Episode 1 is the genesis story for the Bus Tickets podcast - my 3-day journey into war-torn Kosovo shortly after UN control was established in the early 2000's. Listening to it now feels like I'm listening to someone else's fantastical story. But it all started with a moment of decision. Do I buy that bus ticket in Sofia, Bulgaria. Or not. Thankfully - I stepped forward. And into the adventure that played out.

Now 20 years later almost to the month, I see that I am being invited to do the same. To watch. And listen. And respond to the promptings inside. To align with my inner compass as I navigate the path ahead. God only knows where that path will take me. But I am convinced it will be worth journey.

Following my inner prompt has led me to creating this Bus Tickets podcast. My deep desire is for Bus Tickets to encourage (to 'give courage') and empower (to literally 'give power to') those who listen. Inspiration to watch. And listen. And respond to their own inner promptings. And see what happens.

Ever felt like there is more to this life than what you're experiencing? There is a way to connect with that...thing. That nudge or dissatisfaction, pulling you toward the true north of your inner compass.

I have been on that quest for decades. 20 years ago I bought a bus ticket, prompted by my own inner compass. What unfolded was an unbelievable journey into an Eastern European militarized zone.

This Introduction 'pre-episode' offers a taste of what it means to live aligned with your core purpose. And what happens when you do.
