Maestro on the Mic

Come take a trip with me. So, you guys know I’m all about making connections and making information relevant and digestible. This episode I brought on Collette and Scott Stohler, professional story-tellers and content creators, who get paid to travel the world and tell about it. Now, honestly, Instagram would have you believe that it’s as easy and glamorous as it looks, but we all know that social media is a bit of a duck in the water…calm above and frantically paddling under water. Collette and Scott give you the real deal.

But, let’s call a spade a spade. Their start is probably a little bit different than yours, and what social media shows you may make their lifestyle seem completely unattainable. But you know me. I ain’t about smoke and fluff, and I brought them on for a reason. At its heart, their story is inspiring and their mission is sound. Their early days looked like a whole lot of guessing, trial and error, and following their passion to create the life they wanted…a life where their work went in to supporting their dreams, not building someone else’s. This is a story we can all get behind.

So come and join me for a virtual trip around the world. I call window seat.
