This week’s guest is travel guide Simon Yugler – named one of Open World Magazine’s “Top 30 Adventurers Under 30,” Simon facilitates initiatory experiences as the leader of experiential education journeys for young adults.http://travel-alchemy.comHere’s Simon talking to UpliftConnect about the difference between “wanting to help” and “wanting to be of service”:https://youtu.be/JzIwXy4l4lY - “What cultural exchange looks like from a place of transformation and healing.”- Decolonizing Festival Culture.- Right Relationship & the difference between “Citizen Diplomacy” & “Mission Work.”- What it means to be a respectful guest.- The difference between tourists and locals: tourists look up (novelty and wonder).- What travel has to teach us about navigating our turbulent and transformational age.- How rootless modern people (digital nomads, refugees, wandering Jews, and so on) can reconnect with a sense of place and become a “person of place.”- How to RECEIVE people with respect and be a good host for travelers and displaced peoples.- Avoiding the dark side of entrepreneurialism, the exploitation and instrumentalist thinking, and turning our hunger into the fuel for something beautiful… The Five Principles of Right Relationship:• Give Offerings of Respect• Shut Up & Listen• Know Your History (Do Research About Where You’re Going/Are)• Love of Language• Sharing From The Heart “Travel will leave you speechless and then turn you into a storyteller.”- Ibn Battuta Quotes:“I think there’s something almost archetypal and profound about leaving your home, country of origin, about leaving your comfort zone and traveling OUT into the world…let’s just start there. Initiation 101.”“Coming to terms with my own liberal conditioning of wanting to save the world…all these things we’re raised to think in America these days, and learning to let that all go. And realizing that all I can do as an individual is build authentic relationships with people.”“One thing Right Relationship ISN’T is wanting to come in and FIX.”“If we don’t have anything to give – which I doubt – we can give the gift of silence.”“Once you start on the initiatory path it continues for your whole life. Eventually, part of that is initiating others.”“We can share stories about how the world is burning down and imploding, or we can share stories about how the world is being created. We can play a part in that.”“For me, to put it lightly, travel has been an initiatory path.”“Everything that could go wrong while traveling in Africa DID go wrong. I had no money, I had one contact in the town I was showing up in whose phone happened to be out of commission, my phone credit ran out and I didn’t know how to recharge it because I didn’t know how to speak Swahili, and here I am in the middle of the country in this dusty little savannah town with no-one I know in a thousand miles and no money and no language skills and nothing…”“Knowing that people across the world are good, for the most part, and for the most part want to help you, is one of the most powerful and transformative messages that we can experience and share. Because if you turn on the news – I don’t know why you’d do that, these days – but if you were to turn on CNN, you would get barraged with information about how dangerous and terrible the world is. Travel can instill these experiences in your life that prove the complete opposite of that.” Referenced in this episode:Michael Mead, writerLewis Hyde, author of The GiftNelson Mandela, politicianDavid Abram, author of The Spell of the SensuousRolf Potts, author of Vagabonding: A Guide to the Uncommon Art of Long-Term World TravelIbn Battuta, legendary explorerVictor Turner, anthropologistBruce Chatwin, author of The SonglinesThe Sierra Leone Refugee All-StarsDavid Dang Vu, serial entrepreneurPaul Levy, writerSeth Godin, marketing expertTim Ferris, author of The 4-Hour WorkweekChris Guillebeau, author of The 100 Dollar StartupDuncan Trussell, comedianDebbie Millman, host of Design Matters PodcastDrew Dillinger, poet, “The Hieroglyphic Stairway” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Danny Flood is a writer, entrepreneur, and world traveler who chronicles useful information about life through his website, Open World Magazine. He joins Gregory to discuss two recent deaths: a suicide by Gregory’s hometown friend and an adventurer named Justin Alexander who never made it back from one of his more dangerous trips. Hope is the belief in random, positive change – the idea that the unknown future can be better than what you currently have. If you’re at the end of your rope, why not throw yourself into an experience you’ve never had before? What have you got to lose? Our culture of death is to bury and get away from it as fast as possible because we cannot stand the reality of it. It doesn’t matter what people say about you when you are gone. It only matters how you perceive your own life. A better question to ask yourself is how the world will be different because you ever existed. You forget 99.999% of the things that ever happen to you. Only the memories with strong emotional ties remain in your ongoing memory, whether positive or negative. What your brain decides is an important event worth remembering is mostly arbitrary. You can figure out what you really care about by examining your strongest positive and negative emotional reactions, but only if you are willing to ignore social expectations of what you ought to care about. Why do you feel like you need to leave a legacy after your gone? Why isn’t your life enough? Do you need to feel bigger than death?   Websites mentioned: Justin Alexander, Adventures of Justin: http://adventuresofjustin.com/ Gregory Diehl’s podcast interview on Open World Mag: http://www.openworldmag.com/33-wandering-consultant-gregory-diehl/

