#134 Finding your passion, a pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago, and how to turn a rejected novel into an Amazon bestseller, with Brian John Skillen.

Brian John Skillen is a professional filmmaker, writer, and international dance instructor. His life has been strongly influenced by his many adventures around the world, but he says that the most profound one was his pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago.

He is just launching the second book in the series, and he's using the 'Kickstarter' platform to raise the funds for the project for it.
