It is just us again, Whitney and Greg, back with another “What We’re Built On” conversation where we dive into the values that sit at the core of Vienna Waits. This time, we are talking about adventure.
Adventure is one of those words that can mean a lot of things: booking a retreat before you have ever even been to one, hopping on a plane to somewhere new, or simply saying yes to the unknown. For us, it is fueled by mountain bike races, half marathons, backcountry camping trips, and travels with our kids. It also shows up in smaller ways like trying something different for dinner or starting a conversation that scares you a little.
In this episode we explore the upside of adventure including building grit, resilience, stronger bonds, and a deeper sense of meaning. We also talk about the harder side, like how a restless spirit can sometimes create tension or make stability feel impossible. We share personal stories, research backed benefits, and examples from our community of people who are saying yes to bold, scary, or simply new experiences.
Whether adventure for you means moving across the world, picking up a new hobby, or just stepping off autopilot, this episode is about leaning into the unknown and seeing what it has to teach you.
