Have you ever felt the rush of conquering a new challenge, where the unfamiliar becomes a thrilling playground for growth? Join us as we, alongside guests Michelle Maikoetter, Suzanne Wright, and Mike Wilhelm, swap tales from the frontier of leadership and the great outdoors, revealing how pushing past personal boundaries can lead to unexpected discoveries about ourselves. We navigate through our diverse reactions to stepping off the beaten path, from the call of wild camping to the comfort of well-trodden trails. Throughout this episode, we unpack the necessity of safety in our pursuit of adventure.
As we venture further into the conversation, the focus shifts to the integral role of adventure in shaping young minds. Through the heartening story of a Boys Ranch youth transformed by the simple act of riding a horse, we delve into the essential ingredients for fostering courage in the next generation: supportive adults, the space to opt in or out, and the beauty of belonging. Hear how creating a stable launchpad from which children can leap towards their own adventures is not just about aligning with their interests, but also about instilling the confidence to explore. This episode promises to be a compass for parents and leaders aiming to inspire a bold spirit of exploration in those they guide.
