What can a 1940s road trip teach us about living more freely today? A lot.
In this special episode of Kerouacs Cruising, Cara and James reflect on Jack Kerouac’s On the Road and how it parallels their own quest for a more connected, untamed life. From spontaneous travel and soul-deep conversations to the search for authenticity in a hyper-connected but emotionally distant world — they share what it means to truly live on your own terms.
Tune in to hear about:
- Why On the Road still resonates 75+ years later
- How traveling full-time helped them break free from the 9-to-5 mold
- The role of connection, spontaneity, and soul-searching in their journey
- Reflections on navigating culture, expectations, and personal growth
- Their next steps as authors in Together We Rise, coming June 24
