In this episode, Brent welcomes a truly inspiring guest - Kimberly Haley-Coleman, founder and CEO of Globe Aware, an organization redefining what it means to travel with purpose.

Kimberly’s mission is simple yet profound: to make “voluntourism” - the combination of travel and meaningful community service - accessible, sustainable, and life-changing for both volunteers and the local communities they serve.

Since 2001, Globe Aware has been helping families and individuals from around the world spend their vacations giving back - whether it’s building fuel-efficient stoves in Peru to combat deforestation, supporting Buddhist communities in Bhutan, or creating safe marketplaces and schools in remote villages.

In their conversation, Brent and Kimberly explore:

🌱 The philosophy behind responsible volunteer travel

🏡 How projects are designed to empower local communities rather than disrupt them

💚 The connection between environmental sustainability and cultural understanding

✈️ How travel can open hearts, break stereotypes, and spark real-world change

Kimberly also shares beautiful stories from Bhutan, where volunteers are helping build small-scale projects alongside Buddhist monks - and where “Gross National Happiness” replaces GDP as a measure of success.

If you’ve ever wondered how to make your travels matter, this episode is a must-listen.
