Summary

Alastair Humphreys returns!!!!! In this exciting sixth appearance on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, Alastair Humphreys, joins host Ginny Yurich to discuss his latest book, Against the Odds as well as his book Ask an Adventurer. This episode dives deep into the stories of 20 great adventurers who encountered failures and the lessons learned from their journeys. Plus, be inspired to live a creative life and walk your own path. Alastair redefines failure, highlighting that true adventures often deviate from plans and the possibility of failure is an inherent part of the adventure itself. He shares personal insights on living a life outside the box, balancing the romanticism of adventure with the reality of behind-the-scenes work. From his economical world tour to life lessons inspired by Henry David Thoreau, Alastair offers practical advice on living frugally to maximize freedom and time. He emphasizes the importance of being motivated by passion rather than money and the value of trying new things, even as adults. Alastair also explores the vulnerability of embracing new challenges, the joy of being a beginner, and the importance of efficiency in his current adventures. He touches on the power of reading, the randomness of an adventurer's life, and how to focus on controllable aspects while letting go of what can't be controlled. Tune in to gain inspiration from Alastair's two decades+ of incredible experiences, learn how to integrate adventurous living into daily life, and discover why failing is just another step towards success. This episode is a must-listen for anyone living a creative life and chasing their own path. ** Get your copy of Alastair's book Against the Odds here Get your copy of Ask an Adventurer here Learn more about Alastair here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.
