#71 - Last weekend I participated in former Navy SEAL Chadd Wright and his 3 of 7 Project's Rite of Passage Mission. What is it? 24 hours of non stop movement, hiking through mountain trails of northeast Georgia. There are three simple rules - move, drink, eat. Very simple - but simple isn't easy.

I enjoy stepping out of my comfort zone to keep things fresh and interesting and to challenge myself. It was such an amazing experience! On this episode, I'm going to lead you through it so that you can decide if it is something that you are interested in participating in.
