Trading Certainty for Serendipity with Jonny Wright

Jonny Wright isn’t your typical wanderer. He didn’t torch his old life or sprint toward the horizon in a fit of cinematic rebellion. No doors were slammed. No bridges were burned. Just one quiet, existential moment staring at the ceiling thinking, “Is this it? Seriously? This… can’t be it.”

That tiny question sparked a very un-tiny adventure. Jonny packed a bag, stuck out a thumb, and stepped into the wild with more questions than socks and more curiosity than common sense. He wasn’t running away from life; he was running into it, unfiltered, unplanned, occasionally unshowered, and always wide awake.

In this episode, Jonny shares what unfolds when you trade certainty for serendipity and safety for strangeness. His stories are a reminder that the world gets a lot bigger, and your life gets a lot richer, when you stop trying to control every turn and let the road teach you something new.

A writer, musician, and audio storyteller with a background in music and cinema studies, Jonny follows questions more faithfully than career paths. And be sure to check out his podcast, Go And Find Out. 

If you’ve ever felt the tug to break the script, color outside the lines, or simply see what happens when you stop knowing what happens next, this conversation will nudge you toward a little more courage, curiosity, and wonder, one step, one story, and one hitchhiked ride at a time.
