He runs a successful 6 figure consulting business.
He runs…literally, having finished ultramarathons.
He’s even spoken at Target’s global headquarters!
And today, he’s launching his biggest project yet, the 777 project.
We talk about doing the impossible, the 777 project, cold shower therapy, renting your place on AirBnB, and how becoming rich in non-monetary currencies can help you travel more while spending less.

The other side of fear leads us to the most exciting and memorable moments in our lives.
After hearing Akshay Nanavati speak onstage at the World Domination Summit 2014 for just a couple of minutes, I knew I had to find a way to get him on the podcast.
Luckily enough I ran into him shortly afterward in the men’s restroom, and despite the unorthodox location of the request, he agreed to come on as a guest.
This week Akshay joins us to continue our theme of adventure in travel by sharing his awesome lifelong quest.
It’s one of the most amazing ones I’ve ever heard in my life, and so crazy that you’ll just have to listen to find out what it is!
We discuss how fear affects our travels, the logistics of his great adventure, the parts that seem the most exciting, and of course those that are the scariest.
We also talk about how Akshay deals with people who hate on his quest and the benefits of traveling with local companies and how it can save you a ton of money!
What’s one terrifying thing you’ve done that leads to a great experience or memory?
Ever sat at your desk and wondered what adventure could be out there for you? Daydreaming about that “one big trip”?

He had a yearning to bicycle across the United States for as long as his savings could support him. No one wanted to go with him, so he did it alone.
And he’s just released a book about it.
Today Leon joins us to talk about his new book, The Road Headed West, along with some of his other adventures including walking across China for 6 months and crossing through the Empty Quarter with previous podcast guest Alastair Humphreys.
He shares his methods for choosing adventures, how he cuts down on costs and his beliefs that the adventure lies in the unknown.
