Today’s guest walked across America and lived to tell a TED Talk about it. Nate Damm took seven months to walk across fourteen states, clear across the continent of North America, and in this conversation today I cannot wait to ask him, “Why? Why would you do this?”
And what came out of the experience? Including a book, Life on Foot: A Walk Across America. And a guide, How to Walk Across America for anyone who dares to follow in his literal footsteps.
