106: Jon Levy 4 Ingredients to Create a Successful Adventure
b"The scope of your life, the size of it, is in direct proportion to how uncomfortable you\\u2019re willing to be.\\nToday on the show I\\u2019m talking to returning guest Jon Levy, who has just come out with a book about the science of adventure. Last time Jon was on the show we talked about his influencer dinners, and how to bring people together. This time, we\\u2019re talking about something completely different: the science of adventure.\\n\\nBeing an adventurer myself, I love this subject, and Jon has some great stories to share from his travels around the world. Listen in as he breaks down the four ingredients that make a successful adventure and what makes it memorable. I think part of why I connect to this topic so much is that going on a successful adventure is all about creating your moments, taking initiative, which translates into the process of creativity. So in addition to talking about traveling and adventure, we also talk about using these same ideas to break out of ruts and inspire creativity.\\nIf you\\u2019re with a great group, they can make a terrible event amazingly fun, and vice versa.\\n\\nSome things we learn in this podcast:\\n\\n \\tWhen Jon Levy became interested in social interactions [4:45]\\n \\tThe characteristics of adventure [6:25]\\n \\tThe importance of constraints [10:00]\\n \\tWhat are four stages of adventure [19:50]\\n \\tYou are the people you surround yourself with [23:40]\\n \\tWhy traveling pushes you [26:25]\\n \\tThe importance of setting goals [26:55]\\n \\tWhat is the winner effect [29:30]\\n \\tThe relationship between the scope of your life and how uncomfortable you\\u2019re willing to be [36:30]\\n\\nLinks mentioned:\\n\\n \\tGet Jon's\\xa0book The 2 AM Principle: Discover the Science of Adventure\\n \\tLearn about the Influencers Dinner and listen to Jon's previous episode\\n \\tRead Originals and\\xa0Give and Take by Adam Grant\\n \\tRead The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwarz\\n \\tMusic Credit: Love You by CRVCK JVCK\\n\\nConnect\\xa0with Jon\\xa0Instagram\\xa0|\\xa0Twitter\\xa0|\\xa0Website"
