Show Notes

Join us as we chat with Glen Van Peski, founder of Gossamer Gear and pioneer of the ultralight backpacking movement. Discover how "take less, do more" isn't just a hiking slogan but a philosophy for a purposeful, joyful life. Glen shares insights from his new book, "Apply Minimalism," describing it as a lifestyle of intentionally owning the right amount of things to focus on life priorities. He discusses how to embrace minimalism by getting by with only what is truly required, sharing personal and others' experiences.

In addition to minimalism, Glen encourages us to "Practice Generosity." He highlights that generosity doesn’t have to cost a lot and emphasizes that everyone can practice daily acts of generosity. For instance, Glen and his wife maintain a separate bank account dedicated to generosity, enabling them to readily help when there's a need.

Glen also underscores the importance of "Exercise Gratitude." He shares how cultivating a heart of gratitude can enrich not only your life but also those around you. Through inspiring examples, Glen demonstrates the transformative power of gratitude in unexpected situations.

Lastly, Glen advocates for "Having Curiosity." He encourages embracing a growth mindset by pushing boundaries and not fearing failure. Glen provides examples of how curiosity can repel a repetitive life and open doors to personal growth.

Tune in for these insightful discussions on living with intention, embracing simplicity, and enriching your life in meaningful ways.
