Today, on Episode 496, I'm talking with Mattias Jansson from the National Pilgrim Center in Trondheim, Norway.

You can contact me here:  rick@theoutdoorbizpodcast.com What Happened I've done my fair share of hiking. From the John Muir Trail to the PCT, I thought I had a pretty solid handle on what makes an adventure worthwhile. But then I found myself in Norway, walking the Pilgrim Path to Nidaros Cathedral, and something shifted. It wasn't just the landscapes—though, let me tell you, those were next level. One day, we were trekking through misty mountains. The next, we were passing through sleepy villages, exchanging nods with locals who've seen hikers like us for centuries. And then there was that one wild day—the rain poured, the wind howled, and instead of hurrying through it, we stopped to make coffee by a quiet pond. No rush, no race, just being in the moment. That's when it hit me: This wasn't just a hike. It was something deeper. Something that had been calling to people for over a thousand years. It made me wonder: Why do we chase adventure? What are we really searching for? Principle Here's the truth: Many people think adventure is about ticking off trails, collecting miles, or conquering nature. But the best adventures? They change you. A pilgrimage isn't just about getting from point A to B. It's about stripping away the layers of everyday life—the distractions, the to-do lists, the noise—until all that's left is you, the trail, and whatever you're meant to discover along the way. Transition Many people don't realize it, but they're searching for more than just adventure. They're searching for meaning. And yet, so many never find it—not because they're not looking, but because they don't know where to look. And … That's Why… That's why, in this episode of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast, we sat down with Mattias Jansson, a modern-day guide of these ancient trails. We talk about the Viking roots of the Pilgrim Path, the deep connection between adventure and self-discovery, and why people from all over the world are drawn to this experience today. Call to Action If you've ever felt stuck—like your adventures aren't quite scratching that itch anymore—this episode is for you. Because adventure isn't just about new places. It's about new perspectives.

Need help choosing steps on the Clear Path of Discipleship that fit your community? Today, we dive into the heart of missionary transformation: the conversion moment. I sit down with my team to unpack why these moments matter—and how they're changing lives in real time. You'll hear unforgettable stories (like a bartender who became a parish secretary) and see how ministries like Alpha, ChristLife, and parish retreats are helping people truly encounter Jesus. But this isn't just about programs. It's about creating space for people to meet Jesus—and letting that encounter ripple out into the life of your parish. We talk about what's working, what's not, and how to choose a format that actually fits your community. We also get real about the challenges—and the surprising opportunities—of doing this in diverse or bilingual settings. If you're trying to figure out where to start, or wondering how to take your next step toward a more missionary parish, this episode is for you. Get ready to think big—and start small.

But we have to keep trying."Hi: अरुण ने पूरे दिल से सहमति जताई।En: Arun agreed wholeheartedly.Hi: उसने खुद को तैयार किया, नए अनुभवों को अपनाने और मरीजों की देखभाल में जुटने के लिए।En: He prepared himself to embrace new experiences and to devote himself to patient care.Hi: उस दिन के दौरान, अचानक एक गंभीर हालत में मरीज को लाया गया।En: During the day, a patient in critical condition was suddenly brought in.Hi: उसकी हालत नाज़ुक थी और उसे तात्कालिक उपचार की आवश्यकता थी।En: The condition was serious, and immediate treatment was necessary.Hi: मेहरा और अरुण ने टीम बनाकर काम करने का फैसला किया।En: Mehra and Arun decided to work as a team.Hi: वे दोनों ही नर्वस थे, साधन भी सीमित थे, पर समय की कोई मोहलत नहीं थी।En: Both were nervous, resources were limited, but there was no time to spare.Hi: सभी ध्यान और समझबूझ के साथ, उन्होंने मिलकर मरीज का उपचार किया।En: With full attention and understanding, they treated the patient together.Hi: अरुण ने मेहरा के अनुभव से बहुत कुछ सीखा।En: Arun learned a lot from Mehra's experience.Hi: उस पल उसने समझा कि कठिनाइयों के बावजूद, उसकी उपस्थिति अर्थपूर्ण थी।En: In that moment, he understood that despite the difficulties, his presence was meaningful.Hi: शाम ढलने पर, जब हवा में ठंडक घुल गई, दोनों ने थकान को भुलाते हुए एक साधारण खाना साझा किया।En: As the evening fell and the air filled with coolness, they shared a simple meal, forgetting their fatigue.Hi: आस-पास के लोगों के चेहरे अब राहत से भरे थे।En: The faces of the people around them were now filled with relief.Hi: अरुण को अब अपने फैसले पर गर्व महसूस हुआ।En: Arun felt proud of his decision.Hi: वहीं, मेहरा ने उसके जोश और आदर्शवाद में अपने अनुभव का जुड़ाव पाया। उसका विश्वास फिर से लौट आया।En: Meanwhile, Mehra found a connection between his enthusiasm and her experience, and her faith was rejuvenated.Hi: वो रात पहले जैसी नहीं थी।En: That night was not like before.Hi: अरुण को आत्मविश्वास मिला और मेहरा को अपनी भूमिका में नया अर्थ।En: Arun gained confidence, and Mehra discovered new meaning in her role.Hi: आखिर में वे दोनों जानते थे कि चाहे स्थितियाँ कितनी भी कठिन हों, उन्होंने बदलाव की शुरुआत कर दी थी।En: In the end, they both knew that no matter how tough the situations were, they had begun to make a difference.

