1KHO 449: An Adventure Doesn’t Occur Until There’s a Flop | Thom Barrett, Living While Dying
Podcast: The 1000 Hours Outside PodcastPublished On: Sun Mar 23 2025
Description: What if the “flops” in life are actually the beginning of the real adventure? Thom Barrett joins Ginny Yurich on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to share how a cancer diagnosis—and a midlife awakening—sparked decades of daring outdoor exploration. From falling off a 20-foot cliff in Colorado to kayaking with piranhas in the Amazon, Thom’s adventures are bold, raw, and deeply human. He opens up about building a DIY winter camper, adventuring with his daughters, redefining purpose in retirement, and how cancer shifted his entire view of living. This conversation is packed with humor, wisdom, and inspiration for anyone who’s wondering if it’s too late—or too scary—to begin again. Spoiler: It’s not. ** Learn more about Thom here Get your copy of Living While Dying here Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
