Dan The Road Trip Guy

This podcast started as my daughter and I drove to Florida on memorial day weekend 2022. It has been a wonderful journey of talking with my guests since then. I believe so much is missed by not having conversations with people who come into our lives. I so regret not asking the 101 questions of my parents prior to their deaths. I love to hear other people's stories. The stories can include cars, road trips, how they got in their job or started their business and what is on their bucket list (Before I  die, I want to ____________). I love to ask my guests, if you could take a road trip with anyone living or deceased, who would it be, where would you go, what would you drive and what would you talk about? From time to time I will ask my guests to leave us with one piece of advice to help us live a more fulfilled life.I hope you enjoy the episodes. You can find me at https://www.dannyneal.com.
