About this listen
Alex Boylan
Amazing Race Winner | Creator and Host of Amazon Prime’s The College Tour
I’m Alex Boylan — an Emmy-nominated host, producer, and author whose career has been built by saying yes to adventure, uncertainty, and experience. I’ve circumnavigated the globe more than five times, filming in over 60 countries, and long before television ever entered the picture, I had already lived in South America during high school, Europe in college, and the Caribbean after graduation. Those early experiences shaped how I see risk, opportunity, and what it really means to build a meaningful life.
Many people first discovered me after I won Season 2 of The Amazing Race, but that moment was just one chapter in a much longer story. I went on to create Around the World For Free, the first online interactive travel series, and today I’m the creator and host of Amazon Prime’s The College Tour, now in its 16th season with more than 200 episodes spotlighting opportunity, education, and possibility.
What I bring to podcasts are engaging, story-driven conversations about travel, career design, taking smart risks, storytelling, and how life experience often matters more than a perfect résumé. I love sharing behind-the-scenes stories from global travel and television, but I always aim to leave listeners with practical takeaways they can apply to their own lives — whether that’s embracing discomfort, trusting curiosity, or designing a career that doesn’t follow a traditional script.
I’m also the author of The Miles That Make You, a reflection on how the moments that challenge us most often shape us the most. I’m happy to talk about the book, but I’m just as excited to explore any direction that best serves your audience and creates a memorable, high-energy conversation.
