Unassuming lifestyle entrepreneur Kevin Swan joins us today to discuss his latest “project”--packing up his family in an Airstream trailer and traveling across the USA. It's about making decisions and acting on them. It's about kicking fear to the curb and trusting that you can solve any problem that arises. Ultimately it's about courage, trust and willpower. Three qualities each and every Creative Warrior must embrace everyday.
