It's Never Too Late To Write Your Next Chapter With Michael Cowan
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Michael Cowan has lived many lives.
He's been an attorney, educator, businessman, musician, songwriter, and now, an author. His debut novel, John B. Peoples, is proof that some of life's most meaningful adventures begin long after we think we've settled into who we are.
In this episode of Speaking of Travel, Michael shares what inspired him to finally write the novel that had been quietly waiting inside him, why France, and especially Paris and Marseille, became such important settings, and how travel has shaped both his storytelling and his perspective on life.
Together we explore what it means to keep growing, embrace curiosity, redefine success, and discover new purpose through every season of life.
Whether you're dreaming about your next journey, considering a new creative path, or wondering if it's ever too late to begin again, this conversation is a reminder that the best chapters are sometimes the ones we never saw coming.
A must listen!
