Episode 3: You Only Have One


Listen Later

We talk about what interests us about adventure and how it relates to the way we approach life. The goal is to encourage others to go do the things that they enjoy. Sometimes you just have to get started.

WHAT DOES ADVENTURE MEAN TO YOU?

  • Adventure can mean something different for everyone.
  • Make time for yourself and have fun

WHY DO YOU THINK A WHOLE SUMMER GOES BY AND YOU DIDN’T DO ANY OF THE THINGS YOU SET OUT TO DO?

  • It's very important to be INTENTIONAL about the things you want to do.
  • Make a conscious decision to just GET STARTED and try something new.

WHAT INFLUENCED YOU TO GO ON ADVENTURES?

IS ADVENTURE INFLUENCED BY MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY?  IS IT GENERATIONAL?  WHAT DID ADVENTURE LOOK LIKE TO OUR PARENTS? GRANDPARENTS?

HOW DO YOU BUILD YOUR LIFE AROUND ADVENTURE?

  • Pursuing careers that give us flexibility to do more of the stuff we enjoy outside of work
  • The value of work/life balance
  • Extremely grateful for our ability to do what we want to do and pursue the things we enjoy

LEARN ABOUT SOME OF OUR MOST MEMORABLE ADVENTURES

  • Steve runs the 2015 Honolulu Marathon and then goes right to the island of Kauai and hikes 26 miles on the Napali Coast with a complete stranger who he is still friends with today.
  • Jon ran the Tough Mudder in Rockford, IL and then hopped in the car with his friends and road tripped to Moab, UT for an unforgettable canoe trip.

BIGGEST RECOMMENDATIONS:

  • Find the people who want to do what you want to do. 
  • Join community groups (i.e. Running Club). 
  • Use Facebook or Meetup.com to find great groups in your area.
  • Traveling is so much more affordable with proper planning and budgeting.
