Please click here to 'Follow' the show - it really helps get the show to a wider audienceWhat if adventure wasn’t something distant or dramatic—but something you could claim this Saturday? David Haze, known as The Nomadic Paddler, believes that adventure isn’t about the epic—it’s about the everyday. In this episode, he reminds us that you don’t need to cross oceans to find purpose. You just need to get out the door.LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE HEREDavid’s own journey—from incarceration to becoming a world-record-holding paddleboarder—is steeped in transformation. But he’s quick to bring that idea down to earth. “Even a 5K walk can be an adventure,” he says. It’s about stepping out of your comfort zone and into something that reminds you you’re alive. Adventure, for David, is a way of living—not a destination.His pay-it-forward is deeply personal. David is an ambassador for Dorset Mind, a mental health charity doing essential work in the community—particularly with men, who still face barriers in opening up. David speaks openly about his own mental health journey and how getting outdoors has been key to his recovery. This isn’t just about raising funds. It’s about raising awareness, starting conversations, and creating space for healing. Stop waiting. That weekend you're vaguely thinking about? Make it this one. Reach out to a friend. Make a plan. Walk, paddle, cycle—whatever nudges you out of autopilot. Adventure doesn’t need to be big to be meaningful. As David puts it, “Through adventure, we live.”Resources & Guest Links:David Haze (The Nomadic Paddler):Website: nomadicpaddler.co.ukInstagram: @NomadicPaddlerYouTube: Nomadic PaddlerLinkedIn: David HazeDorset Mind: dorsetmind.ukLearn more: About Dorset MindDavid’s Fundraising & Events: Check his social platforms for updates on his Dorset coast paddle challengeSend us a textSupport the showThanks For Listening.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a comment and subscribe for more exciting content.
