Ep. 440: How a Lyft Ride and a Trip to Disney Led to Starting a Himalayan Trekking Company - Mark Johnson
09 Nov 2018
When most people go to Disney World they're not really inspired to go and start a trekking company halfway around the actual world. As you'll learn from this episode, Mark is not most people. In fact, that trip to Disney coupled with a Lyft ride was enough for him and his wife, Holly, to totally transform their lives to pursue a dream that seemed impossible, especially to the folks around them in rural Tennessee. I hope you're as inspired as I am after hearing about this amazing adventure that should prove to us that anything is possible from anywhere, you just have to start moving. www.hobnailtrekkingco.com www.facebook.com/hobnailtrekkingcompany www.twitter.com/HobnailTrekCo www.doofusdad.com Instagram: @hobnailtrekkingco Upcoming book: https://www.amazon.com/Doofus-Does-Everest-Base-slightly-less-than-epic-ebook/dp/B07K5JY5JN/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541356618&sr=8-1&keywords=doofus+dad It goes live Nov. 13 but is available for pre-order now.
