Everyday Adventures: Finding Wonder Right Where You Are

What would your life look like if you decided to add a little adventure?
In this first episode of a new series I'm producing about Adventure, I sit down with my old friend James Estes. James has this gift for finding wonder in the ordinary—whether it’s taking a different route to work, walking his neighborhood like a tourist, or saying yes to the unknown.

We talk about:

• Why adventure doesn’t have to be epic to be meaningful
• The Helen Keller quote that guides his approach to life: “Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all”
• How fear can be the very place adventure starts
• Simple ways you can create adventure in your own everyday life

This conversation reminded me that adventure isn’t just a destination. It’s a way of looking at the world.
