Explorer and adventurer Julian Monroe Fisher is a member of both the Royal Geographical Society and the Explorers Club. His expeditions have carried him across the globe and he has spent much of his career exploring the wilds of Africa. At this very moment he is preparing to set out on the next phase of his Great African Expedition which is a five year journey in the footsteps of some of the greatest explorers in history. In short, Julian knows how to dream big and dare to fail.

That is the theme of his recent TED Talk from TEDxInssbruck which took place at the beginning of June. In the video below you'll hear Julian talk about the sometimes crazy world of exploration and adventure, how he got started with his own expeditions and what inspires him to visit remote corners of the planet. It is an inspiring and interesting video that  challenges all of us to dream big and dare to fail as well. Something that we should all keep in mind as we pursue the passions in our life.

Do you have experience managing a non-proft? Want to work with a group of extraordinary individuals? Than you just might be interested in a job opening with the Explorers Club. The organization is looking to hire a new Executive Director to help guide the day-to-day operations of the club and work directly with the EC President and other members. The Executive Director works out of the club's New York office and over sees a variety of fund raising and administrative duties.

You'll find a bit more information about the position by clicking here, although for a full job description and application you'll need to email the current ED, Matt Williams, at mwilliams@explorers.org. Applications are being accepted through August 3rd, after which I'm sure an exhaustive review and search will take place.

As many of you know the Explorers Club had a tumultuous start to the year with a public spat between members and leadership causing some issues within the organization. In the spring the members elected a new president and things seem to have calmed down some. Most members that I've heard from in recent weeks say that the club is now in a good position to move forward and that there are new opportunities for the organization and its members on the horizon. The new Executive Director will obviously play a role in leading the group forward.
