The startBAD Podcast: Recent Episodes
Mahad Aamir
Everyone in this world has a purpose, and a story to tell. While we work towards realizing our purpose, we also craft a narrative of our life's journey.
This is a podcast about dreamers working towards bringing their aspirations to life regardless of how out of this world it might be. In the pursuit of building his own dream, the host, Mahad Aamir sits down with individuals from a variety of domains to learn from their stories and discover how they find purpose in the path they have chosen to take.
In this episode, Sean Kernerman walks us through his adventures through Australia and Bali to step beyond a life of complacency and stability. Sean discusses how he fell in love with photography, what convinced him to give up a comfortable life for one with high risks (and high rewards of course!), escaping forest fires in Australia, and what it means to trust one's gut decisions.
