We'd love to hear from you about this episode.

If I were to ask each of you what you want in life, you would undoubtedly give some variation of the same answer: “to be happy.”

What makes us happy? Is it time with loved ones, traveling to exotic places, helping others, or a career built on passion and purpose?

We know that purpose is one of the three pillars of spiritual wellness, values, and relationships. But what is passion? Passion is the burning desire we experience when we find something (or someone) that makes us want to give our full attention and focus.

Passion fuels our souls, fills our hearts, and propels us forward in life.

What if we can build our personal and professional lives at the intersection of purpose and passion?

Welcome to Episode Forty-Nine of The Nature of Wellness ™️ Podcast.

In this episode, we sat down with Phil Monahan, Creative Editor-Organic Brand Content at The Orvis Company. Phil has previously been a fishing guide in Alaska and Montana, Senior Associate Editor at Outdoor Life Magazine, Editor of American Angler Magazine, and freelance writer and editor for nature/outdoor recreation content.

Join us as we speak to Phil about how he turned a lifelong passion into an accomplished outdoor industry career, views fly fishing as his meditative practice, and how being a fishing guide early in life helped shape his path.

Phil discusses the importance of getting outside to enhance mental health, the story behind the incredible Orvis “Moments of Chill” campaign and world-changing conservation efforts, the impact of effectively sharing stories, and the experience of providing us with the NOW ™️ theme music.

We found ourselves “waist-deep” in this conversation, wading in sheer goodness…
