354 Stephen Marriott ~ The Life-Changing Magic of Walking a Long-Distance Trail

I'm excited to introduce today's guest, Stephen Marriott. He’s an independent author of two novels in what he calls The Reluctant Pilgrim series, and he’s an avid long-distance walker, as am I. We have a fantastic conversation about the magic of long-distance walking, and how it can change your life. This is one of those episodes where I could have gone one for much, much longer, but I’m not sure I’m ready to break into long-form podcasting just yet.
