Jonesy
Host with the Most
Justin Jones - otherwise affectionately known as Jonesy, is one of Australia’s pre-eminent explorers, keynote speakers, adventure thinkers and storytellers.
Over the past 19 years he has made a career of undertaking huge, epic, record setting expeditions around the world and sharing these on the stage and on screen. To date he’s spoken to over 350,000 people in 20 countries around the world and millions have watched his award winning documentaries.
He’s kayaked across the Tasman Sea from Australia to New Zealand, become the first to ski to the South Pole and back and walked across the Australian Outback with his one year old daughter. He currently holds two Guinness World Records and holds a place as one of Australia’s 50 Greatest Explorers of all time, all achieved before his thirties!
A gloriously ordinary bloke… he is the perfect example of how determination, detailed planning and foresight can enable the most ‘normal’ of us to undertake the most extraordinary feats.

Lauren
Chief of Curiosity
Lauren is an extroverted introvert (yes its a thing). Curiosity, connection and kindness are her superpowers. Lauren wonders and explores the central questions: WHY would someone leave their comfort zone, put themselves in the line of challenge and often pain? What is it that DRIVES them? And, what did they LEARN?
Lauren is a social entrepreneur and an advocate of using the power of curiosity and purpose to solve deep social and environmental problems. Having worked in strategic roles for large corporates globally over fifteen years, she is a sustainability pioneer with a deep understanding of impact.
Lauren, along with her husband Justin, walked self-supported, 1,800KM, halfway across Australia, through the Outback with their one-year old daughter Morgan driven by the goal to settle down different. Lauren is a unexpected adventurer, keynote speaker and an advocate for women in the outdoors. She believes adventure and parenthood are the best social experiments to better understand human potential.
Without challenge there can be no growth.
When times get tough, what’s needed more than ever are positive stories of curiosity, creativity and innovation coming from disruption - Adventure Thinking does just that.
Each week Justin and Lauren delve deep into all things adventure with some of the most interesting, unique and awesome humans, who have achieved the impossible and come back better for it.
Adventure thinking showcases the seeds of greatness that can sprout from moments of challenge.
Intimate, deep, often intense and always fun, these are not interviews. They are conversations. They delve into the hearts and minds of those that are not bound by convention or impossibility. These conversations are designed to reignite childlike curiosity, challenge perceived barriers, follow the path less taken, fuel passions and empower you to discover, uncover, unlock and unleash your best, most authentic self.
