This week I sat down with Jian Wong Yen, the founder of Cold Nips and a true social entrepreneur who has built one of Australia's largest and most inspiring wellness movements.We dive into Jian's upbringing and personal journey to creating a community that's not just about cold water dips, but about connection, resilience, and fun. He opens up about the lessons he's learned along the way, and how small actions can create big ripples in culture and wellbeing.One of my favourite parts of this chat is when Jian shares the wild adventure he had with his girlfriend — hitchhiking across Europe for months on just 10 euros a day. The stories are hilarious, humbling, and remind us that joy and growth often come from living simply and saying yes to the unknown.This episode is a mix of entrepreneurship, adventure, and community building — and it's full of practical takeaways and entertaining stories that will leave you inspired to lean into life a little more.We talk about:Jian's upbringing and what shaped his entrepreneurial spiritThe story behind starting Cold Nips and how it grew into a massive wellness movementWhy cold water and community go hand-in-hand for mental healthHis hitchhiking adventure across Europe with just €10 a dayLessons in simplicity, resilience, and creating impactIf you enjoy this episode, make sure to share it with a friend who loves adventure and wellness ✨Follow Jian COLD NIPSINSTAGRAM

Marc Cosbey, aka Uncle Coz, Cozmo, Sharkey, is the kindred spirit of the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship, and one of its co-founders. Born in the early 1950's, Coz left home at 17 years old and never looked back, living a free-spirited life of adventure from exploring the American West to sailing around the world on everything from old pirate ships to the most advanced Americas Cup racing boats. In this first episode of a multi-part series with Coz, we chat about his youth in Southern California during the birth of surfing, working in the Utah oil fields as a roughneck, a three-week backpacking trip through the Shoshone Wilderness of Wyoming where he accidently set his face on fire, hitchhiking and getting picked up by gun-toting thieves, building and racing Americas Cup sail boats and surviving a five-day winter storm in the Pacific Ocean on a 1910 Baltic Trader, an adventure that he thought would be his last. 3:00 – Recording from the Downieville Classic.5:30 – Introducing Marc “Coz” Cosbey aka Uncle Cozmo.10:30 – DOPE or DERP – Hot Tubs.14:10 – Part One of Cosbey Chronicles – Growing up in 1960s California, Traveling the West, Backpacking, Hitchhiking, Boat Building and Sailing.17:30 – Growing up in Newport Beach, California in the 1950s and 1960s, early days of surfing.20:10 – Leaving home at 17 years old and started surveying for oil.24:10 – What was Moab, Utah like in the early 1970s?27:10 – Cody, Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park in the early 1970s.28:00 – Backpacking from Cody to Jackson, Wyoming through the Shoshone Wilderness, accidentally burning down their tent and burning up his face and hands.38:00 – Hitchhiking and getting picked up by guys who just robbed a convenience store.42:58 – Do you ever pick up hitchhikers or Pacific Crest Trail hikers?47:30 – Spending a winter skiing in Mammoth Lakes in the mid 1970s.50:30 – Moving to Oahu, Hawaii to live on Waikiki and Ala Wai work on boats, surf and wind surf in the 1970s.54:00 – Spending months sailing across the Pacific Ocean on the Lord Jim sailing ship.59:30 – Finding the section of an old NASA rocket floating in the open ocean, then a killer whale follows next to them riding down a giant swell.1:02:30 – Refinishing a 12 meter sailing race boat for an America's Cup team in 1986 for Tom Blackaller and competing in 1987 America's Cup in Australia.1:15:35 – Sailing a real pirate boat built in 1910 from Alaska to San Francisco and the closest Coz ever came to perishing at sea in a 5-day storm.1:26:10 – Delivering a super high end sail boat across the Atlantic and receiving a mayday call about a captain who was lost at sea with clients stuck on the boat.

