I've mentioned Craig Mod and his books and walking before and over the last couple days have been enjoying his two lengthy conversations with Tim Ferris. Craig is an American who’s been living in Japan for ages, writing and publishing — creating his own books to his own high standards, and living a life dedicated to his art.
When he goes on his lengthy walks (1000s of kilometres so far), he walks for 8 hours a day, stopping to talk to locals, have lunch, take photos, and understand where he is and where he’s going, and then he writes 4 hours per day. He’ll do this every day for his weeks- / month-long journeys. He does this by paring down his device use with Freedom and understanding Sister Corita’s 7th rule: The only rule is work. (I’m putting words in his mouth here.)
You can find the podcast in the usual places by searching for the Tim Ferris Show and then looking for Craig Mod, or you can stream them via YouTube:
