This week my guest is Jonas Paurell - former United Nations lawyer and corporate strategy consultant turned wilderness expedition leader. As a corporate strategist, he had all the marks of success; a good job doing important work with the opportunity to travel the world. Jonas, however, was working 14+ hour days and, in his own words, hated his life. He knew something had to give, and so did his body. After a frightening health scare, he began to rebuild his life in a new way, focused on nature, adventure and photography. I absolutely loved chatting to Jonas - his tale is a cautionary one for all of us to never lose sight of our health and happiness.
