Travel for the Soul: Building a Business & Life You Love (Best of Series) #182

Kim Anderson Episode 182

Ever wonder what happens when you actually design your life around your dream?

In this Best Of episode, host Kim Anderson rewinds the conversation with Lucas Chesterton, founder of Indy Escapes, a travel company creating epic group adventures for solo travelers in dreamy destinations like Kenya, Uganda, Turkey, Croatia, the Maldives, and Bali.

Lucas has explored over 120 countries, but his journey isn’t about ticking off a list. It’s about living with purpose, building meaningful community, and chasing the kind of joy that can’t be faked. In this episode, you’ll hear how he turned a soul-searching question"If money were no object, how would you spend your days?" into a life filled with travel, connection, and real impact.

If you’ve ever dreamed of ditching the 9-to-5, building something meaningful, or living with more freedom and heart, Lucas’ story is your permission slip.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

  • How one question can reshape your entire life
  • Why travel is the ultimate connector—and what makes a trip truly transformational
  • The power of building a lifestyle, not just a business

This one’s for the dreamers, the explorers, and anyone craving more adventure and intention in their everyday life.

Hit play and get inspired to design a life you don’t need a vacation from.
