The Ridiculously Human Podcast

For a long time, my thoughts have been that the best education is provided through travelling. It opens you up to the reality of the world, and to the truth, because you see and experience things with your own eyes. You are exposed to the melting pot of world cultures and traditions. Jordan Urbs, is a well-seasoned traveller. After a brief stint working a 9-5, he decided to rather be broke, than sell his time! So he spent 12 years travelling the world making videos with people. He dove head-first into life without a care for the consequences. However, that all changed once he realised he was not living up to his self-worth and making excuses for his potential. He’s now experiencing the beginning of a new era of life in El Salvador, with his wife and two kids. A totally different man….wise, with purpose and drive. He is also going to show and teach us how to do the same for ourselves too! Top bloke. Deep Pod conversation!

Steven Murray is a fearless go-getter. His whole life, whether it be business, sport, or adventure, he has had relentless ambition and always grabbed the bull by the horns to make the most of his opportunities. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t had his fair share of struggles and ups and downs, like you and me. However, he has generally taken the time to self-reflect, be honest with himself and continually looked to evolve from the lessons and challenges that life has thrown at him. Steve has achieved immense success in his endeavours, especially working for a start-up unicorn and then having the aspiration and courage to break-away with his own spinoff of the company. This conversation was sharing information and wisdom on a vulnerable and raw level. I loved this chat and am fascinated by how Steven’s brain works and what he has to say.
