Trailer of the podcast
The Next Adventure Podcast dives into the struggles and growth, thought the lives of everyday people. Sharing philosophies and principles that guide us to make sense of our own life.
During my quarter life crisis, I made a documentary film called, Now That I'm 25. Based on the concept of comparing, I brought together my friends all born in the year 1996, to learn that we are not so different in struggling to find ourselves and our life purpose. Through the interviews and off camera conversations, it allowed me to find comfort in my life.
This podcast was inspired by those interactions, with the mission to help you find comfort in your life path.
