Five countries. Six cities. Olympic tickets. A two-star Michelin restaurant. A near meltdown over very expensive seats. And more walking in the cold than Angela would normally tolerate.

This is the full story.

In this extended version of episode 211, we let you behind the curtain of the trip and of our friendship. We unpack the moments that did not make Instagram, the history nerd rabbit trails, the money conversations, the unexpected disappointments, and the small mindset shifts that changed the entire experience.

Inside this episode, we talk about:

• Working remotely from Greece and what that experiment taught us
• The reality of Olympic logistics and managing expectations
• Spending real money on meaningful experiences
• What nervous system growth looks like in action
• How leadership, history, and travel intersect
• Why some seasons allow for big adventures and others look very different

Living for your future self does not mean everything goes perfectly. It means you show up intentionally anyway.

This conversation is thoughtful, layered, a little nerdy, and very real. If you love behind-the-scenes stories with depth, honest processing, and the long version of how growth actually unfolds, settle in and listen all the way through.

Someday, 80-year-old you is going to want stories worth telling. This might be the episode that helps you start living them.