What happens when you put your thumb out and trust America? Luke Whyte is finding out as he hitchhikes across the country, documenting conversations with strangers in an ambitious project to bridge our growing cultural divides.With years of hitchhiking experience spanning multiple continents, Luke brings a unique perspective to understanding human connection. His current journey is motivated by a troubling observation: Americans increasingly live in digital bubbles that amplify our differences while obscuring our shared humanity. By hitchhiking between rides with strangers from all walks of life, he creates a space for genuine connection that transcends political boundaries.The stories Luke shares during our conversation are both harrowing and profound. From nearly being murdered by a meth-addicted ex-convict to accidentally joining a drug smuggling operation in Central America, his adventures reveal the extraordinary situations that arise when you open yourself to the unknown. Yet despite occasional danger, Luke's experiences overwhelmingly demonstrate people's fundamental decency.Perhaps most surprising are Luke's insights about who stops to help strangers. Middle-class Americans prove most likely to offer rides, while both the extremely wealthy and those in severe poverty tend to pass him by—though for very different reasons. These patterns reveal deeper truths about trust, empathy, and community across American society.Luke's journey isn't just outward exploration but also personal healing. He candidly discusses his struggles with substance abuse, which developed while working remotely for a high-pressure tech startup. His current project provides space for reflection while creating meaningful connections that counteract the isolation of modern life.Follow Luke's ongoing adventures through "American Awe" on Youtube and social media and witness firsthand how hitchhiking might help heal a divided nation—one ride at a time.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukewhyte/#TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@americanaweYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@american-aweSend us a textSupport the showFollow Wild Chaos on Social Media: Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wild-chaos-podcast/id1732761860Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KFGZ6uABb1sQlfkE2TIoc?si=8ff748aa4fc64331 ⁠⁠⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildchaospodcastBam's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bambam0069Youtube: https://youtube.com/@wildchaospodTikTok: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@wildchaosshowMeta (Facebook): ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/TheWildChaosPodcast

Have you ever wanted to transform your life? Sure, we can tweak a habit here and there from our usual comfortable perch. But sometimes we feel a rumble from down deep in our bellies; adventure and change is calling, but we're too scared to answer. What can happen when we do? Here today to answer that question is Jonny Wright, hitchhiker extraordinaire and fan of irreversible decisions. After traveling the globe, traversing 22 countries through over 17,000 miles of hitchhiking, Jonny knows what it means to make a single big decision that changes everything. After a big breakup, move, and pandemic, Jonny knew that he needed a big change — to shake things up so much that they could never settle back to normal — but didn't know where to start. Now armed with hard-earned wisdom from the road, he teaches us how to pinpoint the changes that we need to make and the direction we need to go when we can't seem to figure out where to begin. Additionally, Jonny shares: - Why hitchhiking is a risk he's willing to take - How to hitchhike as effectively as possible - How to hitchhike Europe - How hitchhiking is a teacher of impulse, intuition, and self regulation - What it takes financially to plan a months long trip - His magnificent Turkish wedding story form the road You'll leave this episode with a fresh perspective on humanity and feasible steps to for listening to the wise voice inside you, guiding you to a fulfilling life.

On a frigid February day in 1974, 25-year-old graduate student Mary Schlais stuck out her thumb to hitch a ride. She planned to travel from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Madison, Wisconsin and then make her way north to Chicago to attend an art show. Back then, it was common for young people to rely on the kindness of strangers for transportation. Hitchhiking around the Twin Cities was something Mary did regularly. That cold February day was the last time anyone saw the free-spirited woman alive. Mary's body was discovered later that day, but it would be more than 50 years before her killer was tracked down through genetic genealogy.  Subscribe to Jami's YouTube channel @JamiOnAir: https://www.youtube.com/@jamionair Follow Jami @JamiOnAir on Instagram and TikTok.

#166 - What happens when your adventurous spirit collides with a life-changing diagnosis? Meet Brooke King, a fearless 29-year-old who refuses to let thyroid cancer dim her extraordinary approach to life.Brooke's story begins in Chicago, where she lived a successful but predictable life as a young homeowner. When COVID hit, something shifted - that innate desire for adventure could no longer be contained. She sold her house and embraced alternative living - from boats to school buses - launching herself into experiences most would never dare attempt. Hitchhiking on the "Desert Snake" (the world's deadliest train) through the Sahara Desert? Check. Tracking down a floating grocery store yacht in Turkey? Absolutely. Dog attack training? Why not?Then came the unexpected plot twist - a thyroid cancer diagnosis that might have derailed someone with less resilience. But for Brooke, this became another adventure to navigate with the same determination that helped her travel solo through remote parts of Africa. "I didn't want to just heal from cancer and get through it," she explains. "I wanted to rise above it."Now, Brooke is channeling her energy into training for a 72-hour rowing expedition across the Mediterranean from Barcelona to Ibiza. What was already on her bucket list has transformed into "Row to Remission" - a powerful statement of hope and a fundraiser for cancer research. She'll row alongside three other women, including a former Olympian, taking two-hour shifts around the clock with minimal sleep.Brooke's philosophy about adventure is refreshingly accessible: "Adventure is intentionally trying something new." It doesn't require traveling to exotic locations or extreme sports - it simply means choosing growth and new experiences for their own sake. Through her story, she reminds us that our greatest adventures often arrive disguised as our greatest challenges.Follow Brooke's journey on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok @brookesjoyrides or visit brookesjoyrides.com to support her cancer fundraising efforts. As she says with infectious enthusiasm: "There's no time to waste."Want to be a guest on Journey with Jake?
