Manage episode 470980601 series 3310156
Ever dreamed of leaving it all behind to pursue a life of adventure? In this episode, I sit down with adventure filmmaker Alex "Gooch" Ugarte, whose journey from corporate real estate to paddling the Ganges and cycling through the Australian Outback is nothing short of epic.
We dive into the highs and lows of his unconventional career—losing footage, battling self-doubt, and the relentless mental and physical toll of filming solo expeditions. Gooch shares the raw realities of following your passion, the sacrifices it takes, and why, despite the struggles, he wouldn’t trade it for anything.
If you’ve ever felt the call to adventure—or just wondered what goes into making those breathtaking travel films—this one’s for you.
