  • COLONEL MICHAEL FALLON│Life And War On Hill 119
    Aug 11 2025

    For this episode of The All-Around Adventure Podcast, I’m joined by Colonel Michael Fallon, a Vietnam-era Marine who served on Hill 119 near Da Nang during one of the most volatile chapters of the Vietnam War.

    Colonel Fallon began his journey with a calling to serve in the Marine Corps, ultimately completing a distinguished 33-year career in the infantry. During his time in Vietnam, he was assigned to Hill 119. A strategic outpost constantly under threat from the North Vietnamese Army and their elite T-89 Sapper unit. Today, he tells his story, and those of his fellow Marines, in his book Hill 119: Defending a Reconnaissance Marines’ OP, Vietnam, 1969–70.

    In this episode, Colonel Fallon recounts his path into the Marine Corps and the harrowing yet transformative experiences he faced on the front lines. He shares what daily life was like on Hill 119 with facing ambushes, defending the perimeter under constant pressure, and building unbreakable bonds with his fellow Marines. He also reflects on how, despite the brutality of war, his time in Vietnam became one of the greatest adventures of his life, filled with unforgettable moments and personal growth.

  • Why I’m Not Saving Antarctica For Last
    Aug 4 2025

    For years, my goal has been to set foot on all seven continents. And I always imagined Antarctica would be the final stop, the grand finale. But recently, I had a shift in perspective. I realized that if I believe it's the most epic destination on my list… then why not go now?

    In this episode, I reflect on what it means to stop waiting for the “perfect time” and start chasing your biggest goals today. I talk about my upcoming trip to the southernmost place on Earth. And why I'm choosing to lead with what excites me most, instead of saving it for later. If you’ve been putting something off for “someday,” this one’s for you.

  • Gratitude In The Gambia
    Jul 21 2025

    In this solocast, I reflect on one of the most transformative experiences of my life... my time spent in The Gambia as a Peace Corps Volunteer. During my service, I had no electricity. No running water. My toilet? A pit latrine behind my house. It was a life stripped down to the basics. And it taught me lessons that I still carry with me over a decade later.

    In this episode, I share how that experience shaped my perspective on gratitude, and why I believe we all need reminders to appreciate the simple things. Like waking up under a roof, drinking clean water straight from a tap, or flipping a switch and having light. If you want to live a more grounded, grateful, and adventurous life, this one’s for you.

  • The Power Of Saying No: How I Afford Adventure By Choosing Less
    Jul 7 2025

    In this solocast, I dive into one of the most overlooked tools for living a bold, adventurous life. The power of saying no. People often ask me how I afford to take big trips, like heading to Antarctica. All while living debt-free on a modest income. The answer isn’t complicated. I just say no.

    I talk about how turning down entertainment, eating out, and other everyday expenses adds up to something much bigger. And that is the freedom to chase the experiences that matter most to me. This episode isn’t just about budgeting. It’s about living with intention, setting priorities, and choosing the uncommon path.

    If you’ve ever wondered how to make space for more adventure in your life, this episode is for you.
