I usually alternate between interviews and solo episodes, but I decided to mix things up a bit this time around. Why? Because this conversation with Lex Latkovski is one I've wanted to get out into the world for a while now. And I felt that there was no better time than now to do so.
Lex's mission is to have you to laugh and see the world and your life as an endless source of adventure and opportunity. He wants you to live a fulfilled life with no regrets – and to chase your dreams while you can.
Lex's work is featured over at The Lexpedition and he's the author of https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HQ6N36Q (Passport Forward: Moving from Regrets and Routine to Freedom, Passion, and Adventure). He's also a serial traveler and adventure seeker – something that isn't as easy to make happen in 2020. Nonetheless, Lex's message and sense of vitality were on full display during our conversation. I hope you enjoy it and it helps you - even in some small way - get more out of this amazing adventure called life!
