164: Scared to Life with Jake Ducey
At 19 years old, Jake Ducey - a teenage surfer in california - abandoned a drug-addled college education to find out what else, what more, might be waiting for him out there.
What it was that waiting was a book he would go on to write called Into the Wind: My Six Month Journey Wandering the World for Life’s Purpose.
The travel experience effected him so deeply that he promptly returned to raise funds for an orphanage and school in Guatemala, and launch a motivational speaking career to help young people find self-reliance in an increasingly connected society and world.
Now he’s just released, his latest book The Purpose Principles, all about drawing more meaning into your life.
With travel at the core of Jake’s message, I thought I’d bring him on the show to discuss how you can take your curiosity and creativity and find transformation in life, on the road, and off.
A quick preview:
Travel helped Jake find a purpose to give up a scholarship and overcome a background in drug addiction.
A potentially near-death experience while hiking with locals in Lombok, Indonesia gave Jake the epiphany he needed.
The role a shaman played in his life while living in Guatemala and the inspiration Jake draws from his example.
