"I shall be telling this with a sigh, somewhere ages, and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost
For many of us, America has become a road worn weary with the footsteps of those who came before us. We spend much time on our phones, watching TV, escaping into a video game, or mindlessly scrolling the internet searching for emotional stimulus. It almost seems that many of us never consider the world outside our front door.

Within the Great Outdoors lies a fascinating and essential part of our world. The vast and diverse landscape surrounding us provides sustenance, clean air, water, and even shelter. Research, published in January 2020 by Frontiers in Psychology, has shown that spending time in nature can reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood, boost creativity, and increase energy levels. As little as ten minutes of sitting or walking in a diverse array of natural settings significantly and positively impacted defined psychological and physiological markers of mental well-being. Medical benefits exist as well. Being outdoors can improve cardiovascular health, and reduce the risk of a multitude of chronic diseases. Despite all of these benefits, our modern, and fast-paced lives often provide the perfect excuse to forget how important nature really is.

Joining us in episode 87 of the Wolf and Bull podcast is our friend and 2-time American Ninja Warrior National Finalist, Adventure Host, Wildlife Expert, and Conservationist, Anthony Porter. We had the pleasure of speaking with him about his experiences as an outdoor expert and professional athlete, how ethical and effective environmental initiatives can make the world a better place, and how venturing off the beaten path, onto a road less traveled, can benefit all of us.
