Gary Arndt has traveled the world, built a successful blog, and captured stunning photography—but when the pandemic hit, he pivoted in a big way. In this episode, we sit down with the host of the wildly popular "Everything Everywhere Daily" podcast to unpack how Gary’s curiosity fueled a 13-year global adventure and led to over 1,700 episodes of bite-sized, fascinating stories. From his first jet-lagged night in Tokyo to being surrounded by penguins on a remote island, Gary shares unforgettable travel moments, the challenges of turning passion into profession, and why algorithms are killing serendipity. Whether you're a curious learner, aspiring podcaster, or travel enthusiast, this conversation is packed with insight and inspiration.
