Johan Ernst Nilson started his career as an explorer and motivational speaker 20 years ago after a bet with a friend.
The question was; Could a person with the lowest grade in gymnastics bike from Sweden to Africa?
To Johan Ernst life is all about finding your dreams and reaching your goals. When Johan Ernst was 15 years old, he saw a man playing the piano on the TV. He asked his parents what he needed to do to play like that and they told him to stay motivated and to practice. Three years later Johan Ernst had a job as a professional pianist. To learn how to play the piano was Johan Ernst’s first “adventure”.

So what is an adventure?

Everything you do that takes you outside your Comfort Zone is an adventure.
It doesn’t have to be to climb Mount Everest or to ski to South Pole. Adventures are very individual. A normal day for you can be an adventure for someone else. Adventures has always been something that attracts humans. To do an adventure is to take a risk and risk taking is evolution. We grow through our mistakes and we build pride by daring. You can never reach a summit without taking some kind of risk.

Johan Ernst Nilson is today one of the worlds leading explorers and motivational speakers. With over 30 expeditions in 145 countries, Johan Ernst is today a member of both The Explorers Club and Travellers Club.
While most explorers focus on a specific genre like mountaineering or skiing, Johan Ernst has put his focus on the motivation and focusing in itself and not the actual adventure. It can be learning how to play the piano, getting married, climbing a mountain, moving to a new country or just daring to stand up for your right. The goals are different but the technique behind it the same.
After almost 20 years of exploration, adventures and expeditions Johan Ernst is now preparing a world tour with his new lecture “The Answer is Yes!”.
