Shaking The Routine: Around the World with Logan Hyder

A friendship that started on LinkedIn....

First podcast episode with a guest is live, yall!! Logan and I met through LinkedIn. Yep, another story of a stranger from the internet turned friend. Buckle up.

Listen to the episode

If you're looking for inspiration to take a leap, travel, or simply explore new possibilities within your life and circumstances, or shake up the routine, Logan’s story is sure to spark some motivation. Listen to it here on Substack, on Spotify, or Apple Podcasts.

In this episode, I chat with Logan about how he embarked on an incredible nine-month travel adventure. He shares all the ups and downs of his journey, from the personal growth that came with stepping out of his comfort zone to the meaningful connections he made with people all over the world.

We talked about how taking the “long way home” means not being afraid to take a detour, talk to a stranger, or go on a side quest even if it takes us longer to reach our destination. Because the best things in life don’t happen when we take shortcuts. They happen when we take the long way home.

Three Hours to Pack and a One-Way Ticket Around the World

This is an invitation to read this as you would the middle chapter of a book. There’s a lot that came before this and a lot that is happening after. But this is my best attempt at capturing this particular story that doesn’t have a clear beginning or end.

This is what I learned from paragliding with my Uber driver and a stranger from the internet.

Life’s best moments are the unexpected ones. The ones that don’t require planning, they just happen. The ones where in the midst of them you smile to yourself in disbelief of it all.
