If Not Now, When? with Scott Barker

In this episode of the Away We Go We Go podcast, we sit down with Scott Barker for an inspiring conversation about making bold life transitions. Scott opens up about his recent decision to step away from building a successful venture capital fund, sell almost all his possessions, and embark on an open-ended journey of travel and self-discovery across the world. From his beginnings in Vancouver, adventures playing rugby in Australia, and the realization that life’s “someday” thinking can be a trap, Scott shares the mindset shifts and hurdles he's facing in real time, with genuine humor and vulnerability.Together, we explore themes like letting go of material identity, battling burnout, and the powerful stories behind life-changing decisions. Scott also introduces his upcoming project, ‘The Wake Up Call’, aimed at helping people reevaluate success and meaning before life forces them to. The conversation is filled with practical advice for anyone feeling stuck, from decluttering your life to moving past analysis paralysis when contemplating big moves.Feeling inspired or curious about making a change of your own?
