Happy Labor Day! Ever wondered how our US presidents balance work and rest? Did you know Joe Biden spends 40% of his time on non-work-related trips outside of DC? Compare this to Donald Trump’s 26%, and Jimmy Carter’s minimal 5% (the least among all US presidents), and it sparks a conversation on the ideal work-rest ratio. Tune in as we discuss what this means for us and our leaders, and whether a happy medium is possible.

Now, let's shift gears and discover how staying active takes on a new dimension with Mark Furman, a 65-year-old adventurer who completed a phenomenal 6,800-mile kayak tour from Canada to Florida without taking a single day off. His awe-inspiring journey, spanning 68 grueling days and 1,643 hours, had one goal – to raise money for Doctors Without Borders and Captains Without Borders. Don’t miss out on this fascinating story that exemplifies the power of endurance and dedication. Happy listening!
