A Race Around the World, Meeting Strangers Abroad, and Storytelling With Adrien Behn

How can we look back in history to find inspiration and motivation for our next move forward? Today, Adrien Behn joins me to talk about the incredible journey of Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland, two female writers who raced each other around the world in 1889. Adrien Behn is the host of the Strangers Abroad podcast and the newly released non-fiction narrative podcast, A Race Around the World: Based on the True Story of Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland. In this episode, Adrien gives us an overview of how their incredible adventure began, her creative process for developing the podcast, and how she relates to it as a world traveler herself. We have a deeper conversation around the art of storytelling, finding your voice, and the lessons from this journey that can inspire us today. What did you take away from Nellie and Elizabeth’s story? Is there a historical moment that’s inspired you? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
