Authenticity Speaks Volumes: Jeffrey

Jeff and I met in 1991 when we were both living aboard small sailing vessels. He was a lone 30 year old man with a sense of playfulness aboard the Erma B, and I was a 10 year old girl living on Feather with my parents, sister, and 2 cats. Here, we discuss some pretty big stuff that has happened in our lives over the past 27 years, since we last spoke.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Losing a loved one to cancer

• "Having it all" compared to living a life of satisfaction

• Adventuring, outdoor activities

• Abstract art

• Successful career

• Fear of being a beginner

• Surprising yourself

• What winning looks like

• Coffee, yoga, weight training, rowing

• Importance of technique

• How to have a healthy beginner’s mind

• Long distance bike racing, sailing

• Staying on task

• Fighting the voices in your head

• Deciding, commitment and goals

• Commitment in relationships

• Blindness, working around chronic illness

• Tandem biking

• Paddling at night

• Resilience, gratitude

• Security versus struggle

• Life changing for the better

Jeffrey is not on social media, but if you ask nicely, I can probably put you in touch with him ;)
