What if your next great adventure isn't out there waiting—but already inside you? In this recap episode, outdoor enthusiast and founder of the True North Project, Deon Barrett, joins us to remind us that adventure doesn’t need to be epic—it just needs to be honest.

Deon’s call to adventure is disarmingly simple: do the thing your heart’s already whispering about. We often ignore that nudge, especially when we don’t know the outcome. But as Deon puts it, “Most people toy with the idea—they just don’t act on it.” His advice? Think back to childhood. What did you love? Mountains, bikes, rivers, running in the woods? Chances are, those moments still hold the key to your joy.

You don’t need to summit Everest or cross continents to feel alive. Often, the boldest thing is choosing to follow what genuinely lights you up—even if it’s a walk, a climb, or a bike ride that reminds you of being ten years old. Don’t wait to be an expert. Don’t wait at all. And if you’re stuck? “Give Deon a buzz.”
