Traveling Solo to 30 Countries: How the World Changed Jessica McGann

In this episode Michael sits down with Jessica McGann, a world traveler whose journey took her solo through 30 countries over more than two years. Discover what it’s truly like to experience the world firsthand—and how those experiences shaped the person she became. Jessica’s journey eventually led her into the film and television industry, where she worked behind the scenes on popular productions including Big Brother Canada, Top Chef Canada, Blown Away, and All-Round Champion. But her story took another unexpected turn in 2020, when her mental health reached a breaking point. That difficult chapter became a turning point, leading Jessica to pursue a Diploma in Life Coaching and eventually share what she learned through one-on-one sessions, workshops, and her podcast, The Pivot Point. This is a conversation about travel, transformation, creativity, resilience, and the unexpected turns that shape a life. Before we return to a new conversation next week, we’re reaching back into the One More Thing Before You Go archives for a story worth experiencing again—or perhaps hearing for the first time.
