In Season 2 Episode 16 of the Attempt Adventure Podcast, hosts Michael and James discuss what it means to be an amateur adventurer and how to embrace new and unexpected opportunities. This episode is something of a follow-up to our recent adventure gatekeeping episode.

James shares his experiences as an archaeologist, and the hosts discuss the benefits of a college education, why nobody should feel embarrassed to be an amateur, and punching Nazis (which, if the movies are anything to go by, is like 50% of what archaeology is all about).
