Alondo Brewington starts off reflecting on his recent travels across the continent of Africa, going on safari in Tanzania, and experiencing Kigali, Rwanda—one of the cleanest and safest cities in the world.  He then takes us on his journey growing up in the American South and the role of music in his upbringing. He shares how hip hop’s evolution impacted him along the way—from discovering breakdancing to first hearing Rakim to the emergence of Outkast in Atlanta.  He also reflects on his college experience in Atlanta, including the emergence of Club 112, the rise and fall of Freaknik, and the night Tupac bumped into him just hours before getting into a shootout in 1993.  He then talks about his experiences studying abroad, developing his love for travel, and transitioning into the digital nomad lifestyle.  He shares his love for martial arts, the historical and cultural significance of Capoeira, and explains why you should never give a sword to a man that can’t dance.  He also talks about his love for playing poker, trading options, and performing stand up comedy as he travels the world.  He explains his approach to “risk” and reflects on common themes that tie his wide-ranging interests together.  He also talks about hosting the Cocoa Nomad Podcast, shares his tips and philosophy on pursuing financial freedom, and reflects on what travel means to him.  FULL SHOW NOTES AVAIALBLE AT: www.TheMaverickShow.com
