In this episode:

Fuelled by his desire to escape his corporate day job, Brian Livingston started writing his debut novel before work, and late into the night when everyone else was sleeping. Those gruelling hours were worth it because he published his debut in 2022 and he hasn’t looked back.

Brian Livingston was born and raised in Atlanta, GA. He earned his B.A. in History at Clemson University before setting off to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail in 2013 (where he earned his trail name “Mister Frodo”). 

After his thru-hike, he started law school at Washington & Lee University School of Law, graduating in 2016. Since 2016, he has worked as a trial attorney in South Carolina. 

He currently resides in Charleston, SC with his wife, Olivia, and black lab, Maddux. His debut novel, The Habits of Squirrels, is inspired by experiences and encounters on the Appalachian Trail.
