You are unique and you do have something to offer to people and it doesn’t have to be what everybody else says it is.” ~ Alyssa & Heath Padgett
In May 2014, Alyssa and Heath Padgett were married. Four days later, they hit the road in their first home together, a 1994 Coachman Leprechaun motor home. Months earlier, they had both agreed that they wanted to quit their jobs and leave Texas, where they’d grown up. They wanted to be fulltime writers, and their initial jobs out of college weren’t moving them any closer to that dream. Their idea to travel morphed into a seven-month honeymoon road trip to all 48 states. But they realized they couldn’t travel aimlessly for that long. So Heath came up with the idea to work a different job in every state and film a documentary entitled “Hourly America” about their experiences. They were able to find a sponsor to help cover some of their costs. I met them in Portland, OR, while we were attending the World Domination Summit in the summer of 2014. We were working together on the film team covering various stories during the conference. My wife, Linda, and I were inspired by their vision and hutzpah, and have been following their exploits both on the road and off.
In this episode, Heath and Alyssa talk about tackling a creative project with hutzpah, dealing with conflict when you’re living in an RV, and pushing aside the excuses that keep you from pursuing your passion and taking that big risk. When something seems too big, and too crazy – it’s all about taking small steps every day, finding someone to encourage you, and putting some skin in the game to push you to commit on a bigger level.
