15. Salena Lettera - Truck Driver
As I'm planning for this holiday season, I realized we're living in incredible times. I can go online and order just about anything imaginable and have it delivered to my door in two days. It's like magic. But I know that there a lot of wheels in motion behind the scenes that make the magic...

14. Matt Goulding - Food & Travel Author
When it comes to dream jobs, I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone in saying that I'd love to be Anthony Bourdain. Think about it. He travels the world, experiences cultures through food and shares it with us. What's not to love? But rather than dream about the job, our guest this week made it a...

13. Corinne Oestreich - Surrogate Mother
Becoming a parent may be one of the largest decisions we can make in our lives. But how do you approach that decision if you know the child isn't going to be yours? To help us answer this question, we're joined by Corinne Ostrich. She's a mother of two and she's also a surrogate mother. In fact...

Happy Thanksgiving!
We're taking this week off from publishing a full episode in order to celebrate Thanksgiving. In the spirit of the holiday, I wanted to say that I'm incredibly thankful for all of you who are Life Done Different listeners. Sharing this podcast with you all is one of the biggest highlights of my...

12. Henok Negash - The Bowtie Magician
From fancy tuxedos, to beautiful assistants, vanishing coins and teleporting cards - I've always been mesmerized by magic. But beyond the illusions, one of the things that I find most mysterious about the world of magic, is how polarized it seems. On one side of the spectrum you've got magicians...

11. Christopher Voss - FBI Hostage Negotiator
The phone rings. You pick it up and on the other line you hear a voice that says: "We have your wife and child. You have 24 hours to get us 5 million dollars or else they die." What do you do? I can't imagine what getting a call like that would feel like, let alone what to do. But for Chris Voss...

10. Kathryn Kellogg - Trash is scary! Going Zero Waste.
Happy Halloween everyone! I thought we could start the show today in Planet Money style with two numbers, 4.4 and zero. I'll give you a second to guess their significance. Alright, ready? If you said that 4.4 is the average number of pounds that we Americans produce as waste on a daily basis…

9. Peter Skinner - Repair Cafes
I hate it when I break things because I only have three options: 1) I can try to repair it myself, which isn't really an option 2) I can pay for a professional to fix it, which usually costs more than the product itself or 3) I can ditch the old one and buy a new one. And this is the cycle that...

8. Casey Fenton - Founder of Couchsurfing
It's 1999. You decide you want to travel the world, but you're from a small town, you don't have a lot of connections and you don't have a ton of cash. What do you do? This was the question that inspired Casey Fenton (@caseyfenton) to create Couchsurfing.com. If you haven't heard of Couchsurfing...

7. Puma Swede - International Porn Star
First things first, this episode is an explicit one, with adult themed content, so if you're sensitive to that, you may want to skip this one. Alright, for those of you who are sticking around, the topic today is porn. I'm guessing you're familiar with it, but how familiar are you with what goes…

6. Matt Pohlson - CEO & Co-Founder of Omaze
What if donating to charity meant that you could win the experience of your dreams; like flying around the world to party with your favorite band, a role in a blockbuster movie, or having lunch 1-on-1 with your idol? Would you be more inclined to give to a good cause and would charities raise…

5. Wyatt Jenkins - From Techno to Tech
Love it or hate it, house music has become one of the most popular genres of our time. But it wasn't always like that. This music was once deeply underground. Even the name, house music, is a nod to the illegal warehouse parties it was once played at. So how did we go from there to the festivals...

4. Laura Dekker - Youngest Solo Circumnavigator Ever
At age 14, Laura Dekker set sail on a solo journey from the Netherlands. A year and a half later, she became the youngest person ever to circumnavigate the globe. Her tale is incredible, but perhaps the most astonishing part is that it almost didn't happen. Laura originally planned to embark on…

There's a rule in Las Vegas - the house always wins. It turns out that rule can be broken, and Blade shows us how. We talk about Blade's transition to becoming a professional gambler, the preparation that was required, including creating an alternate persona, and the capital necessary for the...
