Ready to ditch the asphalt and hit the dirt? Here’s why you should enroll in an off-road course before you do: Think of it like swapping your office shoes for hiking boots; it’s all about having the right tools for the adventure. A proper off-road course doesn’t just keep you from spinning your wheels—it turns you into the trail-blazing, mud-slinging hero of your own weekend saga. Plus, it’s the only place where “getting stuck” means you’re doing something right, and where “taking the scenic route” involves a bit more than missing your freeway exit. Don’t let your 4x4 skills be as underused as that gym membership you got in January. Sign up for our course, and let’s put those driving skills to the ultimate test. After all, why should your vehicle’s all-terrain features have all the fun? Join us and become the off-road champion you were always meant to be. See you on the trails!

🏄♀️💦 Embrace the Wave: Discover the Joy of Stand-Up Paddleboarding 💦🏄♂️ Today, I’m excited to bring you along on a refreshing adventure that’s close to home yet feels like a slice of paradise. Join me as we explore the serene waters of Marina del Rey through the lens of one of the fastest-growing sports worldwide—stand-up paddleboarding. A decade ago, Jennifer Kirkley Vaughan brought this Hawaiian-born sport to our shores, opening a shop right here in the tranquil enclave of Mother’s Beach. What began as a niche activity has blossomed into a beloved pastime, gaining a surge in popularity as people sought new ways to stay active and connected with nature during the pandemic. Stand-up paddleboarding isn’t just about physical fitness—it’s about community, connection, and even companionship. From Deborah Deras, who turned to the sport as a gym alternative and found joy in sharing this activity with her dog, to Christina Rangel, who pursued her passion for whales by paddling closer to these majestic creatures, each story is a testament to the sport's transformative power. This sport offers something for everyone: Whether it’s paddleboarding with your furry friend, dressing up for a community paddle event, or simply enjoying a moment of tranquility on the water, it reminds us of the simple joys life has to offer. As a transformational life coach, I see paddleboarding as more than just a sport—it's a metaphor for life. It teaches us to balance, to adjust to the ebbs and flows, and to find peace amid the chaos of daily life. It's about finding your core strength, not just physically but mentally and emotionally. I invite you to watch this story and maybe even try paddleboarding yourself. It’s a wonderful way to clear the mind, challenge the body, and maybe even meet some sea lions along the way. Here’s to making waves in our own lives, finding our balance, and paddling towards tranquility. #StandUpPaddleboarding #MarinaDelRey #Wellness #Adventure #LifeCoaching #CBSKCAL

7 Lessons From a Gravel Bike Athlete Who would choose to ride a bicycle on a bunch of gravel? A lot of people. Gravel riding, where you ride long stretches of unpaved roads or paths in the middle of nowhere, is now a thing. For Steve Cope, an IT executive who works for a large electric utility, it’s a great way to socialize and decompress while pushing himself physically. I interviewed Steve for an article published in the Fall 2024 issue of Adventure World Magazine after he won his age category at this year’s Gravel Grinder National Championship & Mini G held in Bluemont, Virginia. Listening to Steve describe his experience was a reminder that—like most sports—gravel biking teaches many lessons that apply to business. Here are seven of these lessons.   1) Surround yourself with people who make you better.     2) Assess the situation and pivot when you need to. 3) Leverage your strengths. 4) Pay attention to small details. They matter more than you think. 5) Be willing to try new things.  6) Take care of yourself. 7) Keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities. Sometimes they show up unexpectedly. Congratulations to Steve on a great showing. Here’s the Adventure World article for those who might like to read it.
