About this episode
Alex Bescoby discusses the value of meaningful journeys beyond scale and records.
In a world where bigger, faster, and more extreme often get the most attention, this short conversation offers a different perspective. Alex Bescoby reflects on why meaningful journeys are not defined by scale or records, but by whether they move you. Whether it’s crossing continents or simply paying closer attention to something in your own life, the value lies in the experience itself. And in sharing it. Because the stories that resonate most are often not the biggest ones, but the ones that are felt most deeply.
