From Top of the Ladder Corporate Living to Van Life with Where We Wander Down Under

From number one revenue earner for four years straight in his corporate role, and client services agent for Louis Vuitton, Chris and Sam have taken the leap away from their highly successful corporate roles to pursue a temporary life on the road. After experiencing an unexpected change in plans, Chris and Sam had to assess what truly mattered to them and evaluate the life and legacy they wanted to create.

In this episode, Desirée, Chris and Sam discuss what it means to live by your own standards of success, the value of meaningful contribution to society, how to overcome fear and subpar circumstances to chase your dreams, and what it means to live a life that truly lights you up.
