Taking the Leap: Reflecting on a Life Changing 2018 with Austin Meyer | Ep. 011

Happy New Year! In today’s episode I am reflecting on my life changing 2018. 2018 was a year in which I quit my job, moved out of California for the first time to go live in Zambia, and went 100% all in on pursuing my dream of becoming the best documentary filmmaker I can be.

To help guide my reflection, I sat down with my good friend and fellow documentary filmmaker, Joe Alexander-Short, who interviewed me about the highlights, setbacks, and learnings from this past year.

In this conversation we talk about how I got my National Geographic grant and why that was such a catalyzing moment for my career, how my background as an athlete influences my work as a storyteller, and what my long-term goals are that I use as fuel everyday.
