I'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Robert Twigger. I’ve known Rob for several years now, and I’m a big fan of his books. He’s gone on some wild adventures in his life, and he’s written books about most of them.
In this episode, we discuss how adventure satisfies our need to do “childish” or childlike things. We also talk about how adventure can be an antidote to anxiety. I think you’ll find this episode both fascinating and inspiring—and I hope it gets you thinking about your next adventures.
