Welcome back to the Nash Potatoes Outdoor Show! This is actually my very first Mental Health Podcast.
The story I’m gonna share with you today, will allow you to listen as a podcast. But, if podcasts aren’t your thing, then you’re in luck, because…I’m gonna supplement my story with the beautiful video clips I recorded yesterday while hiking at Zapata Falls.
Anyway, let me give you a quick itinerary so you know what to expect:
1. My recent struggles.
2. The meaning of life.
3. My experience on the trail yesterday.
4. Some bonus ideas in regards to my current favorite supplements.
1. My recent struggles.
Sunday was actually the 16th Anniversary of my open heart surgery. This marks the anniversary of a time in my life when I had a mini-stroke, fell into a coma, and almost died. Since that time, my life has been full of struggles. I often wonder why God or The Universe or whoever decided to save my life…only to have me deal with all these struggles. It almost seems like a cruel joke…save my life only to serve me up a plate of crap day after day.
2. The meaning of life.
Isn’t it interesting that people have been searching for the meaning of life forever…and nobody has been able to come up with a definitive answer?
3. My experience on the trail yesterday.
I had been planning this hiking trip for a few weeks. Since my recent hike to Lake Como was unsuccessful, I was on a mission to complete this trail in its entirety. But, when I woke up yesterday, I was feeling tired and unmotivated. I actually didn’t feel like hiking at all. But, since the previous day was so rough, I knew I needed to get out into nature to clear my mind.
a. I only spent about 5 or 10 minutes at the waterfall and it completely energized me. I know there’s science on the benefits of being around water…and I think there’s even more science on how water in motion (or running water) is actually super healthy.
b. I had barely even hiked 1 mile…when ideas started arising in my mind. In a matter of just minutes, about 6 or 7 ideas popped up. For me, this typically signals that I’m excited about something…moving forward in life and not dwelling on past events.
c. At the very beginning of the trail, I had a rather important synchronicity (in regards to the problems I’m having with my builder). This put my mind at ease almost instantly!

ABOUT ME:
► I grew up in Kalamazoo, MI and graduated with a Marketing degree from Oakland University.
► I moved to Longmont, CO in November 2016 and fell in love with all the beautiful hiking trails that Colorado has to offer. So, in April 2012, the Nash Potatoes Outdoor Show was born.
► In November 2019, I took a 4-month camping trip in my pop-up camper. This gave me an opportunity to travel, explore, unwind, and create lots of great videos.
► In December 2020, I began recording a series of downhill skiing videos in Colorado. These quickly became popular and my passion for YouTube was re-ignited!
► I actually had so many great memories of my first camping trip that I decided to do another one. So, in April 2021, I converted a 12-foot enclosed trailer into a camper and documented the whole process.
► In June 2021, I reached 1,000 subscribers and was able to monetize my channel.
► By January 2023, I was already at 2,000 subscribers and counting!
► The Nash Potatoes Outdoor Show allows me to share all of my experiences with you. Join me on my adventure as I talk about life, laughter, exploration, and creating content for YouTube...enjoy!
