info_outlineOur guest today is the adventurous Jon Levy (@JonLevyTLB), a renowned behavioral scientist, consultant, author, and keynote speaker, celebrated for his expertise in Influence and Social Experience. By delving into what he calls "The Science of Adventure," Jon has identified a consistent four-stage process that adventurous experiences follow, each stage marked by distinct traits that, when utilized, create thrilling experiences. This knowledge has established Jon as a leading authority on Adventure. In this conversation, we explore the essence of adventure, how Jon persuades people to buy his drinks all night, invites him into their homes, and journeys across the globe with him to undertake remarkable challenges.

Somethings to reflect on
- We are losing the essential skills that are passed from father to son as we are more and ore being raised by women - this can lead to us learning unsuitable methods for later life
- "Whatever is focal is causal" - we make it disproportionality important
- "We evolved sharing stories so if it's not worth sharing stories about then it's not culturally significant"
- An adventure should bring about growth - you should be a better person at the end of it but take calculated risks!
- Not everyone will have the same tolerance for risk and adventure but to grow and develop as a person, you need to work outside of your comfort zone, to live an entertaining and fulfilling life
- You should be chasing small goals to build a strong success feedback loop to help you achieve the next challenge - start small and build, find that comfort line and step over it
- "Your brain is wired for novelty" - Look at your missions and the constraints you set on it, challenge yourself to interact differently regardless if you are somewhere new or your local pub
- Build a community, not a network - make strong connections with one another
- What community do you care about that you would like to bring together?
