Seven Continents in One Year | Solo Travel, Growth & Self-Discovery | At the Podium

Описание: What happens when travel becomes more than destinations on a map—and instead becomes a reflection of our shared humanity?

In this episode of At the Podium, Patrick Huey sits down with Cole Sjoholm to explore what it means to go beyond what you think is possible and discover that you were enough all along.

After more than twenty years in banking and finance, Cole made an extraordinary decision in 2023: he traveled solo to all seven continents in a single calendar year. What followed was not a pursuit of destinations, but a deeper reckoning with identity, belonging, and shared humanity.

Across this sweeping conversation, Cole reflects on perspective, choice, and the unseen support (his “cheerleaders,” as he calls them) that carries us forward even when we don’t realize it’s there. The episode moves into deeper territory as Cole recounts standing in Nagasaki, where the second atomic bomb was dropped during World War II. Here, history became visceral rather than distant for Cole. Patrick draws parallels to his own experience visiting the Dachau concentration camp. Together they reflect on humanity’s capacity for both extraordinary creation and devastating harm—and the responsibility we carry to choose grace, compassion, and connection.

At its heart, this is an episode about grace, courage, gratitude, and living a life of bold possibility.
