I recently returned from a lunch with a friend of Steve B’s and it was great.
I always appreciate people helping us out with our endeavor.
One thing that always blows me away when we talk to others about this adventure is the constant concern with an angle, as was our friends concern. Sometimes I start to believe that I am crazy. I guess that Steve and I may be the only ones that think a road trip around the world through 3rd world countries, warzones, and generally extreme environments and situations is angle enough. But I guess that is just part of our culture in the United States…for the most part there is always an angle.
At some point during lunch our friend got the message about the “angle” of the trip, and at that point really started to get excited. I assume that is why many times it is difficult to get through to possible funds for the expedition…no one sees the inherent value in an interactive website following a journey around the world. Conversely, this is the main point of our journey-we want more people to find a real interest in the rest of the world, without an angle.
Can anyone say paradox?
And can anyone tell me what our angle should be?
