Inspiring At Any Age

So I follow a photographer named Chase Jarvis. Check him out, his work is amazing. Aside from still photography, he creates documentaries & films.  Here’s a wonderful snippet he made for an investment company.  The subject is Helen Thayer, and she’s quite an adventurer.  As a young girl, she climbed mountains with Sir Edmond Hillary (first Everest ascent). She has walked across deserts, climbed mountains over the world, walked across Antarctica, and even kayaked the Amazon River for her 70th birthday a few years ago.

What I love is that even at 72, she still calls on others for advice based on their experience. This story reminds me of a great adventurer and friend, Ed.  He’s never trekked to the North Pole or paddled the Amazon (to my knowledge). Instead of fading into retirement, he is doing stuff that is inspiring to many folks. For example he completed a list of 70 new things on the year he turned 70. He didn’t stop there, but has some great ideas on what to do before he turns 75. After you watch this clip of Mrs. Thayer, click on over to Ed’s blog at http://www.entritschler.blogspot.com
