Description:

Almost a decade ago, I traveled to San Diego to play in a World Series of Poker event. This kid sat next to me: headphones, beard, hat backward. I don’t usually talk to the players much, let alone 21-year-old college students, but this guy and I got on like a house on fire. He was just 21 and I was 50, but we found so much common ground, and we’ve been good friends since.

Cultural tourism

This worldly 20-something (now 30-something) has just returned from a nine-month trip "cultural tourism" through South America on a school bus. He visited the rich and poorest, indigenous and rural communities, artists, scientists, and politicians.  The journey was Odyssian, with severe hardship, cultural clashes, injury, and danger: in this podcast, we barely capture the intensity.  His stories will inform and touch your heart.  Tune in for a different kind of conversation on Think Bigger, Think Better this week.
