Do What You Want!
The "Do What You Want" podcast is a place where I interview people who, at one point in their life said, “Ya know... I’m going to… do what I want” and then they go and… do what they want.
We're here to inspire others who are SO close to doing what they want, but may need a little inspiration or a push "off the cliff as they build the wings on the way down" (to quote Ray Bradbury).
Listeners can expect to hear stories straight from the mouths of adventurers, entrepreneurs and others who live life slightly (or very) outside the day-to-day norm many of us are used to.
If you're curious about:
- WHY people do the things they do
- WHAT other people do
- HOW people decide what is they WANT to do
... then you'll probably like this podcast.
Curious? Then give it a listen!
