What Happens When Two Professionals Quit Work and Travel the Globe in Search of Happiness

from Gap to Great

Alex Tague (Boy Alex) and Alex Enko (Girl Alex) are a married couple in their early 30s who recently left successful corporate careers in New York City to travel the world in search of happiness. Over a few Bloody Marys and the "Napkin of Choice" they decided to put their things in storage, buy two tickets to the other side of the globe, and spend the year interviewing people of different cultures about what makes them tick.   In this interview, we get into everything from leaving behind friends to building a commune to whether or not MBA programs are worth it. What I love most about this interview is the introspection and consideration the Alexes have taken in leaving the comfort and stability of their NY lives. These kids have quite a few profound thoughts up their sleeves, so even if you're not interested in setting off to see the world, you'll still get a lot of value from hearing their perspective.     Full show notes available: andreawien.com/alexes
