Two creative thinkers, Chanel Cartell and Stevo Dirnberger quit their jobs in corporate advertising to see how far from home they could really get, both physically and figuratively. They put together a wanderlist and encouraged anyone and everyone to add to it and they've been exploring and creating since early 2015. Their inspiring story and twist on the "creative sabbatical" has been featured by Instagram, The Huffington Post, MailOnline, BuzzFeed and AdWeek.

Listen to Chanel & Stevo chat more about their creative journey, the perils of hangry-ness and some of their inspiration that's lead them to collect moments rather than things.

In this episode you will learn:

• The power of time off for being creative.
• Niche- Knowing your one thing and running with it.
• Researching other people, not so you can copy, so that you can differentiate yourself.
• Being consistent- humans like following stories.
