What happens when a mischievous TV star, author, and designer maker decides to challenge the status quo and live an authentic life? I'm excited to share my conversation with Max McMurdo as we explore his journey from finding his true self to his amazing outdoor life, living in a floating shipping container. His insights serve as a reminder to stay true to ourselves, embrace mischievousness, and rebel against the ordinary.
Max shares his creative approach to problem-solving, his view of himself as a 'jack of all trades,' and how important it is to consider the perspective of his 15-year-old self when creating something. We dive into the power of lateral thinking and discuss how it can lead to living a better life. From rugby to campervanning, Max's experiences and passions prove that there's no need to limit ourselves to conventional norms.
Lastly, we discuss the importance of accessibility in various aspects of life, such as Max's work building classrooms in Kenya and how he's making campervanning accessible to all. Join us for an inspiring and playful conversation that's sure to spark your curiosity and leave you feeling motivated to shake things up in your own life.

Not long ago I felt trapped by the daily grind and all the mundane stuff and responsibility it brought. I wanted to escape but instead of running away, I decided to rebel against the ordinary, live authentically, put FUN back on the agenda and do more of the things that made me feel alive. This podcast is one of them and through these conversations I'd love nothing more than to be able to help you do the same!
