Extraordinary interview that inspires me.

This is the best podcast I've been following.
I started a podcast last July, my friend recommended this to me as I'm also interviewing many outdoor enthusiasts , entrepreneurs or traveler. (in Mandarin) I fell in love with this show immediately. I'm addicted to it and I'm stoked by how big the world is and how powerful these stories brought to me. As a podcaster I know how complex to prep each interview and edit and to have such a great content , the whole production process is not a easy task.

Thank you again. I really learn a lot from each episode.
