Let the Adventure Begin with Chris DenkerPivoting BackA little over six months ago, I decided to make a pivot in the podcast to focus my content on women my age and older. It didn't work out so well, and so I'm pivoting back to the original intent which is to provide examples of adventures in the areas of physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual health that more of us can relate to. However, I also wanted to talk about the book Women Rowing North by Mary Pipher, so here is that episode. It's a great resource for the women in your life who are of a...2025-05-0712 min

Let the Adventure Begin with Chris DenkerSit with ItSometimes it's hard to sit with our emotions, and yet, this is precisely what I'm asking us to do more of in our lives.

Let the Adventure Begin with Chris DenkerWhat Did I Do to Help Others Today?About a month ago, I started on a quest to hold myself accountable to doing something to help someone else each day.

Let the Adventure Begin with Chris DenkerWhat Is Enough for Me?I'm in my slow living era, and I was inspired to talk about financial freedom after reading Rosa Diaz-Casal's article, Attaining Financial Freedom through Slow Living. Finances have always been tough for me. When I was a kid, if I had money it burned a hole in my pocket. I spent it as fast as I got it. That didn't change into adulthood, but I'm starting to really thinking about how I'm spending my money and where I'm spending it. I want you to think about and answer this question confidently, "What is enough for...2025-01-2915 min

Let the Adventure Begin with Chris DenkerWherever You Go, There You Are While I am not advocating for another global pandemic, there was a sense of simplicity during that time that I long for.

Let the Adventure Begin with Chris DenkerWhat makes you feel alive?I recently read a book of essays by Nora McInerny titled, Bad Vibes Only (and other things I bring to the table). I found it at my public library after I picked up the book I put a hold on.

Yea, also, don't judge a book by its title.I loved it, and you can find...2024-12-1811 min $The Nate Brown Show | South Dakota\'s Sports Talk Show$ The Nate Brown Show | South Dakota's Sports Talk ShowCLICK HERE FOR SHOW LINEUP/FULL Nate Brown Show December 17, 202421:30- Brian Noe (FOX Sports Radio) 39:00- Mike McFeely (Columnist/Inforum) 1:21:45- Thor Nystrom (CFB & NFL Draft Analyst/Fantasy Life) 1:37:35- Chris Denker (netscoutsbasketball.com)2024-12-181h 56
