In today's episode I talk to Jake Heilbrunn about his inspiring story of dropping out of college to go on a soul searching journey through Central America, all captured in his new book "Off The Beaten Trail". This self discovery journey gave Jake the opportunity to overcome fears, expand his perspective, and inspire himself to do (and be) things he didn't think possible. Not only is the book itself an example of intention at work, but also the way that Jake sought out funding and endorsements. Jake is also a speaker who uses his story to inspire people to follow their intuition and believe in their own greatness.
