#64 RedBull Quicksand - How to go about Epic Deeds: Chaxy & Ken Uduny

Major focus on the episode was inspired by the RedBull event scheduled to happen on 12th December 2021 in Diani, where the team discussed about the balancing act between being in the, moment and being in control - or as Jamal calls it; relinquishing control. The team was graced to have in our new studios: Ken Uduny from Baobab Beach Resort and Chaxy, organizer from RedBull; mavericks who mastered the dance, in the improvisation world of having fun. They expounded on 'present awareness' which demands that Kenyans should forget all their preconceptions about Why, How and Where to have fun and completely drop their egos as they focused on the beach event at Kongo sands. The most scary of things has so far been the 'new normal', where the discussion took lead by stating the things you can control vs those you cannot; and sticking in between the two extremes, by letting go especially when you are a peoples pleaser. The Village Elder dis shade light on understanding of what we choose to respond to and what we control especially during these emotional times of lockdowns. Experiencing new sensations, breaking routine, enhancing self control capacities and pushing ones limits was seen as one of the elements that are increasingly becoming attractive to those who choose extreme sporting; highlighting on the fact that such sports on the basis of practice, acquires experiences and confidence, which in turn gradually reduces the perception of risk. This subjective assessment by the guests and the team on the risk results in an underestimation of objective risk. This episode underlined the benefits of extreme sports to be that of psychosocial determinant in influencing decision making, in search for freedom in extreme sports; while also balancing bureaucracy in the tourism sector and manning the egos of those who call the shots in the industry in marketing Diani as a tourism destination.
