Outdoor adventurer and Polar expedition guide. Dagný Ívarsdóttir 

We all need to take climate change and the health of our natural environment very seriously. By exploring the outdoors and immersing ourselves in the planets beauty, we can learn so much about it. It’s possible that some of the solutions to our planets health will come from businesses and practices that teach people to participate in healthy ways with the outdoors. 

In this episode we will discuss: 

• Having a healthy active lifestyle, promotes a better attitude toward the world and our view of ourselves in the natural world. 
• Building strong community values, where people feel a sense of responsibility toward one another is key to better serving the environment.
• Communities such as those we find in Iceland, have high levels of happiness and health due to their strong connections to their common values. 
• We discuss if it is possible to create such common values in large multicultural urban environments. 
• What could be the underlying cause for the high levels of happiness in Iceland. 
• We talk about the importance of having a vision for your future. Dreaming of a better life and working hard toward that goal. 
• Living intentionally and keeping yourself fit and knowledgeable so that you remain relevant. 
• Even when we lack the academic background to some professions, there are many other ways in which we can find our place in that field. 
• When we find ourselves in new territory, our insecurities can come out in the form of “imposter syndrome”. This is when we doubt our accomplishments and fear we will be discovered as a fraud. 
• We need to teach people to be more optimistic and have a lighter approach to the environment. Being radical and having extremist views doesn't serve the cause effectively.
