The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One with Ramblin’ Randy – Radio Show Host, World Traveler, & Music Aficionado

Imagine being 15 and landing your first and dream job as a radio DJ, which then leads to a cascade of events that led to a primetime radio show that’s syndicated globally? Today, that radio show, Sunday Night Slow Jams, has grown from being aired in just three radio stations to about 200 stations in 14 countries, including Lagos, Nigeria =, and Kenya! This is Randy’s (R Dub) story, and he shares a lot of tips on turning one’s passion into a  reliable source of income.

Randy didn’t rest on these oars and instead set a goal to visit every country on planet earth. As at the time of this writing, he has visited 142 (out of 193) countries, including North Korea (#대박)! All of these he accomplished despite having a job where he works for the man and only gets three weeks of vacation a year! And his travel blog is very rich with personal anecdotes, visual buffet to feast your eyes on, and humorous encounters.

According to him, “he lusts for places off the beaten path; countries most haven’t even heard of, and would definitely not be able to find on a map: places like Suriname, Nauru, and French Guiana.” His passion for travel started in his community college Spanish class. Beyond travel and music, Randy and I also have a common interest; we both loved and mourned an icon in the travel-journalism world – Anthony Bourdain.

In this episode, we talk about his life’s passions and missions and all the numerous lessons he has learned along the way. Randy provided a lot of travel tips on traveling on a tight budget with a busy schedule. We also talked about his most recent trip to Lagos, Nigeria, and why we encourage more Americans to travel out more!

Follow his adventures on his IG and Twitter @slowjams. His music and travel websites are below:

PS: Can we also talk about how that life-changing move when Randy turned the radio dial to the left? Talk about a watershed moment!
