Dan The Road Trip Guy

Picture yourself embarking on a transformative journey, not just across landscapes, but through the very essence of life's purpose and meaning. Denis Beausejour, a man who shifted gears from a high-flying corporate career at Procter & Gamble to the profound calling of being a pastor. Our conversation cruises through Denis's captivating life story, from navigating a bone-chilling road trip in a vintage Volkswagen Beetle to the seismic awakening that rerouted his path towards spirituality and reflection. Along the way, Denis imparts the wisdom he's gathered on the road less traveled, a journey that he's encapsulated in his heartfelt memoir, "The Biggest Idea Ever."
As we peel back the layers of Denis's corporate tenure, we uncover the entrepreneurial spirit that propelled him through the ranks and the immense insights he gained. Yet, it was the aftermath of an earthquake in Japan that shook the foundation of his life, steering him toward a new horizon where faith and purpose intersect. Denis's pivot from the business boardroom to the pulpit is not just a career change; it's an odyssey that has taken him across continents, nurturing his family, his flock, and ultimately, his own soul.
Strap in for a philosophical road trip as we venture beyond the confines of routine life, tackling the concept of bucket lists, the thrill of a dream drive across America in a Porsche 911, and the timeless allure of a historical travel companion. This episode is a map to living with intention and presence, as Denis shares how to start your day, and the art of slowing down—lessons mirrored in Denis's pilgrimage on the Camino with his wife. Whether you're seeking direction on your personal highway or just a passenger enjoying the view, this episode offers a compass to guide you towards a life of meaning.
