018 | How Adventure Saved Me From Myself

The Brave Monkeys Speak | Adventure and the Science of Stoked

Depression has been described as like being trapped in a deep dungeon to which you have the key, but never think you can look for it - or from which you can climb out, but you don't believe you can do it. This is Garrett's story of using adventure to begin to climb out of those depths - both metaphorically and literally.

019 | Passionately Mediocre with Brendan Leonard

Brendan Leonard is the author of The New American Road Trip Mixtape and writes enthusiastically about things regular folks can do at Semi-Rad. Semi-Rad is what can be done with 52 weekends and a few weeks of vacation a year. It’s adventures for the everyman and woman. It’s a web site for those of us crushing it, kind of.
We had a conversation about the struggles of finding work you love, his creative process, and the awesomeness of being passionately mediocre.
Check this sample of his writing out - I have watched this approximately 8,000 times in the last month since I first saw it. But warning: be prepared to be inspired...
Next week, we'll discuss his book and finding the New American Dream. For now, tune in to Episode 019: Music by Jeff Mallon provided by Mevio's Music Alley!
