## Resource

What if adventure didn’t disappear when you became a parent… it just changed shape? In this episode, Lawrence and Mat sit down with world-renowned author and performance scientist Alex Hutchinson to explore how curiosity, motivation and endurance really work - not just in athletes, but in everyday life as parents. Alex’s work shows us that growth isn’t only about physical limits or epic expeditions. It’s about how the mind and body work together to keep us engaged with life, even in the small, ordinary moments. We talk about: Why curiosity is a survival skill for modern parents How endurance is as mental as it is physical Reframing “adventure” for the school run years Staying motivated when life feels repetitive Raising kids who are explorers - by becoming one ourselves This is a conversation about becoming better dads by staying awake to life.
