>> Yes, something so random
and travel. We’ve got a couple
minutes left. Mike, what have
you learned about travel
through all of these various
conversations?
So what I really learned is
that we’re all more similar
and we are different and if
you listen to the first 30 or
40 podcast episodes, you can we
get excited as guest uniquely
started sharing similar themes
as part of their many people.
Travel stories. So during the pandemic, I went back through
pandemic, I went back through

categorize some of the stem and
similar themes. What I created the principles of how to travel

with meaning.

are some obstacles? It just get
in the way of meaningful
travel.

get their own way. Just that’s
what we do. I think one of the
big things that is an obstacle
is that all spent way too much
time and energy thinking about what’s happened before and
what’s happened before and
what’s going to happen next
that we missed that moment
right in front of us. And
that’s sometimes where the
magic is. The other big thing. That’s an obstacle
That’s an obstacle
is expectations. And I like
saved by the killers, sometimes
got to just let step going,
really go with the flow in.
You never know if you go with
the flow. That’s where rewards could come in.
could come in.
