E32 Sharing Lessons from A Trip To Nepal with Michael Cordone

My brother Michael just came back from a month long trip to Nepal and shares what he learned.

In this episode I sat down with my twin brother Michael to discuss his recent trip to a small remote village in Nepal. Michael shares some of the lessons he learned and shares his insight into the village's way of life. While he was there he helped rebuild homes that were damaged from an earthquake. We discussed his approach to photographing the people and the warm reception from the village community. Michael talks about the village's close-knit and self-reliant community and how different their way of life is from ours. Through Michael's reflections, the conversation explores cultural differences, the power of human connection, and the rewards of stepping out of comfort zones.
