Today’s guest says being intentional about the planning adventurous moments in your life is just as important as practicing intentionality in your life in general.
Jon Levy’s new book is called The 2am Principle: Discover the Science of Adventure. In it he argues that adventures don’t happen by accident. Jon shares his EPIC Model of Adventure, a four-stage process for creating unforgettable experiences.
