Episode 5 brings home the deep conversation many have been waiting for. We welcome our second guest Kelly Robbins and dive right into a very thought provoking and perhaps even life altering dialogue about nihilism, Kelly overcoming his battles with mental illness, challenging your mind, and most importantly killing off negative thoughts that prevent self-growth. This episode will hopefully push many of us to improve ourselves and to make sure we value our time to do good things for the people we care about. No one is getting off this rock we call Earth alive. Embrace the moment, fix yourself now, and let the bad thoughts die. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thepathfinderphilosophy/message

Are you scared of doing something you really want to? Tired of fear paralyzing your every move? Well look no further. In our fourth episode "Overcoming Fear" we welcome our first official guest on the podcast, Austin Stanley, where we discuss the concept of fear and his battle to overcome his fear of heights. Taking on this fear allowed him to skydive, climb a mountain, and even get on the roof to put of Christmas lights. Essentially, we hope to encourage everyone to overcome their fears in a healthy way so you don't miss out on great experiences you could've had because you played the "what if" game. Tune in and remember to put fear aside! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thepathfinderphilosophy/message

The third installment of "The Pathfinder Philosophy" will cover a variety of topics from bear facts/safety, places to explore in the Smoky Mountain's National Park, and of course a more deeper involved discussion about refraining from comparing oneself to others. The topics don't quite relate, but its all about finding your own path right? Plus, we aren't about going with the status quo anyway. So "bear" with us through this podcast all the way to the end. It will be worth it.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thepathfinderphilosophy/message
