Gavin McClurg is a professional paraglider, the first American to finish the Red Bull X-Alps, and National Geographic Adventurer of the Year. He’s a two-time round-the-world sailor and record-holding foot-launch pilot.

In this episode, we trace his path from ski racing in Tahoe to thirteen years at sea, where he built a global sailing and kitesurfing business. He survived hurricane-force winds off Cape Horn, shark-filled nights off Mozambique, and so much more.

A chance paragliding lesson then led him to set the North American distance record and become the first to cross the Alaska Range unsupported. He went on to race four editions of the Red Bull X-Alps and earned his NatGeo honor for a seamless Canadian Rockies traverse. Let’s dive in!

Risa Josephine, a ski resort dispatcher and adventure sports enthusiast, battled a brain tumor from age seven until her life-changing surgery at eighteen. She graduated from the University of Georgia, volunteered at the Jodie O’Shea Orphanage in Bali and then spent two years as a Peace Corps volunteer teaching English in Kyrgyzstan.

In our conversation she shares what it was like living with that tumor for over a decade, from daily seizures, migraines and partial vision loss to the gratitude and perspective it gave her. She also recounts the celebration of life party her friend’s parents threw before surgery, explains how she and her non-English speaking immigrant parents navigated the U.S. medical system, and reflects on making her own life-or-death decisions about where and how to operate. We dive into her decision to fund and run her own volunteer program in Bali, the cultural surprises of life in At-Bashy and her vivid memories of Kyrgyz customs that taught her more than any textbook lesson. Let’s dive in!

Today on the podcast, I spoke with Emma Wilson, a 22 year old solo travel coach and content creator who’s lived and worked in over ten countries across Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Caribbean. Originally from Oregon, Emma grew up with a traditional mindset and had never even considered traveling. But in 2022, she left college with little support, booked a one-way ticket, and set out to completely change her life!

Since then, she’s built a business helping women use solo travel as a tool for self-growth. Her work is all about intuitive travel, personal freedom, and choosing yourself first.

In this episode, we talked about what it was like leaving without approval, how she traveled affordably through Worldpackers, and why every destination brought her closer to who she really is. She shared her story of living in Puerto Rico for five months, volunteering in hostels across Europe, and going on a silent meditation retreat in Thailand. We also talked about travel magic, self-development, and what it means to design a life that feels aligned.

If you're curious about solo travel or thinking of making a change, you can sign up for a free solo travel coaching call with Emma or join her Portugal group trip in August 2025, linked below!
