In this episode I sit down with Emily Jackson and we unpack how her adventurous childhood created such a solid foundation for her own life, that she couldn’t comprehend a different way of life. She is an accomplished professional kayaker, mom, wife, businesswoman, co-host of The Great Family Adventure TV series, and friend to so many.
We talk about how her most clear recollection of her family’s happiness stemmed from a decision to live fulltime in a RV to pursue life together, forged on a mission to provide experiences and not stuff.
We talk about her own career and real life challenges and experiences of raising a family touring around the world while pursuing her and her husband Nick’s professional kayaking career. Family time is their best time, and every decision and move they make as a family has this purpose in mind.
Here’s the beauty of this episode. It's super relatable to everyone with a heart beat. Regardless of whether you live in a RV full time, host an adventure TV show, have kids, or are planning to have kids. If you truly want to live your best life, there is something for everyone in this episode.
