About the Author
Roadtrip Nation started when fresh-out-of-college grads Nathan Gebhard, Mike Marriner, and Brian McAllister hit the road in a beat-up RV to interview people who had forged livelihoods doing what they love. Almost two decades later, Roadtrip Nation has grown into a long-running public television series, a nonprofit career exploration organization, and a movement of people committed to living lives true to their interests.
