“As long as I keep on trying, you could never say that I failed.” - Johan Ernst Nilson
Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure is the environment explorer, motivational speaker, author, and eco-warrior, Johan Ernst Nilson. He has been a global adventurer for more than 20 years and a Guinness world record holder. Johan has embarked on a journey from the North Pole to the South Pole, has already climbed the Seven Summits, has flown a boat across Europe, cycled from Sweden to the Sahara Desert, and a lot more.
Johan has evolved into a big activist for the environment. He is also an advocate against global warming and poverty, and a staunch supporter of education in developing countries and of the protection of endangered species. Last year alone, in conjunction with his adventures, he has raised six million dollars.
You’ll love this episode where Johan, despite all the travelling, is energetic and super sharp, as he shares his great stories of adventure. He shares about the adventure, the business, the psychology, and the charity work involved in his explorations.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
How he evolved from simply going on adventures to becoming an activist
How he breaks down expeditions into three phases
Reasons why people are bothered in pushing through with their expeditions
Finding your “why” when going on adventures
Quotes:
“Maybe you can, but the question is: Should you?” - Johan Ernst Nilson
“We are intelligent, but are we wise?” - Johan Ernst Nilson
“Fear is a safety net. Being afraid is something very good.” - Johan Ernst Nilson
“As long as I keep on trying, you could never say that I failed.” - Johan Ernst Nilson
“Don’t be afraid because something is really hard, because people keep saying that things are impossible; the impossible just seeks more time.” - Johan Ernst Nilson
