In this episode, I sit down with Jake Bushman, host of The Human Adventure Podcast (formerly Journey with Jake), for a reflective conversation on growth, adventure, and the quiet emotional cost of creating something meaningful.

We talk about why the podcast began, how it evolved over hundreds of conversations, and what Jake has learned about fulfillment, stillness, and success after listening to so many life stories. We also explore the unseen pressures of consistency, creator guilt, and how hearing so many different timelines reshapes the way you view your own life.

This is a conversation about adventure beyond travel and what remains when the noise around productivity, momentum, and growth finally fades.
