How Travel Rewires Your Purpose: Corey Watts | Part 2

In Part 2 of my conversation with Corey Watts, we go far beyond travel stories. This chapter is about the moments that rearrange your priorities, the experiences that shift your goals, and the unexpected ways the world teaches you who you really are. Corey opens up about: * How seeing extreme poverty reshaped his sense of privilege * The opportunities he realized he had been taking for granted * Why goals aren’t fixed — they evolve as you evolve * Leaving construction to pursue a life with more freedom and mobility * How travel helped him rethink purpose, work, and what “success” actually means * The beauty of exploring the United States with fresh eyes * The overlooked power of being recognized, believed in, and understood This episode is about growth, perspective, and the courage to rewrite your story — whether you’re on the other side of the world or standing on a construction site wondering what’s next.
