1 小时 6 分钟So imagine leaving school at 16 thinking that you were going to have kind of a mainstream, traditional path in life, finding yourself traveling around the world on giant merchant ships and then being delivered back into reality to rediscover who you are and then building a life, a career, a living, a livelihood, taking youths and some of the smartest, most accomplished teams out into the middle of nowhere, out into the desert, out into the roughest ocean patches in the world, into the wilds and the wilderness, and leveraging the power, the raw energy, the just complete immersive nature of these environments to transform people's relationships with themselves, with other people, and with the planet and their lives and their livings.
Well, that is exactly what my guest today does.
Scotty Johnson is somebody who's been a friend of mine for a while.
In this conversation, I also learned for the first time on tape that my friend Scotty, who I've known for years, his name is naturally Scotty.
You will hear that story and how that sort of, like, unfolded along with his really beautiful, compelling personal journey and how he has sort of meandered his way into this stunning living and life.
Really excited to share this journey with you and this conversation with you.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
I'm from the UK, currently live in the northwest of England in a beautiful part of the world called the Lake District.
So surrounded by the natural environment, hills and mountains and lakes and lots of woodland.
So that's where I currently live.
But I was born in Scotland, just outside Edinburgh.
Went to school there till I was about eight years old and then moved down to England.
And I had a very strong scottish accent.
The school I went to, I don't think they'd met any scottish people.
So my real name is actually Andrew.
They called me Scotty because I had a scottish accent, and it just stuck.
So I'm.
I'm Scotty.
Wait a minute.
So all these years I've been calling you Scotty?
