Fools & Dreamers Show

Fools & Dreamers Show

My name is U.I. I humbly describe myself as an eccentric. I love long-term travel. The book, Vagabonding is my lodestar. I have created 2 money making ventures. And due to my eccentric nature, I have had my fair share of failures. Lots of them to be exact. The criteria on being a guest on the show are: 1. You have a travelled a fair bit. I believe travel (especially long-term travel) is the best education. 2. You are business-minded. You have created a money making venture. Size is irrelevant. 3. You are willing to share your failure(s) and how you rebounded from it/them. You can expect that every guest have been vetted on this criteria and passed in flying colours. Enjoy the show.
