Aside from traveling being fun and something that gives you great stories to tell those back home, it is also an incredible way to learn about yourself and about others. You gain so many invaluable experiences from doing so. In this episode, we have Lifestyle Conversationalist Jesse Ortiz talk about how travel has helped him grow. Jesse's story is unique in that he hasn't necessarily traveled far and wide like many other entrepreneurs (he is a father of four). However, that doesn't mean that you can't learn from traveling to another part of your country, be it another state, province, region, etc. His take and advice on doing so is the subject of this podcast.
