In this episode, we talk with Educator, Author, Photographer, Artist, Vlogger, Journalist, Hiker, and Investor Joshua Smalley, joining us from his current base in Ethiopia. Joshua shares a wide-ranging life story that stretches from his early days in Seattle, where he once dreamed of becoming an architect, to teaching and inspiring students across Africa and beyond.

A lifelong world traveler and wildlife tracker, Joshua dives into the experiences that shaped his global perspective — from journalistic journeys and artistic pursuits to hiking remote landscapes and working in international Education. We explore his first book, Tales of a Traveling Teacher: Walking with Snow Leopards in Paradise, and the many adventures that brought it to life.

This conversation is an ambitious and deeply reflective look at a life driven by curiosity, learning, and exploration.
