The economy was tanking. Her job was changing. Budgets were being cut. She resented the new technology and social media she was being asked to embrace at work. In a word, she felt stuck.Cahns daughter encouraged her to try blogging, and after some thought, she decided to write about trying something new every day for a year. Little did she know, that 'Year of Firsts' would change her outlook on life.For 365 days Cahn made a point of doing something she had never done before, some as simple as performing an old task in a new way, some creative and extreme:Riding a mechanical bull Eating a scorpionSpeaking to a complete stranger on the streetSmoking a cigarShoveling horse manureZip-lining across a crocodile-infested Mexican lakeSpending a day in a wheelchairWalking her dog backwardsTaking a drum lesson from a famous 80s rockerIn the process she discovered that 'firsts' were the antidote to stuck. I Dare Me is Cahns journey, but it's more than just a memoir. It challenges listeners to confront their own fears, and encourages them to try their own 'firsts.'Contact: [email protected]
