Welcome to Purpose Lounge where purpose seekers from all over the world tune in to hear from entrepreneurs and thought leaders, sharing their stories of living a life of meaning and fulfillment! I’m your host, Carrie Morris, and I’m a purpose seeker just like you! This podcast is your destination for discovering a life of integrative health and wellness, nutrition for the body, mind, and soul. If you’re looking to join a community of like-minded individuals in search of connection, positivity, and inspiration, then you’ve come to the right place! Tune in to powerful stories of individuals finding purpose, definitions of what purpose means to them, and ways that they not only started their journey but also what happens when one falls off the path and then later reclaims their life’s purpose. So, sit back or lean in, to Purpose Lounge!
Do these two things go together? Travel + transformation. Of course they do! I mean isn’t that what we all want and quite honestly, isn’t that what we should expect when we travel to far off lands?
Ahhhhhh, but we don’t *always* seek adventure now, do we? Sometimes a trip abroad is just about checking boxes and seeing monuments (too many to count and far too quickly to really appreciate). Am I right?
With where we are today as a society, as a country, this is what every human being needs. More transformative ways of healing, connecting, and growing! Being more conscious about travel, and digging deeper into the experience, before, during and after the adventure is over; THIS is the “hero’s journey” that lives within Jake Haupert. It is the personal quest that he is working tirelessly to create, for everyone.
Jake Haupert is the co-founder of The Transformational Travel Council, creating change by empowering, guiding and supporting travelers in their pursuit of personal growth and global understanding.
He is also the co-founder of Explorer X, a company where he and the other X’er co-founder, Michael Bennett, consciously-design custom travel experiences that take the traveler to the most incredible destinations around the world, uncovering how cultures, experiences, and adventures have the ability to impact the traveler from the inside-out.
Jake has a deep appreciation for the power of travel and its ability to incite change by breaking down the walls within and between us.
Highlights from the show:
– The definition of “transformational travel” and why it’s so important in today’s society
– Through Explorer X and the adventures that they create for individuals, small groups, and families; raising consciousness, being more present, opportunities to learn and grow (and heal), all through travel
– Capturing and staying within a person’s travel flow (what’s it all mean)
– A nod to the great Joseph Campbell and the “hero’s journey”… the inspiration that comes from JC’s work
– If REAL travel is what you seek, ask yourself, “why am I going?” and “how can I have a deeper experience?”
– Jake’s story around purpose; the younger years and the travel bug he picked up later in life after inspiration and role-modeling from the women in his life (mother and grandmother)
– Mentors! We love it when mentors come up in purpose-achievement discussions. Without mentors, would inventions and amazing companies like Explorer X and TTC exist? Tune in to hear about Jake’s mentors.
– Advice to the younger generation around purpose … Jake captures it beautifully!
