Hello everyone and welcome to The show where nothing is made up…and the points still don’t matter.
From a young age I knew I was put on this planet to explore, but explorer isn’t really a job you can get nowadays, so I created a business that allowed me to give back to my community, while also traveling and exploring mostly full time. Along the way I met an incredible woman (Kim) and together we have taken both travel and business to a whole new level. This podcast is the story of our outlandish travels, the lessons we’ve learned, and how you can start taking the steps from Full Time to Travel Time.
