Wilderness Within
Wilderness Within (WW) is an exploration of our inner worlds through shared stories and experiences. It is inspired by the stories of good friends and the immense interest to dive beyond the superficial and into the depths of one's devotions and motivations in life. Each episode is intended to be an open share and celebration of the triumphs, failures, learnings, and/or vulnerabilities of the guest(s) and your host, Kai J. Lee. This is also a space where he will share personal stories and lessons from years living as a purpose-driven, camera-lugging vagabond and content creator. WW is possible due to the ongoing financial support of patreon supporters (https://www.patreon.com/subtledream). Follow and engage with this journey @wildernesswithinpod
