Episode notes

Ever felt like life’s locked you in a box and thrown away the key? Tom Davies (GeoWizard) knows the feeling—and he picked the locks with curiosity and a pinch of madness.

This isn’t your standard self-help fluff. Tom went from odd jobs and dead-end days to having 1.4 million followers watching his adventures. His fame launched when he crossed Wales in a straight line, just because he asked, “What if?”

His adventures aren’t just geography—they’re psychology in action. Discover why quitting a steady job for a “silly idea” might be the sanest thing you ever do.

Life’s a story waiting to be lived; many people scroll past it on their phones.

Turn anxiety into fuel by setting playful, challenging goals.
Build resilience through micro-adventures and saying yes before you’re ready.
Start telling more stories for the love of it (even if nobody records them).

Ready to swap comfort for curiosity? Hit play and start walking your own line.
