In this powerful episode on The Growth Concept, I sit down with award-winning Emmy storyteller, filmmaker, and world traveler Barry Walton to unpack what it really means to live authentically, take risks, and chase your dream… even when things get hard.
From surviving a life-changing crash at 16 to moving across the world for love, Barry shares his raw journey through the highs and lows of following your purpose. We talk about the role of God in his life, solo travel as a path to self-discovery, the cost of playing it safe, and how storytelling can help us connect, heal, and grow.
Barry doesn’t just speak about chasing a dream; he lives it. If you’re in your 20s or at any stage of life where you feel stuck, scared, or unsure what to do next… This episode is one you need to hear. You’ll walk away with a new sense of clarity, courage, and perspective.
Topics we dive into:
• God's role in the hard times and transitions
• The real journey behind chasing a dream
• Connection through culture and perspective
• Why storytelling is so powerful
• And why playing it safe might be holding you back more than you realise
