    Ted Cragg on Reinventing Travel, Family Adventures & Podcasting Insights

    #46: Welcome back to Manifest Travel! I’m Brittany Braddock, and this incredible episode features my conversation with someone who knows both the art of storytelling and the adventure of travel. My guest is Ted Cragg—Podcast Manager, audio editor, and the expert behind Quick Edit Podcasts, where he helps people launch, manage, and grow their shows. Ted’s journey is a fascinating one—he spent years traveling solo before transitioning to a different kind of adventure: traveling as a family. We talk about how his priorities shifted as his family grew, what it was like embarking on a three-month European adventure with two kids, and how he’s embraced a ‘nomad at home’ lifestyle. He also shares his unique perspective on careers, having worked a variety of interesting jobs over the years, and we dive into the heartwarming story of how he and his wife reconnected after years apart and set off to travel the world together. Beyond travel, Ted has had a wide-ranging career path, and he shares his perspective on being a ‘multipotentialite’—someone with many interests and skills who doesn’t fit into just one box. We also get into his journey into the podcasting world, his predictions for the future of the industry, and his best advice for those looking to launch or grow their own podcast. This episode is packed with wisdom, adventure, and inspiration!
