“People would always tell me that adventures happened by chance. But that didn't make any sense to me. Because if they did, all of us would live similarly exciting lives. And we don't.”
— Jon Levy

Greetings, SuperFriends!

So, I know this is confusing, but today, we are joined by Jon Levy – with a Y instead of an I – the author of The 2AM Principle: Discover The Science Of Adventure. Once a self-described nerd, today, he runs with the bulls in Pamplona, crashes million dollar weddings, takes a flight on average every 3 days, and is widely considered one of the top experts in adventure, with endorsements from many of the industry’s biggest names like Lewis Howes and Chris Bailey.

In this episode, we talk about Jon’s framework for seeking out and experiencing jaw-dropping adventures. As someone who considers “adventure” to be one of the 8 criteria for a balanced and happy life, and an avid adventurer myself, I was eager to figure out how Jon finds and chooses various adventure opportunities, and how he has turned something so seemingly random into a well-thought-out methodology. We talk about how to systematically create and find adventure, the difference between those two things, suggestions for building an incredibly exciting lifestyle, and much, much more.

This was a really incredible episode, guys. I learned a TON – and I know you will, too.

“I've hosted over 100 dinners across 8 cities and 2 countries… I look for ways to bring people together in unique experiences that will cause them to bond.”
“Your brain responds differently to new environments. It entices you to to explore and understand. And that opens you up to new experiences.”
