Episode 256 - Empty Nest To New Horizons With Paula Barnes
Om denne podkasten
The Human Adventure is a podcast about people who choose to live fully—through travel, challenge, creativity, and the courage to step into the unknown.
Hosted by Jake Bushman, each episode features honest conversations with adventurers, travelers, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, and everyday humans doing extraordinary things. We explore not just what they’ve done, but why—the failures, fears, faith, and resilience that shape a meaningful life.
From remote corners of the world to inner journeys of growth and reinvention, The Human Adventure reminds us that life isn’t about reaching a destination—it’s about who we become along the way.
If you’re drawn to authentic stories, bold ideas, and the shared experience of being human, this podcast is for you.
