Welcome To The Pursuing A Balanced Life Podcast!

Pursuing A Balanced Life PodcastThe Pursuing A Balanced Life podcast was originally launched in March of 2006 as the “My Crazy Life” podcast. The original concept was for this to be my, Cliff Ravenscraft’s, daily audio journal. It was simply a place for me to share my thoughts on any topics that were on my mind where I didn’t already have another podcast devoted to those topics.

In May of 2009, I made a decision, after nearly 400 episodes, to rebrand and rename the podcast to Pursuing A Balanced Life. Over the years, it became obvious, from the feedback I was receiving, that this podcast had become extremely inspirational to people as they followed me on my personal journey of finding a balance between my focus on my career, my desire to be a great husband and father, my desire to become more physically fit and healthy, and to live a life of faith. One of my favorite episodes of Pursuing A Balanced Life is episode 425 titled “Follow Your Passion And The Money Will Follow.”
