My Purpose?
I am a millennial, with ONE goal to live an extraordinary life with PURPOSE…
I want to create memories, push through extremes, learn from mistakes, take calculated risks, gain fulfilment and most importantly help empower organisations and individuals to make a positive impact within their teams, the environment around them and the mental health of others! I wish to inspire the younger generation to turn dreams and BHAGs (big hairy audacious goals) into reality!
Finding purpose is like a never-ending journey. Life has ups and downs it’s how you deal with downs and creates your ups which makes life fun and gives you a sense of purpose!
Something I tell myself every day > “Time to stop dreaming and living life vicariously through others i.e. LED screens. It’s time to start REALLY living, your time is NOW.”
How did Isaac enter the world of Outdoor Adventures?
Born on the 5th of December 1993, in the diverse and vibrant town of Luton, within the county of Bedfordshire in the UK, my story is one that defies expectations and overcomes tremendous challenges.
Growing up in Luton, a place known for its rich cultural tapestry, I witnessed a lack of opportunities amidst the diversity. Despite the odds stacked against me, I never let my circumstances define me. People often wonder how I afford a life filled with thrilling adventures. The truth is, alongside pursuing my passions, I maintain a full-time job and possess an unwavering drive that propels me toward my goals, irrespective of my background or the obstacles in my path.
To be honest, I did not come from a privileged upbringing. The school I attended even faced closure due to its failure to meet minimum educational standards, only to reopen with support from the government. Luton, a town subjected to media ridicule as the worst place to live in the UK for years, was plagued by poverty and a pervasive sense of insecurity. The streets were not safe, and even local green spaces and parks were tainted by the presence of gangs and dangerous individuals. Consequently, my parents, deeply concerned for my safety, sheltered me from venturing out, confining much of my childhood to the confines of home or the protective walls of the school. However, every now and then, on weekends and holidays, I found solace in venturing into the wild, embracing the untamed beauty of natural landscapes. These fleeting moments of exploration and freedom became an integral part of my formative years.
My journey is a testament to the resilience that can emerge from adversity. It showcases the triumph of the human spirit, unyielding in the face of limited opportunities and challenging circumstances. Through my experiences, I have discovered the transformative power of pushing boundaries and exploring the unknown. This realization has fueled my relentless pursuit of adventure and inspired me to share my story with the world.
Get ready to join me on an exhilarating voyage, as we navigate the uncharted territories of possibility and prove that dreams can be achieved, regardless of where we come from. My journey is a testament to the fact that with determination, perseverance, and a fierce desire to defy expectations, anything is possible.
From a young age, my passion for science and the mesmerizing world of Jurassic Park sparked an insatiable curiosity within me. Fuelled by this fascination, I embarked on a journey to study Geology at university, delving deep into the Earth's processes and resources. Little did I know that this academic pursuit would pave the way for a life-changing adventure.
As I journeyed through university, the weight of mental health challenges cast a shadow over my path. Panic anxiety disorder gripped my spirit, tethering me to screens and the struggles of daily life. However, amidst the turbulence, a glimmer of hope emerged—my solace lay in the embrace of nature. I discovered that the great outdoors held a transformative power, a sanctuary where healing and restoration awaited.
With each step taken on the rocky terrain and each breath of fresh, untamed air, I felt the tendrils of anxiety loosen their grip. Nature became my refuge, a source of strength and rejuvenation. A flame was ignited within me, and I resolved to immerse myself fully in the wonders of the natural world.
Driven by a hunger for self-discovery and an unquenchable thirst for adventure, I embarked on a remarkable journey. I took on the Duke of Edinburgh award, beginning at the age of 20—a late start compared to my peers. It was a testament to my unwavering determination to seize every opportunity that life had to offer, even if it had remained hidden from me until then. This newfound pursuit opened my eyes to a multitude of life skills and invaluable experiences that transformed my perspective forever.
I realized that extraordinary lives are not crafted by conforming to societal pressures or surrendering to the allure of endless screen time. No, I yearned for something more—a life steeped in adventure, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to carve my own path.
Thus, my dreams took flight, and the ordinary no longer held sway over me. I embraced the extraordinary with every fibre of my being, determined to shatter boundaries and forge my own destiny. I discovered that true growth and fulfilment are not bestowed upon us; we must actively seek them out, forging our own opportunities and defying the status quo.
Today, as I stand before you, I am living proof that dreams can become reality. My passion for the outdoors, my unyielding spirit, and the transformative power of nature have propelled me to heights I once deemed impossible. And now, I stand ready to share this extraordinary journey, inspiring others to break free from the shackles of societal norms, embrace their passions, and immerse themselves in the awe-inspiring beauty that surrounds us.
