Liftoff Journeys
Her daughter wanted to bathe people for money. His parents sent him to study volcanoes.
That’s Liftoff Journeys.
It’s me sitting down with really interesting people and letting the conversation go where it actually goes. Not the résumé stuff. Not the polished story. The parts you only get when people stop editing themselves.
The conversations always drift into the stuff that usually gets skipped; the wrong turns, the awkward pauses, the decisions that felt risky but were really ultimately smart. People talk the way they talk when they’re being honest with a friend.
As you’re listening, you’re not sitting there thinking about them, you’re thinking about you. You realize the choice you’ve been putting off and the part of your life that feels like it’s waiting for a move is ready to be unleashed.
This is the podcast for people who don’t need context. People who don’t need to “learn” anything. People like you, who just listen, and somehow things start clicking.
Put this podcast on while you’re doing literally ...anything... and end up more invested than you meant to be, because the conversations are that good.
If you like stories that unfold in real time, without a script or a clean ending, Liftoff Journeys will pull you in.