On show 52 of the BRAND New You show, it is my pleasure to welcome Danny Flood co-founder of Open World, the world's #1 resource for active lifestyle creators. Danny is an author, a podcaster, and location-independent entrepreneur originally from San Diego, California. He is the founder of Open World magazine and the Open World podcast, where he interviews the world's most exciting adventurers and location-independent entrepreneurs. Danny has traveled to over 30 countries on four continents and during his travels He has crossed half of Southeast Asia on a motorcycle. He's rafted down the Amazon and climbed the tallest mountains of South America. He's rappelled off waterfalls in the jungle and sailed across the South China Sea. He's even tangoed in Buenos Aires and fought Thai boxing matches in Bangkok. Danny believes that we should live life on our own terms without the outside pressure from others. To this end, his book, “Buy your own Island” is a playbook designed to help individuals find the love, adventure, passion and purpose they seek. Help me welcome Danny Flood to the brand new you show.   BUY YOUR OWN ISLAND - THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BREAKING FREE AND MAKING YOUR DREAMS A REALITY Buy your own Island is not a book on how to buy an island. Rather, it's a highly actionable and motivational book which I consider to be a great mix of two of my favorite books, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and The 4-hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss. This book provides the reader with an MBA in location independent lifestyle. During our discussion, Danny Flood dispels the notion that location-independence is just for “certain types” of individuals. It really can be something we all enjoy if we have the right mindset. Because he has “been there done that” Danny understands more than anyone the games your mind will play with you to keep you in your comfort zone. Danny spends a good deal of time in the first section of the book walking the reader through exercises to help the reader overcome their own fears and self-doubt. ALIBI-ITIS We all suffer from an affliction known as alibi-itis, our secret excuses that keep us from getting what we want from life. These excuses act to postpone action and defer the things we really want out into the future. To overcome alibi-itis help Danny Flood recommends taking small steps out of your comfort zone by “leaning in” to the edge of your comfort zone. HACK UPWORK - HOW TO MAKE REAL MONEY AS A FREELANCER In Hack UpWork Danny Flood takes all of his experiences using UpWork, an online staffing website for freelancers and clients developed to connect companies with talent, and boils them down into an actionable strategy you can follow to make the most of the system for freelance work. Companies post project based jobs and registered freelancers in areas such as web development, writers, sales, marketing and accountants review the job postings and bid on the ones they are interested in performing. At a high level, all that is required to get started using Upwork is to set up a profile and starting bidding on open jobs. Danny Flood recommends against this “strategy”. Upwork uses an Amazon-like search function that floats the higher rated freelancers to the top of every job posting. This means if you start “cold” you'll be competing against higher rated individuals who may already have a great portfolio. WRAP The best way to get in touch with Danny is via the following links.

Hey Explorers! Danny was kind enough to give us all a free audio version of his new book, Buy Your Own Island: The Ultimate Guide to Breaking Free and Making Your Dreams Reality. You can download the audiobook here. After struggling to find employment out of college, Danny Flood instead decided to travel the world - and pursue a list of dreams that he’d written down on a piece of paper. Five years later he’s still traveling and living overseas and Danny’s ready to tell his story — and I’m excited to explore exactly where this decision has taken him, and the work that he’s become inspired to produce. Among a handful of his project, Danny is the founder of Open World Magazine, an online resource for travel, entrepreneurship and life hacking. And now he’s the author of his first book, Buy Your Own Island — the ultimate guide to breaking free and making your dreams reality.
