Do you want to create your own path and build a life around your passions?
Today I'm joined by author Tony Fletcher to talk about his experience interviewing music legends and his lessons from backpacking the world.
Tony has lived an incredible life, building a career around his passion for writing and music. He's conducted over 1,000 interviews and has written several best-selling biographies of famous musicians like Keith Moon, Wilson Pickett, R.E.M., and The Smiths.
In this episode, Tony shares what it was like to run a fanzine at 13 and the importance of getting out of your comfort zone. He gives valuable insight on how to connect with others on a deeper level, how travel can lead to profound reflection, and his #1 tip for maximizing your next travel experience.
Do you have a life-changing travel moment? I'd love to hear your story and hope you will share it by sending me an audio message.
