🦄✈️ If you dream of leaving behind an office or "normal" life path to travel the world and make art: this is for you.

Scott Sporleder - longtime adventure photographer, filmmaker, and Creative Director at Matador Network - joins me to unpack what it really takes to design a one-of-a-kind creative lifestyle. This isn't just about career: it's about losing the map, trusting your voice, and unlocking the magic of a life that finds stillness in motion.

In this episode:

  • 💼 Scott’s journey from $25 freelance gigs to a dream career

  • 🌏 Stories and advice from traveling the world - from life-altering moments in the Outback to his “no headphones” philosophy

  • 🎨 What it means to be a multi-hyphenate (and whether you really need to niche down)

  • 🗣️ Why you need to stop trying to “find your voice” - and realize you already have it (check out 40:50 for my favorite moment)

As someone who once commuted into NYC at 21, dreaming of a nomadic life and bingeing travel podcasts... This episode is one of my absolute favorites.
