It is just us again, Whitney and Greg, back with another “What We’re Built On” conversation where we dive into the values that sit at the core of Vienna Waits. This time, we are talking about adventure.

Adventure is one of those words that can mean a lot of things: booking a retreat before you have ever even been to one, hopping on a plane to somewhere new, or simply saying yes to the unknown. For us, it is fueled by mountain bike races, half marathons, backcountry camping trips, and travels with our kids. It also shows up in smaller ways like trying something different for dinner or starting a conversation that scares you a little.

In this episode we explore the upside of adventure including building grit, resilience, stronger bonds, and a deeper sense of meaning. We also talk about the harder side, like how a restless spirit can sometimes create tension or make stability feel impossible. We share personal stories, research backed benefits, and examples from our community of people who are saying yes to bold, scary, or simply new experiences.

Whether adventure for you means moving across the world, picking up a new hobby, or just stepping off autopilot, this episode is about leaning into the unknown and seeing what it has to teach you.

Every other Thursday, we talk to people who got UNBLOCKED. You'll hear stories about finding clarity, career paths, career pivots and living with intention. Our guests tell us how they realized something had to change, made bold moves, and built lives that feel more aligned, more alive, and more intentional. We’ll share some of our own stories too, because we’re right here, figuring it out like everyone else.

In this episode, Greg sits down with Australian singer, songwriter, and musician Bobby Alu for a wide-ranging conversation about creativity, movement, rest, and what it really takes to stay in flow. From touring the world to trusting his gut and going solo, Bobby shares how he’s built a life around rhythm—onstage and off.

Bobby's music is known for capturing the feeling of your favorite drink at sunset. But behind that breezy vibe is someone who has taken big creative risks, followed unlikely threads, and chosen a path that prioritizes joy, intuition, and people over convention.

Together, Greg and Bobby talk about what it really means to live and create in flow. They dig into the unexpected moments that shape us, and what it looks like to build a life and career around rest, movement, and community.

Here are just a few of the themes they explore in the episode:

• The power of rest and Bobby’s philosophy on naps and recharging
• What he calls his “Rhythm Quest” to Ghana and how it helped him reconnect with presence and passion
• The importance of movement and why any step counts
• How we often glorify the leap of faith when the real challenge is surviving the free fall
• Why people and connection are the real compass in both life and business
• Letting go of control and allowing spontaneity to shape the creative process
• Creating space on purpose to invite magic and possibility
• What it means to keep things in perspective and “Keep It Tropical” even when life feels uncertain

There’s a lot packed into this one—travel stories, rhythm quests, real talk about creativity, and how to move through the stuck moments without overthinking them. It’s one of those conversations you’ll want to revisit. And if you’re looking to add something new to your bookshelf, listen to the end for Bobby’s go-to book recommendation.



Enjoy this conversation with Bobby Alu.
