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.

For so many of our students, this program was the difference between “maybe one day” and 👉 actually hitting the trail on their first (of many) backpacking trips.

This is our final big enrollment of the year, and we’re going BIG with our best deals, daily bonus reveals, and epic giveaways.

Here’s why you’ll want to be on our Early Bird Waitlist:

→ You’ll receive a Sneak Peek Guide of all our prizes + bonuses as soon as you join.

And the best part? You’ll wrap up 2025 already locked into your 2026 Adventure Era — so when January hits, you won’t just be dreaming about adventure… you’ll be living it.
