The man who walked around the world

The man who walked around the world

This week on the pod, I’m honored to have on Tom Turcich, author of The World Walk.

Tom spent the last seven years walking across the Earth.

He walked a total of 28,000 miles, averaging 14 miles per day. It was just him and his dog Savannah.

Only 10 others have circumnavigated the Earth in history. That’s two less than the number of humans who’ve stood on the moon.
.

.
As you can imagine, Tom faced all manner of challenges, and weather, and doubts over those years.

And his story is a beautiful example of what’s possible when you make a commitment, and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Here’s what we talked about:
..
01:15 - How a simple idea can lead to extraordinary transformation

18:21 - The power of letting go of material attachments

23:45 - How having larger plans helps minimize smaller struggles

31:31 - What pushing through obstacles really looks like

45:36 - Finding inspiration in the kindness of strangers

48:05 - How unexpected companions can change your life’s path

1:03:07 - The secret to achieving big goals that no one talks about

1:11:38 - How to stay committed when your plans don’t go as expected

1:21:03 - Why starting small can lead to life’s biggest transformations

Otherwise, I’ll see you Friday for the next Plot Twist episode!

Enjoy!
