"We must let go of the life we have planned so as to accept the one that is waiting for us." - Joseph Campbell Subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher Radio, Soundcloud or TuneIn Do you feel you've earned the right to travel? Are you willing to give yourself the permission to go? Can doing so help you make a more informed decision about what you want to do with your life? Ask a guy who tried four different career tracks -- including the military, law, corporate finance, and real estate -- before discovering what he believes is his purpose. Today’s guest is the host of a top-rated business podcast called Entrepreneur On Fire. He’s not normally known for his travels, and to my knowledge, he hasn’t really discussed them before this podcast. But John has a captivating travel background that I wanted to bring to light, which involves an active tour of duty in Iraq, four months spent living with a family in Guatemala, and dropping out of law school to spend another four months exploring India and trekking the Himalayas in Nepal, including the Annapurna Circuit. He just got back from the Philippines because, more recently, his work has created speaking opportunities all over the world. If you listen to his podcast, you're already familiar with John Lee Dumas the Entrepreneur. But on this show, get to know John Lee Dumas, the Traveler. What You'll Learn Why John didn't reenter the workforce after returning from his military service How John's travels have given him the confidence to seek adventure and then giving himself permission to go after it What sort of training did John have to do the Annapurna Circuit How John's experiences in the military prepared him for his travels, and how his travels prepared him for more challenging adventure Mentioned on this Show Entrepreneur On Fire Panajashel, Guatemala ("Eden") The Annapurna Circuit Music Credit: Move Slow by Felxprod ft.
