A Tribute to Scott Dinsmore – Friend, Leader, Legend

Ep-190

8 days ago my friend Scott, founder of Live Your Legend, died while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

He was 33 years old.

And even though we had only met in person three times, his impact on my life was incredible.

When I found out about his death, I was shocked.

Crushed.

Depressed.

And while I those feelings are still bubbling inside of me – and probably will be for a long time – I’ve come to realize that the best way I can honor Scott is by helping to spread his incredible message to people who may not have heard it before.

Scott was truly one of the most inspiring, energetic, and enthusiastic people I know, and I recorded this podcast to help others who may be grieving from the loss of a loved one and also to inspire people by discussing the 4 biggest lessons I’ve learned from Scott over the years.

We only get one chance at life, so we better start living our legend.

Taking a Career Break with Sherry Ott of Meet Plan Go! – Part 1

EP-188v2

9 years ago Sherry Ott did something terrifying.

She quit her job to travel the world for a year.

Her career break turned into a life based around travel and expertise in how to take career breaks successfully in the United States.

Lots of advice out there on career breaks come from Australia, or the UK, where things like this are very common. But here in the USA, it’s not such an easy task.

Unless of course, Sherry’s helping you out!

Today we discuss how Sherry got the bug for travel, how her planned one year turned into 9, and about the correct way to make a gin & tonic. Apparently it’s a very specific process!

This is part 1 of a two-part interview. Check back on Thursday for the rest of our interview where we go more in-depth on the strategies of taking a career break and a great travel mishap!

Why We Spent 7,000 Dollars in 10 Days

EP-187

You all know how I am with money.

I’ve even been called “miserly” in the past (thanks, Heth)

So the title of this podcast might intrigue you. It’s not something you would expect from me, the (sometimes) frugalest of frugal travelers.

But I don’t regret a second of it!

Heather joins me today as we talk about one of our best travel experiences of all time, our trip to Kenya!

We went as part of a group of entrepreneurs to help build schools and go on safari, and we couldn’t have asked for a better time.

Sometimes it really is worth paying someone else to handle all the details…
