Today I’m back with Brendan for Part 2 of our awesome interview.
Brendan starts off after flipping the interview on it’s head and asks me what motivates me to continue living the lifestyle I’ve chosen.
We move from there to talking about how awesome freedom is, why everyone should travel at least a little, the “busy” trap, and why everyone should go find a new taco stand in their city.
And last but not least we get an awesome piece of travel advice.
Brendan Leonard is not a good enough skier to get caught in an avalanche.
You may wonder what on earth that means.
The answer is the key to Brendan’s site, Semi-rad.com. A site for regular people, who like the outdoors. Not professional climbers, or skiers, but regular people going outside to do something they love because they love it.
Today Brendan joins us to talk about how he got into the outdoor lifestyle, how taking a conference call from his smelly car changed his life, and the reality behind the concept of security.
So listen to Part 1 of this awesome interview, and learn what Brendan means by not being a good enough skier to get caught in an avalanche. His reason may lead you to more answers than you expected.
Today we discuss the biggest challenges of long term travel, a great way to find out if this lifestyle is really for you, and an awesome way to reframe some of the negative commentaries from friends and family that don’t understand what you’re doing.
We also discuss a topic that is much beloved by our listeners, relationships on the road. Evo discusses some of the strengths and weaknesses that he and his wife have, and how their roles have changed in their marriage since leaving their default lifestyle behind.
