Sym knows a ton about longevity. He shares his secrets. In the 2nd half of the conversation, we do a deep-dive in health and how to become a centenarian.
This is the 20th episode of the WanderLearn podcast and I wanted to celebrate with an epic and entertaining conversation.
There are two types of people who should listen to this podcast:
1. You have a vacation property that you'd like to rent out in a hassle-free way.
2. You're looking to rent a luxurious, professionally-managed home all for yourself (and your friends/family) on your vacation.
Vacasa has 10,000 homes in their portfolio.
You might think their competitor is Airbnb or Booking.com.
Not exactly.
Kirsteene Phelan, Acting CEO of Rome2Rio, has a 15-minute conversation with me to discuss her company's new partnership with Lonely Planet and what it means to the average traveler.
We hit on other topics, including:
- How is Rome2Rio different than Google maps and other travel planners?
- How do they get offline data online?
- What's the best way to break into the travel industry?
- What's her long-term vision for Rome2Rio? Where are they traveling to?
This is the 18th WanderLearn podcast episode.
We mention Bla Bla carpooling, which Rome2Rio integrates with. It's a great way to get around in Europe. It's a pity that the USA doesn't have an app that is equally popular.
At the end of 2017, I made my predictions for 2018. Although I got a couple of things wrong, I was surprisingly accurate.
Since the point of this exercise is to prove how wrong we can all be, I need to do the same exercise for 2019 with the hope that I get more things wrong. I encourage you to make predictions in the comments. It's a humbling experience.
Here are seven predictions of what I think we'll witness in 2019:
JoAnneh Nagler gives tips, ideas, and strategies that help us build a life we love, in the real world.
This approach inspired her to write three self-help books:
- Naked Marriage: How to Have a Lifetime of Love, Sex, Joy and Happiness
- How to Be an Artist Without Losing Your Mind, Your Shirt, or Your Creative Compass
- The Debt-Free Spending Plan, a five-minute-a-day approach to easy money clarity.
In this half-hour interview, JoAnneh focuses on her second book so that you can figure out how to survive (and perhaps even thrive) as an artist.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- If you're being called to be an artist.
- How to be a healthy artist.
- Do you need a day job?
- What's better: Kickstarter or Patreon?
- Is there a real difference between being an artist and being a plumber?
What's it like to trek across some of the wildest parts of Africa? Tim Butcher has done two epic journeys that follow the footsteps of two 19th-century explorers:
- Graham Greene (West Africa)
- Henry Morton Stanley (Congo)
Tim Butcher is a British-born author who lives in South Africa. He's written extensively about the continent and knows it well.
In episode #15 of the WanderLearn podcast, Tim and I discuss his three books:
- Chasing the Devil: On Foot Through Africa's Killing Fields
- Blood River: The Terrifying Journey Through The World's Most Dangerous Country
- Trigger: Hunting the Assassin Who Brought the World to War
This episode packed with stories of adventure in the sketchiest parts of Africa.
The best reason to listen is that you get to hear Tim's delightful British accent.
