单集简介 ...

Jedidiah Jenkins is a storyteller, adventurer and powerful advocate for intentional living. Leaving behind his training in law to tap a lifelong gift for storytelling and a deep heart of service, Jedidiah joined the team at Invisible Children. They would eventually launch the KONY 2012 campaign, producing a video that went massively viral with more than 100-million views in the first week. This both shined the light on a nation in dire need, but also brought on a fierce backlash that led to a lot of pain and self-exploration. As he neared his 30th birthday, Jedidiah started feeling called to commit to a powerful personal quest. So, he made the frightening decision to leave a job he loved to pursue an untested dream: bicycling to Patagonia and writing a book about it. From the cartels of Mexico, to the mega-churches of the US, to the Amazon in Bolivia, he has seen some crazy things. In this week's episode, we explore his epic journey, and the adventures still yet to come.

  • If you are going to prioritize money over your day to day sanity, even for a season, you're playing with fire because you, that thing inside you that needs release coils up and then makes you angry inside.

  • And then you have all this money, so you start buying more things to satiate that requires maintenance.

  • And so you are slipping down into a sand trap.

  • Today's guest is Jedediah Jenkins.

  • So he started out life in Nashville, ended up somehow going to film school and studying, writing.

  • Well, actually going to school and studying film and writing and then made this really interesting turn to head into law, and then went into the world of nonprofits, where he became part of one of the biggest sort of viral movements on the Internet that made a massive splash and then also turned dark really quickly.

  • From there, he then mounted a bicycle adventure that took him from Portland all the way down to the southern end of South America.

  • Does that sound like a lot for a guy who's in his mid thirties?

  • Well, it's a lot for anybody.

  • And in today's conversation, we dive into all of these different stops along the way.

  • Why he made those stops, what were the motivation behind it, what he discovered, and how each one of these different things changed him.

  • Really excited to share this conversation with you.

  • I'm Jonathan Fields.

  • This is good life project.

  • When you're listening to something, you could be kissing your boyfriend for the first time.

  • You could be seeing Hawaii for the first time.

  • You could be driving down the road on your way to your grandmother's funeral and hearing a song.

  • So you're consuming art in the context of doing something else.

  • And so that art is then layered on top of that emotion.

  • And so then for the rest of your life, when you hear that song, that Bonnie vers song, you're going to be like, oh, my gosh.
