HBM017: How I Learned to Love Rejection (part 1)

This is part 1 of 2.

Listen to part 2

In the summer of 2011, a scared 22 year old decided to hitch hike across America. He was trying to meet real Americans. However, there was a caveat—he was also terrified of strangers.

That young traveler was me. Fear was becoming far too prevalent in my life, so I headed out onto the road. This episode looks at the lessons I learned in the first half of that trip, meeting a pastor, finding a strange cave, admiring the bizarre beauty of Yellowstone, and witnessing a fatal shooting.

Part 2 coming soon!

The Here Be Monsters Podcast is a growing community of producers and artists and musicians and thinkers, oriented to follow fears, and the unknown and anything that’s confusing or interesting.

Right now, we’re doing a fundraiser for the show, selling a really unique and funny magazine with photos from this hitchhiking trip. SUPPORT THE SHOW!
