Self Medicated Rec

For as long as I can remember I have been addicted to outdoor recreation. Biking, hiking, climbing, skiing, skating, hunting, fishing, camping, boating, you name it. Since I was two years old I have ben arranging my life to be playing outside as much as possible.

In 2019 the board of directors for the company where I work asked me to assume the top executive leadership position, as a six month interim position while I still worked my other full-time job. That position turned into 16 hour days, 6 1/2 days a week for 18 months.It was during the most difficult time in the company's history. The stress was intense. I was diagnosed with cancer twice. There was no time for anything but work. During that time I learned that we humans need hard work, time to play, strong faith, and life-long learning to thrive.

This channel is dedicated to people like me whose drugs of choice don't come in in a pill or bottle. Here's to you... all you self medicated recs! Go outside and play!
