In today’s interview, Danny joins me to talk about starting your own business, his #1 secret for launching a hit book on Amazon, and the importance of 1,000 true fans.
We even take some time to talk about one of my dream destinations, Bhutan!
This is part 1 of a 2 part interview. Check back on Thursday for the rest!
On Tuesday Leon McCarron joined me to chat about what he’s been up to since his last appearance on the EPoP podcast over 150 episodes ago!
Today we dive deep into the filming of Karun: Misadventures On Iran’s Longest River. (Watch the trailer below if you haven’t already seen it!)
Leon talks about the different landscapes they encountered throughout Iran, breaks down the costs of filming the documentary and traveling through the country (a number which you’re never going to believe), along with discussing how adding filming to the mix changes how they traveled.
Aside from the film we also chat about Leon’s penchant for traveling with other adventurers, how he chooses his travel partners, and if you should even travel with other people!
He also shares a hilarious travel mishap where he looses the one thing he really needs to paddle down a river. You’ll have to watch the movie for the end of that story though!
This is Part 2 of a 2 part interview. Click here to check out Part 1, where we discuss what Leon’s been up to in the last 16 months and his many adventures!
“British adventurers Tom Allen and Leon McCarron set out to follow Iran’s longest river, the Karun, by human powered means. Their aim is to go beyond the politics and explore the culture and geography of this most misunderstood of nations – and have a great adventure doing so. But despite Tom’s previous experience of travel in Iran, they find that cultural differences run deeper than they’d realised. And when the once-calm waters of the Karun turn nasty, they wonder if they’ve bitten off more than they can chew…”
And so reads the summary for the newly released documentary, Karun: Misadventures On Iran’s Longest River.
Leon McCarron, one of the adventures on this journey (and previous podcast guest!) joins us today to chat about what he’s been up to in the last 150 episodes, including two adventures, how he has managed to make “adventurer” his job title, and the beginning of a conversation on his journey through Iran that led to the creation of Karun!
Leon is an awesome guy, with some awesome things to say on the difference between perception & reality, how to go for what you really want, and adventure!
This is Part 1 of a 2 part interview. Check back on Thursday for more in-depth conversations about Karun!
On Tuesday Bryan gave us the skinny on how he created CorkSharing, but today we’re going to talk about the business itself.
But before we get to the benifits of CorkSharing, both for the consumer, and for the wineries themselves, we listen to some AWESOME stories from GetMyBoat.com and some of the great things people have been able to do with the service.
We also chat about how to start a business by solving your own problems, the differences between self-discovery and researching (and why they’re both awesome) and ask Bryan to share some of his favorite destinations around the globe.
And what good episode wouldn’t end with a travel mishap?!
This is Part 2 of a 2 part interview. To listen to part one, where we discuss more details about creating your own business and GetMyBoat.com click here!
Today he joins us to talk about his two businesses, GetMyBoat.com & CorkSharing.com and how they cater to the access mindset.
In Part 1 we focus on GetMyBoat and chat about the sharing economy, what GetMyBoat is exactly and what it covers (they have watersport stuff too!), and what to know before you rent.
Another topic of interest is a lengthy discussion on the entrepreneurial spirit and how to find ideas for businesses.
Part 2 continues on Thursday where we discuss more about CorkSharing and Bryan’s favorite places around the globe!
