The Maverick Show single-handedly changed the trajectory of my life. When I was stuck in corporate, the podcast gave me a glimpse into the digital nomad world and what life could be. It gave me the inspiration and courage to start traveling the world full-time and it's wild to think where I would be if I had never heard the show.
