“Don’t follow well-lit paths, grab a machete and hack down your own '', says unorthodox change maker and creator AJ Leon. Sometimes you need permission, encouragement, or simply to hear the voice of a like-minded stranger, tell you it’s OK to follow the breadcrumbs of your life and to go ahead and do things your way…even if it looks very different from other people’s.
Author, designer, investor and true global citizen, AJ joins me at the table this week to talk about living nomadically around the world, making big things happen, and how you really can create a life on your own terms.
Listen as we discuss how to let yourself dream again, challenging the status quo of what’s possible and the daunting yet exciting experience that reinventing yourself can be.
“There are few things more dangerous in life than waiting”, he says in his book “The Life and Times of a Remarkable Misfit, a collection of essays about living with intention, doing work that actually matters and changing the world’.
Here are some things you’ll discover in this episode:
- How to widen your lens to what’s really possible.
- Ways to overcome the challenges of navigating change.
- What to do about the fact that this is not your Practice Life. This is all there is.
- Helpful practical tools and insights to begin again.
- and so more…
Enjoy!
