“As long as I keep on trying, you could never say that I failed.” – Johan Ernst Nilson
Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure is the environment explorer, motivational speaker, author, and eco-warrior, Johan Ernst Nilson. He has been a global adventurer for more than 20 years and a Guinness world record holder. Johan has embarked on a journey from the North Pole to the South Pole, has already climbed the Seven Summits, has flown a boat across Europe, cycled from Sweden to the Sahara Desert, and a lot more.
Johan has evolved into a big activist for the environment. He is also an advocate against global warming and poverty, and a staunch supporter of education in developing countries and of the protection of endangered species. Last year alone, in conjunction with his adventures, he has raised six million dollars.
You’ll love this episode where Johan, despite all the travelling, is energetic and super sharp, as he shares his great stories of adventure. He shares about the adventure, the business, the psychology, and the charity work involved in his explorations.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- How he evolved from simply going on adventures to becoming an activist
- How he breaks down expeditions into three phases
