Making A CHANGE ft Luke Lewis

Making A CHANGE ft Luke Lewis

Welcome back to FIO- the podcast about Figuring it Out with your host Maddy Maddawg Forberg. In this episode, we have our first guest ever, the Luke Lewis. I wanted Luke to be the first guest because his story is one of the most motivating, inspiring, and risky stories I've heard: giving up comfort in the UK and moving to America to pursue a dream. The first half of this podcast is talking about Luke's story, discussing challenges along the way and offering advice and perspective to listeners who may be on the brink of risk taking. We go on discuss confronting the challenges that come with making huge risks in your life: from loneliness, doubt, to imposter syndrome. We finish the episode off by answering YOUR questions and giving some insight on some vulnerable, personal stories. Please remember to like, subscribe/follow, rate, review the podcast.
