Live Boldly: Why a Large Life Beats a Long One Every Time

Hey there,

In this unscripted episode of The Adventure Reignition Podcast, I’m diving into a concept that’s been on my mind: Would you rather live a large but short life or a long but narrow one?

This episode was sparked by reflections during a recent run and the milestone of turning 35. I’ll take you on a journey through the pivotal moments that shaped my perspective on living adventurously and embracing life fully—moments that taught me the value of risk, discomfort, and living authentically.

I dive deep into:

• The three main reasons why most people settle for a narrow life—and how to break free.
• Personal stories of transformation, like quitting my job to travel the world, skydiving, and biking across Switzerland.
• How reflecting on life’s fragility can inspire bold and meaningful decisions.
• Practical tips to help you slow down, uncover your core values, and align your life with your passions.

This episode is for anyone seeking more depth, aliveness, and purpose in their journey. If you’re ready to embrace adventure and take risks for a life that excites you, this one’s for you.
