Children tend to dive head-first into experiences without fear or judgment. Their eyes are wide open; observing, learning and absorbing. Changing your attitude starts with taking a closer look at the things you do or see every day and studying and admiring the smaller details as if you are experiencing them for the first time. With just a cardboard box a child can transform a mundane afternoon in the backyard into an intergalactic space mission with their own NASA rocket, discovering new planets and alien species. In adulthood, we tend to forget that we need our imaginations to achieve our wildest dreams. They help us discover which path to take and make the journey as extraordinary as possible. Over the past year I have talked to guests that embody this way of life. In this podcast we revisit Matt Iseman, comedian and host of Ninja Warrior, Dr. Mae Jemison, the first African American woman in space, and the hilarious Afghanimals, who competed in The Amazing Race three times.
