The Staying Adventurous Podcast shifted gears again for the Holiday Season. The 3rd annual Gift Guide for the Adventurous offers details on specific travel gear, provides listeners with unique ways to locate gifts, and allows listeners to shift their mindset to "giving" back.
Host Craig Zabransky of StayAdventurous.com, started the shift when he curated his annual calendar not just with passion, but also with purpose.

The episode continues with more ways to positively help the Florida Keys through shopping locally via online, interviews a local about help needed over the holidays for teacher and children and also and discusses measuring social impact of corporate gifting with the CEO of Gifts for Good. And of course it leaves you with a favorite segment, the Staying Adventurous mindset moment, a takeaway to consider for this holiday season.