Transcript:Hu: A budapesti Természettudományi Múzeum folyosóin egy forró nyári napon pezsgő élet zajlott.En: The corridors of the budapesti Natural History Museum were bustling with life on a hot summer day.Hu: Árpád csendesen bóklászott az új különleges kiállításon, amely a magyar vadvilággal foglalkozott.En: Árpád wandered quietly through the new special exhibition focused on Hungarian wildlife.Hu: A nap meleg fénye beáramlott az ablakokon, különleges mintákat vetítve a falakra, miközben az emberek lépései és halk beszélgetéseik visszhangoztak a tágas termekben.En: The warm daylight streamed through the windows, casting unique patterns on the walls as the footsteps and soft conversations of people echoed in the spacious halls.Hu: Árpád, a természetfotós, akinek különösen fontos volt a magyar ökoszisztémák megismerése, egy inspiráló projektet keresett.En: Árpád, a nature photographer particularly interested in understanding Hungarian ecosystems, was looking for an inspiring project.Hu: A termek között lassan sétálva a kiállítás egyik részébe botlott, ahol Lilla, lelkes környezettudományi hallgató, mesélt a látogatóknak a kiállításról és bőszen hangoztatta a természetvédelem fontosságát.En: As he slowly strolled through the rooms, he stumbled upon a part of the exhibition where Lilla, a passionate environmental science student, was telling visitors about the exhibition and fervently emphasizing the importance of conservation.Hu: Lilla, aki önkéntesként tevékenykedett a múzeumban, tele volt energiával.En: Lilla, who volunteered at the museum, was full of energy.Hu: Ahogy figyelte a látogatóknak tartott előadását, Árpád nem tudta nem észrevenni az őszinte lelkesedést a lány hangjában.En: Observing her presentation to visitors, Árpád couldn't help but notice the genuine enthusiasm in her voice.Hu: Ahogy egy csoport odébb állt, Árpád megérezte, hogy itt az idő, hogy kérdéseit feltegye Lillának.En: As a group moved on, Árpád felt it was time to ask Lilla his questions.Hu: Átlépett a kis közönség után keletkezett csendben, és megszólította őt.En: He stepped forward in the quiet that followed the small audience and addressed her.Hu: "Üdv, érdeklődtem a magyar vadvilág után egy fotóprojekthez," kezdte Árpád bizonytalanul, miközben próbálta nem elárulni korábbi rossz tapasztalatai miatti zárkózottságát.En: "Hello, I was interested in Hungarian wildlife for a photography project," Árpád began uncertainly, while trying not to reveal his previous bad experiences that had made him reserved.Hu: Lilla szeme felcsillant, mikor meglátta Árpád kameráját.En: Lilla's eyes sparkled when she saw Árpád's camera.Hu: "Ó, ön fotós?En: "Oh, are you a photographer?"Hu: " kérdezte izgatottan.En: she asked excitedly.Hu: "Nagyon örülnék, ha egy tapasztalt személy segítene a projektemben.En: "I would be thrilled if an experienced person would help with my project.Hu: Éppen egy magyar biodiverzitási témán dolgozom.En: I am currently working on a Hungarian biodiversity topic."Hu: "Mindketten érezték, hogy talán most találtak valakit, aki megérti és osztja az ő szenvedélyüket.En: They both felt they might have found someone who understood and shared their passion.Hu: Az érdekes beszélgetés alatt a Dunai tokhalról szóló előadásra sodródtak, ami még inkább közelebb hozta őket.En: During the engaging conversation, they drifted towards a lecture about the Dunai tokhal, which brought them even closer.Hu: Lelkesen beszélgettek a tokok megőrzésének lehetőségeiről és a magyar természet értékes kincseiről.En: They enthusiastically talked about the possibilities of sturgeon conservation and the valuable treasures of Hungarian nature.Hu: Az előadás végén Árpád és Lilla mosollyal az arcukon cseréltek telefonszámot.En: At the end of the lecture, Árpád and Lilla exchanged phone numbers with smiles on their faces.Hu: Árpád felajánlotta, hogy segít a fotózással Lilla projektjéhez, míg Lilla megígérte, hogy bevezeti Árpádot a kutatói körbe, ahol a tudósok új inspirációt nyújthatnak számára.En: Árpád offered to help with photography for Lilla's project, while Lilla promised to introduce Árpád to the research community, where scientists could offer him new inspiration.Hu: Ez a találkozás mindkettőjükben változást hozott.En: This encounter brought a change in both of them.Hu: Árpád ráébredt, hogy a szenvedély megosztása másokkal mekkora erőt adhat.En: Árpád realized how much strength sharing passion with others could give.Hu: Lilla pedig magabiztosabb lett, tudva, hogy lelkesedése kapukat nyithat meg és segíthet a kapcsolatteremtésben.En: Lilla became more confident, knowing that her enthusiasm could open doors and help in making connections.Hu: Ketten együtt hamar megtalálták az útjukat, hogy egy szebb és zöldebb jövőt tervezzenek, ahol a magyar vadvilág megőrzése mindenki számára fontos lesz.En: Together, they quickly found their path to plan a brighter and greener future where the preservation of Hungarian wildlife would be important to everyone.

Every single man listening to this is familiar with discipline and has applied it (to varying degrees) in his life. We generally think of discipline as an overall good thing (and, I think it is) but it can often lead to bouts of frustration and unnecessary suffering if utilized incorrectly. My guest today, Craig Ballantyne, makes the case that discipline, although, a powerful force for productivity comes with strings attached, and isn't the end-all, save-all it's often made out to be. Today, we talk about what true discipline is not, why chasing the wrong target is so common and what to do about it, what I call the “self-help hangover” and how to avoid it, why you should know the distinction between standards and expectations, and how to avoid what Craig calls, “The Doom Loop” in your life.
