The Key Word is Vicarious

When we set our minds on the goal of becoming professional podcasters, we had laser focus that goes beyond any ambition we’ve ever had before. Our year-long road trip goal has a similar feeling. The goal actually seems almost impossible. We’re wanting to raise more money in two months than we’ve ever made in a single year. That’s what’s required if we do the trip debt free.

The thing that’s weird is that it doesn’t seem impossible or even difficult to accomplish. Two months from now, I might be writing that I was wrong, but right now, we’re moving forward with a tremendous amount of faith and expectation.

Some people are inspired by the Geek Brief story. We love it when we encourage someone to pursue a dream. I hope the Big Trip will do that and more. I hope it motivates people to try something they’ve always wanted to try.
