Traveling for work can be exhausting. How can we stay happy and healthy while doing a job that requires extensive travel?
Colin Ryan is a comedic financial speaker who uses humor, storytelling, and motivation to bring the dry subject of personal finance to life. He has spoken to over 500,000 students and adults across North America, and was named one of the top 10 financial presenters in the U.S.
It's probably not surprising to hear that Colin travels a lot for work. You might be surprised to hear how much he enjoys it. He hasn't just mastered the art of staying healthy and happy while traveling. His experiences with traveling have actually enhanced his wellbeing.
What's his secret? A special diet? A new type of exercise routine?
Nope. It's people.
In this episode, Colin describes how the sincere connections he creates with other people help him manage his energy and mental health. He shares some of the experiences he's had while traveling, and how they've been so different from all the division and danger that we see in the news.
“I’ve had the best conversations ever with shuttle drivers or the Hertz rental desk person," Colin says. "People will surprise you if you make space.”
One of the stories he shares is about giving a talk to a group of teen moms in an alternative high school program. Colin describes how that experience allowed him to confront some of his own assumptions and biases. He talks about how those young moms helped him learn to be curious, give respect, and look for the intelligence in people.
