E58 Int. Trekking, Tragedy, and True Giving with Philanthrotrekker Jeff Rasley - a podcast by J. A. Plosker

Sometimes out of tragedy, we find hope and purpose. For adventurer Jeff Rasley, a tragedy and narrow escape during a mountaineering expedition in Nepal changed his life forever, leading him to shift his spiritual and psychological perspective and to found the Basa Village Foundation to provide support and opportunities in a remote Nepalese village.

Jeff shares his journey and talks about the profound shifts that happened during what he calls his “midlife crisis” in a way he never expected. Jeff has gone from a career in the law, to the Himalayas, to writing, and to a new way of viewing and helping the world as a “philanthrotrekker.” Hear how tragedy became transition and opportunity, and a profound spiritual and personal shift.

“I had been very happy…living in apartments, not living tied to the ground…feeling like we could move any time we wanted.”

“Being up in the highest mountains in the world awed me.”

“An avalanche occurred, and it swept [porters] away. Our porters were trapped on the other side of the avalanche, and our guide made a heroic rescue and we made it safely back…It made me re-think whether this type of adventure was really appropriate…”

“The porters were risking their lives to give us this risky adventure.”

“It was that need to become more introspective and really figure out who I was in the context of the life I was living and how what I did affected other people.”

“How are you affecting those in your world?”

“When you don’t have distractions, personal relationships are so much more important.”

“Approach life as an adventure and a work of art.”
