Podcast Hosts of The Latitude Adjustment. Our Award-Winning Book: “A Guide for Aging Heroes” is available now. Aging heroes have the mettle to rail against the confines of conventional attitudes. We embrace opportunities to create meaning in our lives and to improve the lives of others. Prisoners to the social constructs of modern culture are completely unaware that the key to freedom is always within reach. That key is the nerve to step out of assigned roles and live authentically. In a world so often governed by fear and negativity, aging heroes gaze on the future with confidence, enthusiasm, and wonder.

Welcome to The Whole Damn Story

Our Patreon companion to The Latitude Adjustment where we stop trimming the story down into a neat little metaphor and finally tell it the way it actually happened.

On our main show, you get the clean thread: The version that fits the message, the runtime, and polite society.

Here, you get the uncut, unfiltered edition, complete with detours, side characters, and that sacred moment when someone says, “We’ll be fine,” while reality pulls up a lawn chair and goes, “Bet.”

These aren’t outtakes.

These are the missing scenes.

The backstory, the context, and the full chain of choices that led to: “Please don’t tell my mother.”

If you love the stories behind the lessons, or you just want the honest, hilarious, occasionally unhinged truth, this is where it lives.

So pour something strong.

The map is still the map…but now you get the coffee stains, the panic scribbles, and the part where they got lost and called it “adventure.”

Welcome aboard.

SNEAK PEEK 👀
You asked. A lot. Like… an ocean of asks. 🌊

So we listened, because pirate democracy still counts around here. ⚓️

A few months back, we teamed up with a local maker and started crafting the exact merch our Aging Heroes and Latitude Adjustment crew kept asking for. 🌴

Here’s a little sneak peek at just a couple of the goods dropping in our online shop this week.

Crew loot is coming.

Stay tuned… and maybe clear some space in your drawer. 😏
