Welcome to the Authentic Dad Podcast! I'm David Waranch and I coach dads on having a greater impact in the world, living on their own terms, and flourishing in their relationships.
Today, I'm joined by Brendan James singer-songwriter Brendan James. In 2018, Brendan took a hiatus from touring, sold his house and hit the road for a once in a lifetime trip around the world with his wife and pre-school aged children. The journey brought the family closer together and inspired a batch of new songs. Brendan wrote the majority of the material for his new album Leap Taken on his laptop while traveling with his family, save for two new songs that were written in quarantine.
Brendan and family began their globe-spanning trip in Holland and traveled to England, France, Italy, Croatia, Spain, Iceland, Rwanda, Thailand, and New Zealand staying in each country a minimum of fifteen days. They avoided tourist attractions, sought out local playgrounds and shopped at grocery stores to cook family meals together. The best part of the trip for the songwriter was going to sleep and waking up as a family every day for six months.
"Leap Taken" was released on October 20, 2020.
