Life’s an Adventure…So Live It!

The Balanced Warrior Podcast

In this episode on the Balanced Warrior Podcast, we are wrapping up the April 2023 theme of Happiness and fun with the owner of Embark Exploration Co., Donovan Pacholl. Donovan started Embark Exploration because he loved adventure and travel, and he combined the two to form his very successful adventure travel company. They have facilitated countless trips worldwide and brought people to accomplish mountains and treks they never believed they could. He has helped charitable organizations such as Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and countless others raise money and climb Kilimanjaro in Africa, Everest Base Camp in Nepal, Cotopaxi in Ecuador, and more. Balanced Warrior Coach Chris had the opportunity to spend three weeks with Donovan climbing Aconcagua earlier this year. Donovan drops numerous value bombs in this episode and refers to various sources; one is the book MicroAdventures by Alastair Humphries, which allows people to get a sense of adventure without traveling the world. Donovan shares his fantastic adventure stories, how he started and conceptualized Embark Exploration, and what inspires him to grow and take more people out of their comfort zone and climb the world’s highest peaks and remote places.

Some notable takeaways…
