Today’s guest is an online entrepreneur, the host of two business podcasts - Mobile Mixed, and more recently Leaving Corporate - and he’s not known for his travels. But, Greg Hickman is without a doubt in my mind, an explorer and lifelong learner. I know this because of the nature of his podcast. Right out of college, he went on a whirlwind tour backpacking Europe for 3-months. That’s less extreme than some of the guests we have on here, but perhaps more of a reality for most people who want to make travel a bigger priority in their lives. More recently, he got back from the Philippines because his business has opened up opportunities to speak in places all over the country and world. BUT before all of this, he was a dreamer who’s always grappled with doing the right thing in his career.
So I’m excited to give him the chance to speak about that, as well as how embracing uncertainty has paid off for him in a big way, and whether travel has anything to do with having that mindset in life.
