What if your life was the greatest adventure story you ever told?
In this reflective episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I live (and teach) an adventurous life, not just on the trail, but every damn day.
These are the 3 personal rules I come back to again and again, whether I’m navigating a rainstorm in Scotland, reworking a route mid-backpacking trip, or chasing a goal that is outside my comfort zone.
In this episode, I share:
- Why “Do it for the plot” is one of my favorite life mantras
- The mindset shift that helps me embrace plot twists on the trail and in life
- Real examples from my own adventures
- How chasing a wild climbing goal transformed my confidence, joy, and identity
- A reminder that your adventures are about trust—not control
- Why growth (not perfection) is the point of it all
Whether you’re craving more adventure in your life—or just want to feel more alive and self-trusting again—this episode is for you.
