Here’s Part 2 of my interview with my friend Aidan Loehr, a professional climbing guide and pilot. In this half of our discussion, we chat about:
- The fantasy vs. the reality of “adventurous” jobs
- Why he never thinks about changing the path he’s on (it’s not what you think)
- The “great moments” that make all the challenges of a non-traditional lifestyle worth it
- The challenges of living in a society that’s not set up for nomads
- The “bucket list” as a way of life
- The difference between being alone and being lonely
- The big difference between modern adventures and historic ones
- How to live a more adventurous life, no matter how you define that
- The importance of defining what makes you happy, what you want to do, and the difference
- Why any job, no matter how exotic, will eventually feel like work
- The sad truth behind adventurous people with “higher than though” complexes
- The benefits of having goals vs. expectations
If you missed Part 1, you might want to listen to that first.
