Accept the call to adventure –that’s really all that being a young adult is. A time full of trial and error, exploration and growth. For many, these years are the foundation that transforms you as a person and impacts the trajectory of your life. So, take action and accept the call to adventure!
Licensed Social Worker, John Conway, did just that –accepted the call to adventure every chance he got. From taking advantage of just about every opportunity college had available, to traveling to adventure therapy programs all over the country, and internationally. John was even part of the founding team for one of the first transitional living programs located in a major metropolitan setting! You can now find him doing what he does best teaching and working with young adults as a therapeutic educational consultant.
In this episode of Success is Subjective, John joins Joanna to share the most transformational years of his life as a young adult and how they have shaped where he is now.
