Jared Hartmann is a Canadian who, after traveling to a number of countries, became fascinated by the stories of those who choose to build lives far from where they were born. This curiosity led him to create the Boarding Call Podcast, a show dedicated to conversations about culture shock, identity, and the process of embracing new ways of life. Now reflecting on the first year of hosting the podcast, Jared shares what he’s learned from these international stories and how the experience has reshaped his own understanding of the world.
