In this episode, the roles are switched as your host, Grayson Harris, sits in the interviewee chair to share his story.

Grayson's story has been featured in multiple books, podcast appearances, and articles.
Initially captivated by travel during a family trip to Europe, he pursued his dream of living and working abroad. Through intentional planning and seizing opportunities, he navigated job changes, workplace dynamics, and the uncertainties brought by a tumultuous moment. His dedication to remote work not only enabled him to work from various countries but later led him to creating a whole new position at the company centered around flexible work. When later given a big choice, he decided to leave his job to pursue a new venture, driven by the mission to inspire others to take their own dirt path.
