Finding fulfillment and happiness at the ends of the earth with Hannah Thornton


Explore, Learn and Transcend…guiding values that Hannah Thornton has etched on herself as a constant reminder of how to live.  There is wisdom from experience in this conversation so pay attention.  Hannah has packed her 30 years as she explores the far reaches of the globe.  I am both inspired by this conversation and in awe at her drive to continue exploring.

But her global explorations are simulatneously self explorations, and Hannah is very open and honest about what she hopes to find in herself as she pushes to the literal ends of the earth.  What can one find by cave diving to an ancient sacrificial alter in South America or running with a stampede of reindeer in Alaska?  Only interesting things, I promise.  I hope you enjoy the conversation…this was a fun one.

Turning suffering in to a super power with Van Fletcher


Welcome back to the On Adventure Podcast.  So Van Fletcher…Van is one of the smartest, most focused and reslilient person I have ever met.  Like my last guest, Van and I go way back but he told me things in today’s conversation that I had never heard.  If you have ever met Van, you know he is a legend and a force of nature.  This is obvious.  What is not so obvious is the intense suffering that he has indured…not just once, not even twice, but multiple times.  But Van hasn’t wasted his suffering.  He keeps getting up and taking the next step.  In fact, I think it is part of his super powers.

You are in for a real treat today.  You can find Van in Instagram here or his company page here.
