Episode 91 How to Balance Your Love of Backpacking with Your Love of Family with Dan Kriesberg

What happens when you realize you love backpacking adventures as equally as you love being present for your family? You feel the call of the mountains, but you also feel the call to see your kid play in a soccer game. You love them equally so you’re forced to either choose one over the other or find a balance.

On this episode, Dan Kriesberg joins me to explore this internal struggle we all experience at one time or another. Dan is a family man, but he’s also full of adventures that he NEEDS in his life. He’s been backpacking his entire life and on this episode, offers his thoughts on how to strike a balance of the two.
