Talking with Cory Mortensen

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Cory Mortensen. Here's some background:

Born in the small town of New Prague, Minnesota, and raised amidst the sun-soaked landscapes of Scottsdale, Arizona, Cory Mortensen embarked on a unique journey that shaped both his life and literary career.

Choosing an unconventional path, his journey began with dropping out of college to immerse himself with a job on Wake Island, gaining valuable experiences that would later infuse his writing with a distinctive perspective. Returning to the United States, he started a dynamic career as a project manager for several prestigious architecture firms, coupled with a venture into real estate by flipping houses.
​
The allure of exploration took center stage when Cory made the bold decision to sell everything and traverse the globe for two transformative years. This period of travel not only broadened his horizons but also laid the foundation for a successful entrepreneurial endeavor. Cory established and grew a business into a multimillion-dollar venture, eventually selling it to pursue a shared dream with his wife, Kate.

Cory has written three books about his travels. You can find out more by visiting his website: www.thebuddhaandthebee.com

It's time for another podcast...

I will be running a 1-hour mini-workshop, an Introduction to Wildlife Photography, on the 26th March (recording available if you can't make the live event), and a short, 6-week course to help you with composition, "Seeing Differently", starting on the 13th April.
