You never know unless you ask... In this case it was me stumbling across a random Instagram page I thought was funny and sending the account owner a DM asking if he wanted to be on my non-existent podcast.

Today we've got Temi Ayodele (I completely butchered his name in the recording) on the show who started The Bratpackers, a travel satire website aimed at poking fun of the ridiculousness of the travel blogging space. Temi and I have never met in person, but got along right from the jump due to our collective hatred of typical travel bloggers. I was particularly interested in having Temi on the show because The Bratpackers isn't a full-time gig for him. He just got his masters, works a standard office job in New York City, and his website just happens to be a fun side project to keep him sane. At this point, it's not for the money, but he literally started it as a way to "make his friends laugh." I appreciate that.
