But after instructing Years 4-5 for about four years, he takes the plunge, setting out to walk 1100 miles around the perimeter of Wales. What begins as a nature adventure quickly becomes a test of both physical and mental strength. Along the way, Tom comes to realize bits about himself he never knew existed and learns that the most important things in life aren't items you buy, but rather loved ones, kindness, and the world around you- right where you are. Hear how his Welsh Wander grew into something much bigger than himself and is making a difference for people with Alzheimer's. Hear also from Earl who is 97 years young. He's a master mechanic, electrician, and a participant in a clinical trial on Alzheimer's. He remembers changing jobs at the start of WWII, riding horses in the mountains, and even hoisting an old teacher's Model-T onto the roof of a barn using ropes with his friends. In this touching interview, I talk with Earl, his daughter, and his grandson about life past, present, and why they care about helping those in the future. --------------------   Special thanks to Tom from Wales, Earl, and Earl's family for sharing their stories with the world.  Music: "The Zeppelin" by Blue Dot Sessions "Upbeat Whistle" by Dave Depper "Wholesome 3" by Dave Depper  "Wholesome 1" by Dave Depper "Stars Collide Instrumental Version" by Josh Woodward  "June" by Kai Engel "Looking for That Moment When Time Stands Still" by Will Bangs  "Losing Love" by Dexter Britain  "The War In My Head" by Dexter Britain

"Steve from New Jersey" is an organic chemist who enjoys the stability his career provides. But he's literally the guy waiting for the weekend because, at night, he's a DIY basement venue operator with several housemates. That lifestyle is no stranger to opposition, is often misunderstood, and actually spans nationwide (and possibly beyond?). Steve must face the struggle of passion versus responsibility to ultimately rationalize and justify his pursuits. Will it be gratitude and comfort or independence and purpose that win out? Or, will the chemist and DIY roles leave Steve unable to support one without the other? ------------------------------ Like the show? Please review on iTunes! http://itunes.careerdayshow.com.
