A friend recently asked my if I had an episode that looked at what exactly adventure is. I’ve spoken about this all over the world and on dozens of other podcasts, and now I want to share with you some things I have discovered.

About two years ago I decided to become the world leading expert on adventure. Besides going on adventures myself, I have interviewed and read the works of history’s greatest adventurers. This episode is a collection of thoughts about adventure and the many different aspect of what make adventure. Enjoy!

• Gaining new experiences and memories
• Changing ourselves for the better
• Achievement and getting comfortable with failure
• Story and telling good ones so we can inspire others
• The inner monologue we have during sruggle
